To help manage type 2 diabetes, the Kapha-balancing diet should include the following:

• Eating food sources that are light, dry, and warm and keeping away from food varieties that are slick, cold, and weighty.

• Milk products aggravate Kapha Dosha, so avoiding or reducing their consumption is preferable. You can eat low-fat milk products. Ghee helps to strengthen the digestive fire, so use it sparingly.

• More beans and legumes are needed in the Kapha diet. Moong beans, in particular, are highly beneficial to people with diabetes.

• Wheat and rice are heavy and hard to break down. You can eat light grains like corn and millet.

• Spices are beneficial to Kapha dosha and should be used in cooking. The diet must include pepper, mustard, garlic, and ginger.

• Ginger tea helps with digestion. However, salt should either be avoided or consumed in moderation.

• Meats should be avoided because they may cause inflammation, according to Ayurveda.

• Consuming warm food is necessary for blood sugar control in the diet. Warm water should be drunk by patients.

• Diabetes management is more accessible by eating bitter foods. A vital vegetable that should be consumed is the bitter gourd. Another essential spice that should be included in the diet is turmeric.

• Fried foods, tuber vegetables, soft drinks, mangoes, custard apples, dates, and bananas should all be avoided.
