How They Benefit You:
Detox Support: Spring greens, asparagus, and artichokes support liver detox after winter stagnation.
Light and Energizing: These foods are low in calories but high in nutrients, helping to reduce Kapha's heaviness and boost metabolism.
Digestive Stimulation: Bitter and astringent foods, such as radishes and leafy greens, help clear mucus and excess water retention.
Immunity Boost: Citrus fruits and strawberries provide vitamin C and antioxidants to enhance immune function.
Kapha dosha is predominant in late winter and early spring, bringing heavy, moist, and cool qualities. The focus should be on light, warming, and stimulating foods that encourage detoxification and energize the body.
