Breakfast - Foods & Herbs List

AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE ON BREAKFAST

American breakfasts tend to resemble desserts. They are often sweet and rich in carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The romantic ideal of a hearty breakfast has led to popularity of the 'hungry-man breakfast' and 'mile high stack of pancakes.' These breakfasts can make your drowsy throughout the day. Americans are the only culture that eats radically different foods for breakfast. In other countries, people often eat the same foods for breakfast as other meals. For example, a British breakfast often includes bread with beans.

To provide stable nutrition throughout the day, Vata should make sure to include protein in their morning meal. An ideal breakfast for Vata is oatmeal cooked with a 1/4c of chopped, skinned almonds. Kapha can skip breakfast altogether if not hungry. Pitta people should eat a heavier meal that can hold them until lunch, including wheat, milk, and a Pitta pacifying protein such as almonds or sunflower seed. An ideal Kapha breakfast is a grapefruit with honey.
