Routine is Vata's best lifestyle remedy. The minimum routine for healthy, happy, and successful living is 1) eating your meals at the same time daily and 2) getting into and out of bed at the same time daily. Changes in these two areas disrupt your bio-rhythms, upset digestion and the liver, and have the potential to undermine Vata's delicate health. Vata individuals must take caution not to get too excited or distracted. Excitement will ultimately lead to exhaustion and knock Vata off their routine. Instead, Vata must learn to channel their energy and focus in order to nurture their creative projects long enough to bear fruit.

Vata individuals can create more stability in their lives by making their home nurturing, affectionate, warm, soft, and comfortable. Slippers, comfortable sweaters, throw blankets, and plenty of pillows are helpful for Vata. Keep your home tidy, as a sure sign of Vata imbalance is disorganization or lack of cleanliness.

If you don't know your body type yet, take the quizzes on Joyful Belly.

“As a Vata-Pitta person, the sweet taste is obviously very balancing to me. However, due to the poor blood circulation of this dosha, two meals with a predominant sweet taste are enough to bog down my circulation. Blood movers tend to be either too warm or too sharp and dry, and therefore unbalancing again. What is there to do? I haven't found an answer to this through ayurveda."

“Have you tried golden milk lattes? The turmeric moves your blood but the milk adds sweetness and more grounding for Pitta Vata."
