Winter is characterised by qualities of Kapha and Vata doshas, such as coldness, heaviness, and dryness.

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

Include sweet, sour, and salty tastes to provide warmth and stability.

Eat plenty of cooked, hearty meals, including root vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and warming spices (like cinnamon and cardamom).

Minimise cold, raw, and light foods, as well as excessive intake of sweets and heavy, oily foods, which can increase Kapha and aggravate Vata.
