The food that we consume in winter also needs to be heavy as well as body warming. So, if we maintain the required Kapha diet, we are likely to get much needed healthy outcomes.
Now, a diet, apart from soothing our stomach, also has a great impact on the body as a whole. the diet we follow has its own effects on our skin, hair, nails and other attributes we adore. so, let us take a look at the various Kapha smoothening food items and the impact they have on us.
Food that gives Warmth
Now that does include the food products that are warm temperature-wise, but there is definitely more to it. Spices that are warm in their core are a good choice for flavoring various dishes. These spices include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, cumin, and coriander. Apart from these, ginger and garlic are also great Kapha pacifiers.
Another variety of these ‘warm’ food items are nuts. Nuts don’t just provide warmth to the body but they also provide the essential natural oils that give the much-needed moisture to the body. This moisture, in turn, helps you to strengthen your Kapha balance in your body. The Kapha dosha is also known for providing the essential lubricants in the joints of the body.

Bell peppers
