Autumn is characterized by qualities of Vata dosha, such as dryness, mobility, and coolness.

To balance Vata during autumn, favor grounding, nourishing, and warming foods.

Include sweet, sour, and salty tastes to counteract Vata's dryness.

Eat plenty of cooked, moist foods, like soups, stews, root vegetables, grains (like oats and quinoa), and healthy fats (like ghee and avocado).

Minimise raw, cold, and light foods, as well as excessive intake of dry and rough foods, which can increase Vata.
