Vata

Vata types tend to lose weight, particularly when they are stressed. You’ll benefit from eating regularly, avoiding caffeine, sugar and cold, raw foods. Go for grounding stews made with root veg, as well as warm milks and hot porridges, ‘heavier’ fruits such as bananas, avocados and cherries. Avoid barley, corn, millet, buckwheat and rye. Most spices are beneficial but too many hot ones can be drying.
