Diet and nutrition for somebody who has air or water dosha present. And there is a list for you which you can download, where it is a detailed food list where we have foods to favor foods to reduce. But here I want to just talk about the kind of foods that you want to reduce if there is too much water in you, either in your body type or as an imbalance or aggravation that the kind of foods that would work would be which are warm and moist and slightly oily. And why they would work is because the air or water body type is related to space and air, which typically bring dryness and coldness. So when there is too much dryness and coldness what makes sense is I have foods that are warm and moist and slightly oily. So think of think of porridge for breakfast or think of soups for lunch and dinner.
Don't worry about the weather What is it like but if I'm feeling like where the symptoms are all in my body tight, there is too much water or a then I will always benefit from food. This would be the mantra that I would have warm, moist and slightly oily. And the foods that I would like to avoid are dry and cold. For example, the biscuits or the toast is is is not really warm and moist, or crackers are not warm and moist there. So they are not the kind of foods that I would like to eat. So these are some examples details are In the list that you can see or download for you, okay.
So, I will be talking now about some health complaints that are related to water body type which I had forgotten to add. So, this will be added to the when I'm talking about water characteristics. So, the Vata complaints health issues typically will be where there is a movement happening. So, anxiety and stress for example, from from what we know from science is anxiety and stress there is movement in the neurons. And so, typically water body types will have anxiety and stress as the key issues. Another issue for water is fear and in the emotional characteristics, emotional health issues and then the other thing will be dryness and coldness.
So typically when water people have health issues or people somebody who has got water, aggravation, then they will be having complaints about dryness and coldness. So it could be dry skin, dry lips, dry hair, so they may have dandruff issues or dryness in the colon will give them constipation and coldness will typically that there are their hands and feet they'll find typically are cold. So this is what I wanted to add in the complaints about that.
