Quiz Outcomes

1.
You're Ayurvedic Body Type is VATA

Do you love being on the go and naturally have an energetic, active and creative mind? These are nature's gifts to you. These qualities make you unique. As long as you are in balance, you will be lively & enthusiastic, have a lean body & enjoy sound sleep.If VATA dosha is predominate in your true nature, movement and change are common qualities in your mind and/or body. This because you have a predominance of Space + Air qualities in your constitution. The qualities of Space + Air include: Cold, Light, Dry & Mobile which means that your health imbalances will most often carry these qualities. These may look like anemia, poor blood circulation, light body weight, insomnia, constipation & anxiety, when you're imbalanced.In Ayurveda healing occurs when we bring in opposite qualities to those that are creating imbalance. So to balance health conditions that are Cold, Light, Dry & Mobile, you would want to increase qualities like Hot, Heavy, Oily & Stable in your diet & lifestyle. While VATA might be your predominant constitution, you do have the other doshas (PITTA & KAPHA) in your constitution as well; however you have these in lesser amounts.
