( gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass.
Catabolic people tend to be easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic people tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.

Extra sensitive postpartum mothers enjoy lactation promoting benefits from basil. Vatas may also want to substitute fresh basil for parsley.
Pecans are less astringent than walnuts. Substituting pecans and adding 1 tbsp honey are more rejuvenating and Vata balancing. Add 4 tablespoons of dark lignan rich flax oil for magical chemistry combining the sulfur bearing proteins of both the yoghurt and nut with the electron rich lipids (EFA3) in a hi lignan flax oil. Serve it over hot food to cut the raw qualities. This food can be introduced a few weeks after the birth.
Note: The magic won't happen without enough dark lignans in the oil. Dark lignans give flax oil a dark brown color and opacity. |
