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.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota · Answer

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
