  Vata

  Vata BodyYou tend to be small-boned, naturally thin and find it hard to put on muscle. Like the wind, you have a naturally cold and dry body, you may have dry skin and hair. You are hyperactive and have a hard time sitting in one place for too long and you love movement and exercise, but can easily overwork yourself, becoming fatigued and weak. Like the wind, appetite is irregular- some days you eat a lot and others you go most of the day without eating. As a Vata body type, you require more warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest and grounding for the body. Stay clear of cold and raw foods, which will further weaken your digestive fire. Reach for root vegetables, which naturally have grounding properties, as they are grown under the ground. Try to avoid cold and dry foods, eating cold cereal for breakfast and snacking on crackers. Vata Mind Vata types are creative free thinkers who require constant change, easily becoming bored with the mundane. You start lots of different projects but sometimes have a hard-time finishing them. You’re the type of person to think outside the box and ideas circulate through your mind rapidly, sometimes it’s difficult to organize the swirl in your head. You must practice mindfulness to prevent yourself from becoming anxious, which is how you react to situations out of your control. When you are balanced, you are energetic, joyful and full of life. When you are out of balance, you are nervous, anxious and unsettled.For easy to incorporate Ayurvedic tips, follow me on instagram @ayurvedawithsupriyaIf you're ready to dive in deeper into all things Ayurveda, book a free consultation and click the button below

  Pitta BodyYou most likely have a medium build, are able to put on muscle easily. Your body contains a great deal of heat that needs to be released, they often lean towards more strenuous exercise to cool down their bodies. You naturally have an athletic physique with a strong appetite to match. You tend to get "hangry" (hungry/ angry) if you don't get your meals in and require lots of protein. You often feel overheated and may sweat profusely in workouts. You have a fast metabolism and can often get away with eating anything! However, you are likely to suffer from hyperacidity, acid reflux and even ulcers if you do not eat the right diet. You must stay away from stimulants, such as spicy foods, coffee and alcohol, which will further fire your Pitta. Instead, reach for more simply prepared foods, like steamed vegetables or grains.Pitta MindYou have a powerful intellect and a strong ability to concentrate. You are a natural born leader and take command in situations. You tend to stick to your word and finish what you've started. You are precise, sharp-witted, direct, and often outspoken. Sometimes you can become impatient in situations where you are out of control. It's important for you to find ways to cool your fiery temper or you just may blow. When you are balanced, you are determined, ambitious and highly intelligent, with good insight and keen discrimination. When imbalanced, you can be short-tempered, argumentative, and suffer outbursts of emotion.For easy to incorporate Ayurvedic tips, follow me on instagram @ayurvedawithsupriyaIf you're ready to dive in deeper into all things Ayurveda, book a free consultation and click the button below
