Sara Jane Ho Instagram – In Ayurveda the timing of dinner is guided by your dosha and the strength of your digestive fire (agni) – and how skinny you are.
Thinner, more Vata-dominant individuals have more air in their constitution and a naturally lighter metabolism, so going to bed with a small, warm, pacifying meal in the stomach helps them sleep better and keeps their energy grounded. If they go to bed hungry, their airy nature becomes aggravated, leading to restlessness or disrupted sleep.
Heavier, more Kapha-dominant individuals digest more slowly, so eating earlier in the evening prevents stagnation, heaviness, and toxin buildup overnight. By adjusting dinner timing to body type, Ayurveda helps each person support their digestion, restore balance, and sleep in harmony with their nature.
Yogi Cameronās suggested recipe for a pacifying snack before sleep (to lose weight and sleep soundly, and yes this can replace dinner) is half a cup of hot milk with ginger, cardamom and nutmeg.
