Pitta Balancing Foods - #5334
I’ve been struggling with acidity, skin rashes, and irritability for months, and after reading about Ayurveda, I think these might be signs of a pitta imbalance. I’m trying to adjust my diet to include more pitta balancing foods, but I’m unsure where to start or how to make it practical for daily meals. From what I understand, pitta balancing foods should be cooling, sweet, and slightly astringent to help counteract the heat and intensity of pitta dosha. Does this mean I should focus on fruits like melons, cucumbers, and coconuts? What about grains like rice and wheat – are they considered good for pitta, or are there better options? I’ve also read that pitta balancing foods exclude spicy, salty, and sour items. Since I love spicy curries and tangy chutneys, this feels like a big challenge. Are there ways to modify recipes so they’re still flavorful but pitta-friendly? Any advice on meal prep or tips for eating out would also be really helpful.
