Ayurveda sees the seasons as doshic too. Here's how to shift your snacking as the weather turns.
Just as we each have a constitution, so do the seasons. Late autumn and winter are Vata seasons — cold, dry and windy. High summer is Pitta — hot and sharp. Late winter and spring are Kapha — damp, cool and heavy.
The Ayurvedic principle is simple: like increases like, and opposites balance. In a cold, dry Vata season, lean into warm, moist, grounding foods. In the heat of Pitta season, favour cooling and calming. In a heavy Kapha spring, choose light and spiced.
This is why rotating your snacks through the year makes sense. A Vata Balance ladoo is a friend in winter; Pitta Cool earns its place in summer; Kapha Ignite shines in spring.
Listen to your body and the weather together, and you'll rarely go wrong.
