Ayurveda has one unique feature- it recommends all its
ayurvedic therapies on the basis of
body constitution. If one wants to remain healthy, s/he must listen to their
bodies and act accordingly. The same principle works when Ayurveda
prescribes food for all. In fact, 'Aahar' or food is one of the Traya
Upastambha (Essential Triads of Health). 'Ahar Pachan' or
digestion is very important for defining the state of health of any person.
Indigestion can lead to many
diseases. So, how can one achieve proper digestion? Ayurveda suggests that
one should eat such food which is compatible to one's body type. Body type
in Ayurveda is defined on the basis of three Doshas- Vaata, Pitta and Kapha.
To understand what foods are suitable to ones's body type, it is first
essential to understand the concept of Doshas and the three Ayurvedic body
types.
