This meal plan can be used for Vata mind-body constitutions, to maintain dosha balance, and to restore balance if necessary, regardless of the basic constitution.
Vata is a cold and dry dosha; This meal plan contains warm, nourishing foods with moderately heavy texture, plus added butter and fat are good for stabilizing. Take a hot or herbal tea with snacks in the late afternoon. All sweet fruits (so long as they are extra-ripe) are OK for Vata. It is best to drink warm or hot water throughout the day.
FOODS TO REDUCE:
While balancing your Vata, it is best to reduce cold foods such as salads, iced drinks, raw vegetables, and greens. Avoid drinks with too much caffeine and candies as they disturb Vata. Avoid unripe fruits, as they are too astringent.
