Ayurveda and Aging 10.1

Physical Characteristics:
Those with a predominance of Vata dosha
usually have a thin, light frame and
excellent agility. Their energy comes in
bursts and they are likely to experience
sudden bouts of fatigue. Vatas typically have
dry skin and hair and cold hands and feet.
They sleep lightly and their digestion can
be sensitive. When the Vata dosha becomes
imbalanced, it manifests in the body as
weight loss, constipation, hypertension,
arthritis, weakness, restlessness, and
digestive challenges.
