lol I mostly eat what my little body tells me to, I am not sure it balances Vata all time, in fact impulsive eating is very Vata as well as skipping meals. If I start painting in the morning I easily forget lunch and when I realize it around 3 pm I usually shrug and keep working, that' s very Vata and silly for balancing... Dairy helps slow down Vata, and oppositely is not good for Kapha type. Stressed Vata will stop eating which is exactly what used to happen to me. I love beans which is not the best for Vata, lol.
This is what it says for balancing Vata :
Unbalanced Vata will metabolize calories so fast that nothing gets stored, fate envied by overweight persons but not a healthy state of affair for Vatas. Trying to have a regular schedule helps balance, and a variety of food, avoiding cold foods and drinks which immediately unbalance more. Heavy hearty food such as vegetarian or at times light meat stews, breads, warm desserts. Everything should be throughly cooked. Raw fruits and vegetables being only a small part for Vata balancing. Beans are aggravating.
This is what is balancing Pitta :
Unlike Vata, Pitta benefits from cold drinks. They need to eat in quiet environment, and gifted with robust digestion have to learn to eat in moderate amounts to not get heartburn or intestinal pain. Spicy or very hot food affects them. Pitta are well suited to vegetarian cooling and unprocessed food. Alcohol abuse and anorexia are frequently seen if Pitta anger turns inward in form of guilt. Pitta thrives on exercise and personal goals.
This is what balances Kapha :
Of the three Doshas, Kapha is the one who mostly should never eat without hunger. Kapha types can easily fast. Ice-cream, butter, rich desserts slow down even more Kapha. Many Kapha struggle with their weight all their life and this results in a sense of hopelessness and diminished self-esteem. Once stabilized by eating more light fruits, such as apples and pears, raw honey as only sweetener, all beans, light grains as barley, millet, rye, but no wheat, all spices except salt, all vegetables, then Kapha will get back to a natural weight. Balancing foods are spicy, bitter and astringent.
