Sweet is cold in nature. Sweet = earth + water (both elements are cold)
Both Sour (Earth + fire) and Salty (Fire + Water) are Hot,
Spicy (Fire + Wind) is Hot
Bitter (Wind + Space) and Astringent(Wind + Earth) are cold, Because of the lightness of astringent it helps with the heaviness of Cold disorders, even though its nature is cold. It has a lightening effect.
Large quantities of light food should be considered as heavy, small amounts of heavy food can be considered as light.
How to balance conditions by avoiding tastes:
To balance Wind: avoid Astringent (avocado , raw banana, black tea.), and Bitter.
To balance Hot: avoid Hot taste, spicy taste, and sour taste.
To balance Cold: avoid Astringent Bitter and Sweet tastes …show more content…
If it is a light and liquid/thin oil than it will have a warming effect on the body. From a physiological point of view, this is primarily due to the nature of Sterols in the cell membranes which close off the cell to the outside world (hard,heavy, solid oils). Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) open the cell membrane up to the outside world around it (in the case of soft, light, liquid oils). Those foods which contain these types of oils often have similar effect on the body .
Energetics are also effected by quantity. In general lots of oil is hotter, less oil is cooler.
In the same way, lots of quantity is heavier, and less quantity is lighter.
A large quantity of a light food can be considered heavy.
To balance Wind: Moderate seeds/nuts, Molasses, Asparagus, beets, broccoli,corn, carrots, fennel, Green beans, leeks, onions, peas, radish, red cabbage, seaweed, sweet potatoes, turnip, yam, zucchini.
Less sex(if applicable) and get sound and regular sleep.
