"Hi,
I hope you guys are doing great!
I’m John from the U.S., working as a web agency. From the past month, I am facing slow digestion that continues for more than enough. I got help from professionals but didn’t get any recovery.
I am worried about the stress, and dizziness that occurs due to the slow digestion. I often don’t eat for an entire day, and it is disturbing my performance at work. I just stumbled upon your blog and found some useful information about the complexity I am going through.
I look forward to your suggestions about the slow digestion cure.
Thanks!
John Rapton”
John has an imbalanced Kapha. Balanced Kapha is responsible for stability, substance, lubrication, and support of our body parts.
Imbalanced Kapha predicts ill-functioning and contributes to time taking digestion processes.
A NATURAL SOLUTION
Kapha-Pacifying Foods:
Studies made by ayurvedic experts resulted in finding Kapha-Pacifying foods with their multiple benefits:
Vegetables that favor kapha are generally bitter, pungent, and astringent (drying). Vegetables with mixed tastes are also recommended.
Unlike cooked vegetables that were favorable for Vata, raw veggies are pacifying for kapha. Veggies like Beet Greens, Bell Peppers, Artichoke, and Corn favorable. Common veggies to avoid are Olives, Parsnips, Cucumber, Sweet Potatoes, etc.
Grains that favor kapha are dry, rough, and light. You can consume grains as long as they’re not heavy, dense, or moist. Experts suggest Millet, Amaranth, Barley, Corn, Crackers, Durham Flour, and other similar grains to the ones that are a victim of kapha’s slow digestion.
Contrary to it, if you take Oats, Pasta, Pancakes, Wheat, Rice, Yeasted Bread, and other heavy grains, you can’t avoid the slow digestion problems.
Any fruit that is astringent (drying) and mildly sweet is favorable for Kapha. Fruits that are exceptionally sweet or sour (like grapes or oranges) are not suggested for Kapha balance. Fruit juices are kapha pacifying only if they’re consumed at least one hour after or 30 mins earlier.
Apples, Applesauce, Berries, Cherries, Lemons, Limes, etc. are some of the favorite fruits for Kapha. All these fruits help in easy digestion, while dry fruits like Dates, Kiwi, Papaya, etc. are yet to be avoided.
