Favor Cool or warm but not steaming hot foods Bitter, sweet, and astringent tastes As far as practical use less butter and added fat. Consume food with moderately heavy textures. Since Pittas have strong efficient digestion, they can generally eat just about everything. Most Pittas get into trouble by continued use of too much salt, overuse of sour and spicy food and overeating. Take cool, refreshing food in summer.
Salads are good, so is milk and ice cream.
Avoid pickles, yogurt, sour cream, and cheese. Alcoholic and fermented foods should be avoided. Their sour Rasa aggravates Pitta. Coffee is also pitta aggravating due to the acid in coffee. Herb tea is good.
