D years temperate regions of the globe or cold, autumn is the season where nature changes color and flushes. And while the northern hemisphere away more of the sun on the Earth's orbit, the winter is preparing the air, although slight, the sky, though still light, atmosphere, although sweet and pleasant, cool and with it, are changing the needs of our organization.
With the autumnal equinox, one enters a part of the year called " Dakshinayana ", which will last until the spring equinox, where energy "moon", linked to cold and moisture is more prevalent and more powerful . This is a particularly propitious to enhance the physical strength of the body through food and proper exercise.
In autumn, the body accumulates it can still be set aside heat . So, fall is one of the seasons pitta, bile , is the worse. For this reason, foods which balance pitta or pacify are particularly suitable.
flavors that balance this dosha are sweet, bitter and astringent . Autumn is like another offseason, spring, a season of "purification" , where we will search for food rather light, dry and refreshing nature.
Among the food categories, priority:
1. Legumes that will support energy funds through their mineral content and protein, especially the coral entilles, split peas, whole beans including soybeans, the Azuchi, and black lentils (in India, the variety called Urad Dhal).
2. green vegetables, leafy, like most meaty, rich in iron, including eggplant, and cucurbits all : squash, zucchini, pumpkins, pumpkins, fall vegetables par excellence cabbages, cauliflowers , nutritious and rich in calcium.
3. Cereals light and digestible as barley, rice, dry and hot as but the buckwheat , more nutritious as f roment.
4. Fruits , including those that mature at the end of the summer as grapes (excellent for cleansing, toning the blood and restore the fabric feeder, or plasma), grenades (extremely rich and iron used in Ayurveda to balance all of Pitta disorders), the figs (fresh or dried), the dates (ditto), the apples and quince, which used together as a sauce to have excellent virtues on the digestive system for those who suffer from indigestion and / or malabsorption.
5. Dairy , in moderation, including the lightest and astringent, like those made from goat, sheep, or the buttermilk, which will have a tonic effect on the body tissues without increasing its support digestion, and strengthen its immunity. We moderate consumption of yoghurt (acids). The ghee replace as often as possible vegetable oils (see below).
6. Limit or moderate consumption of nuts, almonds, hazelnuts. Sunflower seeds are recommended however, because they are excellent for draining the gallbladder. The heavier oils such as peanut, nuts, Sesame should be avoided: they are used more readily with the arrival of winter weather. Ghee, and sunflower oil or olive oil are known to balance Pitta, and are therefore recommended.
7. Meat constitutes a separate category, because according to the regions, the animal protein needs vary. The Charaka, in his chapter on diet in the autumn, recommends the e mutton, lamb, rabbit, and pigeon. avoided, however the fish or any creature living in water, ponds or near wetlands ...
The staple diet is formed by the association between égumineuses and vegetables, as "dhal" (mashed beans or lentils), combined with vegetables and accompanied by cakes without yeast (or flat bread chapatis). The fruits are eaten cooked preferably . Except grapes, which are excellent to eat before meals, or between, with a hint of fresh grated ginger. Dried fruits are consumed preferably in the morning, or snack. Sweet spices like cardamom has , cinnamon, cloves, ginger, fresh or dried, cumin, caraway, anise And herbs such as basil or bay enter the food preparation. As we enter the winter is the preferred food cooked, hot and a little more consistent.
