Fruits for breakfast is not a good idea, Why ? #1 Mornings are cold, dewy, and moist Fruits are cold, moist, and slimy as well. Similarly, what is cold, moist, and slimy in our body? Kapha! #2 Fruits are sweet, heavy and cold. What is sweet, heavy and cold in our body? Kapha! #3 6am to 10am is Kapha Kala This is the time Kapha is at its peak – think excessive mucous, blocked nose, runny nose, and all upper respiratory tract symptoms. #4 The Sun has just risen Our digestive fire mimics the Sun; however, we do not have sharp digestion in the mornings. Hence we may not be able to digest cold, sweet, heavy foods at this time. what is a good breakfast? Anything warm, light and freshly cooked. Example, oatmeal, porridges, rice or chickpea flour, pancakes, stewed apples, green gram pancakes etc. These are not only light but also easy to digest. When is the best time to have fruits? Between 10am to 4pm (Pitta Kala) before or after a meal, but not with a meal. Trust me, if you do this, your gut will thank you!
