Namaste,
I’m really sorry for your losses, and I understand your concerns. To help balance your Vata body type and improve your chances of a healthy pregnancy, it's important to focus on grounding and nourishing foods.

As a Vata type, you should avoid foods that are dry, cold, or too light, as they can worsen Vata imbalance. This includes raw salads, iced drinks, and processed foods. Avoid excessive caffeine (coffee or strong tea) and dry snacks like chips or crackers, as they can increase Vata's qualities of dryness and irregularity.

In terms of tomatoes, they can be slightly acidic and may aggravate Vata if consumed in excess, so it's best to eat them in moderation. Instead, focus on cooked, warm foods that are grounding and stabilizing, such as whole grains (like rice and oats), sweet potatoes, avocados, and ghee. These foods help balance your body and provide the nourishment needed for fertility.

Since you mentioned low TSH (indicating potential thyroid imbalance), be mindful of foods that support thyroid health. Incorporate seaweed, turmeric, and coconut oil to support your thyroid function. It’s also essential to manage stress and prioritize restful sleep, as these factors can affect both fertility and overall health. Lastly, consider working with a healthcare provider to monitor your thyroid levels while you prepare for your next pregnancy.

I'm so sorry for your losses. As a Vata body type, Ayurveda recommends focusing on foods that are grounding, warm, and moist to balance the qualities of Vata, which can be aggravated by dryness and coldness. It's best to avoid raw, cold, and dry foods such as salads, crackers, and iced drinks, as well as excessive caffeine and alcohol, which can increase Vata's tendency toward anxiety and imbalance. While tomatoes are mildly acidic and can be heating, they may not be a major concern unless they cause digestive discomfort. You should focus on cooked, nourishing meals like soups, stews, and grains, and include healthy fats like ghee, sesame oil, and nuts. Stewed or cooked fruits, along with warm herbal teas (like ginger or chamomile), can help support your digestion and calming your nervous system. Prioritize staying hydrated, incorporating gentle exercises, and managing stress through mindfulness or meditation to support your emotional and physical recovery during this challenging time.
