Food For Pitta - #4028

I’ve been struggling with a lot of issues lately that I think are related to excess pitta in my body. For starters, I feel hot all the time, even when others are comfortable. On top of that, I get acid reflux after meals, my skin breaks out easily, and I often feel irritable or impatient. I read somewhere that choosing the right food for pitta can help, but I’m not sure what that actually means or how to start. When it comes to food for pitta, I know I should avoid spicy and sour foods, but does that mean I have to cut them out completely? For example, I love tomatoes and citrus fruits, but are they really bad for pitta? Are there any exceptions or ways to make these foods more suitable for someone with a pitta imbalance? I’ve also heard that cooling foods are great for pitta. What does “cooling” actually mean in terms of food for pitta? Is it about temperature, like eating chilled items, or is it more about the properties of the food itself? If I eat too much raw food, like salads, will that help balance pitta or cause other issues? Another problem I have is deciding what to eat during summer. My pitta symptoms get much worse in hot weather, and I feel like everything I eat makes me feel heavier and more uncomfortable. Are there specific seasonal guidelines when choosing food for pitta? I’m also curious about how to balance protein in a pitta-friendly diet. Can I still eat eggs or fish, or should I switch to plant-based options like legumes? I’m worried about getting enough nutrients while following the rules of food for pitta. Lastly, does food for pitta also mean I need to change the way I eat? For example, should I avoid eating late at night, or is it more about the actual ingredients? I’ve read that pitta digestion is strong but can easily go off balance if I don’t stick to regular meal times. If you have tips or a sample meal plan that works well as food for pitta, I’d love to know! Are there any common mistakes people make when trying to balance pitta through diet?
