Eat person is unique according to his constitution. There are certain questions we asked to Patient through that we get to know for that particular person with Dosha is dominant. And accordingly we advise treatment, lifestyle, changes and diet improvement. For example, if person is a dominant, then he’ll be having dry skin,underweight, very active , and he’ll be having joint pain and all
If Pita is dominant- person will be stubborn, anger, skinny issues like redness, allergy rashes strong, sharp
If kapha is dominant the person will be overweight, lazy calm, loving
These are just few examples. It takes a detailed history to decide which Dosa is dominant, particularly for you so better take care, personal consultation, and accordingly you can follow the advice. Thank you. Have a good day.

every person has three types of prakurthi i.e
vata , pitta and kapha
in every person one prakruthi will be dominant
in vataja person :-
they wiil have lean personality
skin will be dry
it relates to the nervous system and controls breathing
ata individuals should eat foods that increase kapha qualities, such as heaviness, stillness, and smoothness. This is said to balance the coldness and lightness of vata.
Some vata individuals have shifting, sensitive digestive patterns and variable appetites. They tend to skip meals or forget to eat, which can lead to unintentional weight loss. They may also experience gas, bloating, and constipation.
According to Ayurveda, they should choose warm, moist, and heavy foods that are easily digestible. They should avoid cold and raw foods as well as stimulants such as nicotine and caffeine.
for pitta persons
they are moderate bulit , attractive body , tall and strong
they sweat quickly
Avoiding spicy, hot, and oily foods, and including cooling foods like cucumbers, fruits, and vegetables can help.
kapaja prakruthi
they have fatty body , they gets tired quickly
generally graceful, gentle, loving, loyal, and tolerant, with a calm and steady mind
diet should be little quantity , less sweats , less milk products , spicy and sour foods

Understanding your body type in Ayurveda, also known as your dosha, is like decoding your unique blueprint. The three doshas—vata, pitta, and kapha—are combinations of the five elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth, and they govern all physical and mental processes.
To identify your dosha, consider physical traits, behavioral tendencies, and your natural inclinations. Vata types are typically slender with a tendency toward dry skin and are energetic but may have irregular eating and sleeping patterns. Pitta types are of medium build, sharp intellects, and have fiery temperaments; they may experience frequent hunger and heat. Kapha types usually have larger builds, stable and loving natures, and enjoy steady routines.
Once you identify your primary dosha, you can tailor your lifestyle and diet to balance it. For instance, vata types benefit from warm, moist, and nourishing foods like cooked grains and soups, avoiding raw and cold foods. Pitta should emphasize cooling, hydrating foods such as cucumbers and melons while limiting spicy, hot foods. For kapha, lighter, spicier foods that are low in oil and sugar, like green leafy vegetables and spicy teas, can help rebalance their energy.
Incorporating Ayurvedic medicine or herbal supplements, Ashwagandha can be useful for vata, Brahmi for calming too much pitta, and Trikatu which helps in enhancing digestion for kapha types - it's important to consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal regimen.
Beyond diet, lifestyle is crucial: vata types might benefit from grounding routines and calming activities. Pitta individuals should practice cooling, cooling strategies to manage stress, while kapha types need more dynamic, invigorating activities to keep energy levels up.
Also you see diet and lifestyle as a way to connect deeply with your dosha and nature. If any serious health issues arise consult a healthcare professional promptly. Balancing your dosha is a gradual journey so patience and consistency are your best allies.
