Support For: Pitta Kapha
Lifestyle suggestions:
-
Individuals of dominant Kapha Doshas have slower metabolism and are often attracted to sweet foods. Pitta governs metabolic activities in the body, such as sugar metabolism.
-
An exaggerated Pitta imbalance affects the body's metabolism, including sugar metabolism. Kapha's sometime need help to curb sugar cravings. Gymnema helps suagr metabolism to balance both of these body type imbalances.
-
Pitta dominant people should not just limit sugar intake when out of balance; but also keep an eye on Pitta aggravating foods (hence taxing an overworked metabolic system) such as oily, fried, spicy foods and alcohol.
