There are mainly three types of Prakriti  (Physical constitutions of human body):

1. Vata

2. Pitta

3. Kapha

In addition many of us have dual qualities or even signs of all the three Doshas. These combined doshas are:

1. Vata Kapha

2. Pitta Kapha

3. Kapha Vata

4. Pitta Vata

5. Kapha Pitta

6. Vata Pitta

7. Tridosha

Single Dosha constitutions are easy to manage. But Tridosha constitutions are more challenging to manage in terms of maintaining fixed routines and single herb practices. However, by following specific daily and seasonal routines and practicing some common herbs in our daily life, one can maintain a healthy life.

In order to keep the Tridoshas in a state of healthy equlibrium and digestion & metabolism (prime agni) in proper order, Ayurveda prescribes for each individual a specific daily routine  - 

dina – day & 
acharya – behaviour  

In most of the above mentioned Prakritis and most of the seasons, following daily routines us proved to be a healthy routine:

Morning rise:  Before 7 am. Stretch yourself ( head, arms and legs and middle boy) for 10 minutes after getting up from bed.

Breakfast:      Before 9.30 am / full of proteins (heavy in calories)

Lunch: Before 12 noon (light in calories and must not fill the stomach. Must take 10 minutes to rest and the 15 minutes to walk after lunch)

Afternoon munch: Between 3 to 3.30 pm (must have little carbs with tea, coffee or hot milk, hot cider, etc. – Herbal teas are most recommended.)

Evening supper / dinner:  Before 6.30 pm (A balanced diet including vitamins, carbs and proteins. Must walk leisurely for at least 30 -40 minutes after dinner / supper).

Good night time: Before 10 pm

In a normal scenario, with any kind of body constitution, the above routine helps to maintain a healthy living.***
