A human body can be divided into seven different body types. A person can be vata, pitta, kapha, vata-pitta, pitta-kapha, vata-kapha or tri-dosha
The best thing to do when starting to incorporate an Ayurvedic lifestyle is to keep it simple by utilising the basic principles of this ancient wisdom.
The ratio of these three doshas in your body will makes up your personal constitution (sometimes called Ayurvedic body type or Prakriti) and will help to shed light on the best foods, herbs, and general activities for you.
For example, a Vata type is often restless in mind and body and may need more grounding foods and activities in order to find a sense of balance and stability. Alternatively a Kapha type is often more slow and sedentary by nature and will need more lightening foods and increased mobility in order to avoid sluggishness and lethargy.
