Naini Setalvad
Food For The Pitta Type
I have always given great importance to ayurveda—the ancient Indian scientific wisdom. In the pursuit of good health in ayurveda, the first step is to find out your body type. I too follow this with all my clients. Every person has a unique psychophysiological body type, and this is formed the minute we take birth, as our DNA is made up of the five great elements of the universe, i.e., earth, water, air, space, and fire. In short, these are the controllers which decide whether we have a healthy body or not. Remember one thing; the forces of nature work in our body as well as outside it. The more we recognise their great power within us, the more we tend to harmonise with the outside world.

Dosha can be understood as a word meaning ‘that which changes.’ It is a vigorous life force which establishes your biological and psychological characteristics. So, the three dosha types—Vata Dosha, Pitta Dosha, and Kapha Dosha—apply to both, your body and mind, and each dosha is linked to two elements. Thus, to understand the difference between the three doshas is to become aware of the degree to which the three forces interact with each other.

Even though there are 10 basic body types, I am only going to educate you about the main three body types. Last month, we discussed Vata Dosha; this time, I am going to talk about Pitta Dosha. Once you figure out your body type and how to handle it, you will be able to map your way towards good health.

What is Pitta Dosha?
