Lord Krishna On What Body Type Likes What Food

Succulent, satisfying, soft foods
Enhancing life, health, strength, and happiness
Are the foods that satvic – the pure – people like.

Bitter, hot, pungent, dry, sour and salty foods
Giving grief, pain and disease
Are the foods that rajasic – the passionate – people like.

Tasteless, stale, putrid, impure and rotten foods
Are the foods that tamasic – the foul- people like.

~Bhagavad Gita 17: 8-10

PS: Original in Sanskrit. This is my translation. More to come on body types and their attributes as in Bhagavad Gita, the holy text of Hindus supposed to be enunciated by Lord Krishna.
