We are now in Hemanta. From November 14th to January 14th is the BEST time of the year. For the next three months, food wise, anything goes! The purpose of Hemanta is to build up good Kapha. Kapha is stability, strength, and gives you structure. This season also coincides with the Thanksgiving and various December holiday festivities so you want that turkey, go ahead, pumpkin pie, sure why not, extra dollop of whip cream go for it! But be careful, everything in moderation:
You should eat foods that are cooling and pacifies Pitta, Vatta will be undisturbed, Kapha will build up but in a healthy manner and your Agni is good. All in all this is the season where all three doshas are balanced. Foods that are sweet, sour and salty are best. Things like meats and figs are recommended as well as sugar and eating a healthy dose of nuts. To aid in your digestion, warm water is best as it opens up the channels and allows for all the sweet, salty & sour nutrition from the foods into your system and nourishes your dahtus.
For your lifestyle, exercise is recommended along with plenty of sex. Want a baby? Now's the time. Extra oiling of the body is recommended to keep the joints in the body working smoothly and skin looking supple. And warm clothing is also recommended.
