Hello Kiran, Kiran, the recommended intake of fruits and vegetables in Ayurveda depends on your individual constitution (Prakriti) and the balance of your doshas. However, generally, it is suggested to consume a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables that are light, fresh, and easy to digest. A good aim would be to include at least 3-4 servings of vegetables and 2-3 servings of fruits daily. For protein, the amount depends on your activity level, metabolism, and whether you're vegetarian or non-vegetarian. On average, 1-1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight is a good target, so for a person weighing around 70-75 kg, it would be about 70-90 grams of protein daily. You can get protein from plant-based sources like lentils, chickpeas, tofu, and nuts. Have you had any recent health check-ups to assess your nutritional needs or any deficiencies, especially concerning protein or other essential nutrients? Also, do you experience any digestive issues or food sensitivities that might affect your ability to absorb proteins?

Determining the right amount of fruits, vegetables, and protein intake is crucial for maintaining balance according to your unique constitution or prakriti in Ayurveda. At 32 years of age, and considering you probably lead a lifestyle typical of someone living in Davangere, Karnataka, your diet needs to be tailored to your individual needs.
Firstly, fruits and vegetables are essential parts of a daily diet. Ayurveda suggests that these should make up a significant portion of your meals. You might aim for about 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, adjusting based on your body's response and needs. The variety is key – include a spectrum of colors to get different nutrients. For instance, leafy greens like spinach, carrots, beetroot, and seasonal fruits such as papaya or mango would be beneficial. Remember to eat fruits separately from meals to avoid indigestion, preferable as a mid-morning or afternoon snack.
As for protein, the amount you need can depend on various factors including your activity levels and dosha type. Typically, a daily intake of around 1 gram of protein per kilogram of your body weight can be beneficial, but if you're physically active – that can be a bit higher. Sources of plant-based proteins like lentils, beans, and chickpeas are preferable in Ayurveda. If you consume dairy, then incorporating paneer or milk can add to your protein intake.
If Vata dominates your constitution, make sure these protein sources are warm and moist. If Pitta is predominant, include cooling proteins like milk, and if Kapha is your main dosha, opt for light and drying proteins like legumes. However, these are general guidelines, and you should observe how your body reacts and adjust accordingly.
Monitor your digestion – if you're experiencing any difficulties like bloating or fatigue after meals, it might indicate a need to adjust your intake. It's also essential to ensure that your agni or digestive fire remains strong; you can do this by having balanced meals, eating at regular intervals, and avoiding overeating. If unsure, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner in person would be ideal to get tailored advice.
