One should eat wisely to kindle the digestion and encourage tissue development:

Consume boiled water as per individual requirement.  Coriander seeds or Cumin seeds can also be used to flavor the water.

Consume sweets in the early part of the meal (to balance the Vata), to be followed by sour and salt items (to stimulate proper Pitta), backed up by foods with pungent, bitter and astringent tastes (to subdue Kapha).

Suggested vegetables: Parwal / Pointed gourd, Bottle gourd, Bitter gourd and Ash gourd – all of which are strongly recommended to be included in your diet as they are sweet and light on your digestive system.
