What Causes Pitta In Body - #6336

Anonymously

Lately, I’ve been feeling super irritable, sweating a lot, and getting acne out of nowhere. A friend who’s into Ayurveda told me these are signs of excess pitta. So now I’m curious, what causes pitta in body? Is it just diet, or can lifestyle and stress play a role too? I’ve been eating a lot of spicy food lately, which I heard is one of the things that causes pitta in body. But I also stay up late, work under pressure, and drink coffee every day. Could these habits be making it worse? What causes pitta in body besides food? I’ve also noticed that I feel worse in hot weather or after intense workouts. Does external heat contribute to what causes pitta in body? If so, how can I avoid it without completely giving up exercise? If I want to balance my pitta, do I need to change everything all at once? It’s overwhelming to think about quitting coffee, avoiding spicy food, and managing stress all at the same time. Can I focus on just one or two areas first? Also, what are the best ways to identify if pitta is really the issue? Do I need a professional consultation, or are there self-assessments I can try?

Excess pitta in the body can indeed be caused by multiple factors, not just diet. While spicy, oily, and sour foods are typical contributors, lifestyle factors such as stress, lack of sleep, and excessive heat also play a significant role. Coffee, especially in excess, can aggravate pitta due to its stimulating and heating nature. External heat from hot weather and intense physical exertion can also increase pitta, leading to symptoms like irritability, sweating, and acne. To balance pitta, it’s essential to look at both internal and external factors. You don’t need to overhaul everything at once—start with manageable changes like reducing coffee, incorporating cooling foods (like cucumbers and dairy), and practicing stress-relieving activities like meditation or yoga. You can also avoid hot weather and intense workouts during peak heat times. Identifying if pitta is the issue can be done through self-assessment, but a professional consultation will give a more personalized approach. Balancing pitta takes time, so don’t feel pressured to fix everything overnight.
