In Ayurveda, it is mainly about eating after their body type. Many recipes have been supplemented with tips on what to avoid or replace if we have a certain body constitution and eat raw materials that our body may not feel good about. Three of the recipes in each chapter are also labeled with doshorna, or body types, vata, pitta and kapha. Schedules and tables help us find which dosha we are.
