on amazake, but they decided to withdraw from the deal, so<br />
he went ahead <strong>and</strong> did it on his own.<br />

About the authors (autobiographical).<br />
The three Vatas (tridosha, three doshas, constitutional<br />
or body types) are Vata (pure air, head/wisdom), Pitta (pure<br />
fi re, action), <strong>and</strong> Kapha (pure water, love/heart). Tridoshic<br />
foods or herbs are suited to all 3 constitutions; these include<br />
ghee, basmati rice, <strong>and</strong> asparagus. Concerning <strong>soy</strong>a: “Many<br />
Vatas h<strong>and</strong>le certain well-spiced <strong>soy</strong> products well, like t<strong>of</strong>u<br />
or liquid <strong>soy</strong> <strong>milk</strong>. Some do not. Let your gut be your guide.<br />
Dairy is very calming to Vata, especially when it is warm”<br />
(p. 14).<br />
“Pittas are <strong>of</strong>ten attracted to high-protein foods, <strong>and</strong> do<br />
seem to need a little more protein than <strong>other</strong> constitutions.<br />
Goat <strong>milk</strong>, cow <strong>milk</strong>, egg white souffl es, t<strong>of</strong>u, tempeh,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the aforementioned cottage cheese are all effective in<br />
balancing Pitta. Most beans–with the exception <strong>of</strong> heating<br />
lentils–are excellent” (p. 16).<br />
Anything which stimulates elimination tends to relieve<br />
Kapha (barley <strong>and</strong> beans being classic examples). Aduki<br />
beans are especially good, as are black turtle beans, though<br />
the latter are more diffi cult to digest. Soy beans <strong>and</strong> <strong>soy</strong>
