Pitta
When we think of the element fire, we typically associate it with literal flames like those from a candle or a bonfire. However, in ayurveda, pitta is used to describe fire not in the physical sense but rather in regards to its spiritual qualities. Pitta dosha, the heat energy in the body, is invisible. It manifests itself in your metabolism.Pitta is always involved the process of breaking down food in the stomach and intestine, as well as when enzymes and hormones are released from endocrine glands into the bloodstream. This also means that everyone has Pitta, which is primarily made up of the fire element.People with Pitta-influenced constitutions love a good challenge, professional or sports-related. Pitta types tend to have an athletic build, and their energy is passionate and intense. They usually have warm hands and feet, even in the middle of winter. Just as they enjoy bitter flavours, Pittas also love sweet things. Emotions like anger or anxiety, high temperatures, drinking too much alcohol, eating red meat, sugar and white flour can disrupt Pitta's equilibrium. To have a balanced Pitta, do sports that match your type, eat correctly for your body, meditate regularly, relax adequately, sleep seven hours or more each night and get away from it all occasionally.
