What to eat and what not to eat in the spring season according to Ayurveda

Spring is one of the six seasons of North India and neighboring countries, which spreads its beauty in this region between February, March and April. In this season, we should eat a lot of leftovers, otherwise there is an adverse effect on health. Consumption of sweets, dry fruits, sour sweet fruits, curd, ice cream and heavy food is prohibited in this season. At the beginning of spring, the coolness starts decreasing and the heat of the sun starts increasing. According to Ayurveda, during this time the Kapha dosha starts increasing, due to which the fire element starts decreasing in this season and the problem of not being able to digest properly increases. If you are struggling with the problem of indigestion in this season, then do not worry. To stay healthy and full of energy in this season, we should take special care of our food and drink.

According to the predominance of doshas in our body at the time of birth, according to the nature of seven types of doshas have been described in Ayurveda – Vata Pitta, Pitta Kapha, Kapha Vata, Sannipataj (Vata Pitta Kapha is present in equal quantity), Vataja, Pittaja, Kaphaja. These doshas keep changing in every season. Ritucharya has been described to keep these two even. According to the Ritucharya, it is told that in which season one should live and eat, so that one can remain healthy and avoid the defects and diseases that increase in that season. In Ayurveda, 6 seasons have been described and according to them diet and behavior have also been told. By taking care of them, women can remain healthy and full of energy.

To maintain good digestion power in the spring season, one should eat it thoughtfully. Overeating should be avoided in this season. Eat when you are hungry. According to Ayurveda, sweet, sour, too salty or oily food should not be eaten in the spring, as they increase the kapha dosha. Heavy food like urad dal, puri-kachori should not be taken in this season. One should not sleep during the day as there is a possibility of increasing Kapha dosha. Do not use curd when cholesterol is increased because curd has an ayurvedic special quality ‘Abhishyanda’. Abhishyanda guna/karma creates blockage in the channels of the body, arteries etc. Whether to eat curd when menstruation comes, know whether it is true or myth. According to Ayurveda, taking special care of food during this season can prevent Kapha Dost from growing. In this season, it is good to take things with strong juice like bitter gourd, parwal, things with bitter juice like soup etc. In this season, eat light food, which is easy to digest such as moong dal, khichdi, porridge etc. Apart from this, vegetables like gourd, cabbage, carrot, spinach, peas containing nutritious elements should also be included in your diet. If honey and lukewarm water are consumed during this season, then it can also prevent the increase of Kapha dosha and gives relief in cold and cough.
