Diet of Kapha Constitution

A wholesome diet is essential not only for maintaining health but also for fighting diseases. Intake of proper quantity of food promotes longevity, does not aggravate the doshas, and maintains the digestive capacity. One needs to observe some basic rules along with intake of a wholesome diet:

• Consumption of warm food is essential for kapha as it helps in digestion and also with the downward passage of vata.
• Oily food is beneficial as it helps in stimulating the digestion process, gives strength to the body and sense faculties, and improves complexion.
• Food should be consumed only after the digestion of the previous meal, as then it promotes proper digestion, appetite, proper manifestation of the natural urges and promotes longevity of the person.
• Food with contradictory potencies should be avoided.
• Eating food at the right place and the right time helps to reduce emotional strains.
• Eating in a hurry or carelessly results in the food entering the wrong passage and gives rise to consequences that causes serious complications.
• Eating too slowly does not give satisfaction and impairs digestion.
• Food should be eaten with concentration and self-confidence.
