How knowing body constitution can prevent diseases

            Ayurveda explains different body constitutions for different individuals. There are mainly 7 body constitutions depending on the three doshas (i.e vata ,pitha and kapha). out of these there are three main body constitutions 1. vataja 2. pithaja 3. kaphaja

          Now the question arises about the link between body constitution and diseases. Each body constitution has specific physical and mental attributes, hence making the individual more prone to diseases. e.g vataja constitution are prone to lose weight, have rough skin, are temperamental etc.
they are also prone to diseases such as backache, body aches, sciatica, etc.
       
          Similarly an individual having pitha constitution will suffer more frequently from migraines, gastritis, skin disorders, bleeding piles to name a few. An Individual with kapha constitution is prone to weight gain, will suffer easily from hypercholestraemia,thyroid disorders, gall stones etc.
         
          Hence following a good diet plan and activity according to body constitution  is required to prevent most of these diseases.
