Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Namaskar to all, I have wanted to get deeper in understanding different points for dietary adjustment. In dry climate, where air humidity is only 15-20%, such as Rajashtan in India one needs to eat oily diet and drink lots of water to help the body to maintain the required liquids and healthy skin, as well as required lubrication. Perhaps one should take more salty and sweet tastes, as they help to maintain the body liquids. In cold climates one should eat more and take warming foods and spices, spicy tastes and perhaps more sour foods? And in hot climates one should eat less, eat cooling foods, sweet and bitter tastes and regular fasting is ok. What are the advises for a humid climate? Dry foods seem quite suitable, but are there particular tastes that should be favoured more? Perhaps Astringent and Bitter - and perhaps sweet and salty should be avoided, as they collect fluids in the body? And what would be advises for windy climate? I guess more oil, and more heating foods. But sometimes it can be windy and very humid. Or windy, humid and cold, or dry, but extremely cold and windy. I would like to have a discussion on this subject, and get your insights. -- -Ossi Viljakainen Jooga-opettaja, Ayurveda-konsultti +358-9-2316 4300 (home) +358-45-125 5674 (mobile) skype: ossiviljakainen ossi.viljakainen - http://www.ayur-jooga.fi/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
