In Ayurved, solutions for all body problems depend on three elements - Vata(air), Pitta(fire) & Kapha(Earth). If any one of them gets imbalanced in our body, then we face diseases related to that element. That's why it is very important to know our body type. Here "dominant" means that particular element is little more compared to other elements. So we should add those food items in our daily diet which can control the dominance of that element to balance Vata, Pitta & Kapha. As per Ayurved, dominance of Kapha is more during 6am to 10 am & 6pm to 10pm in our body. Normally during childhood (age 0 to 14) Kapha dominance is more in our body.

Role of Kapha in our body :It acts as a lubricant for our joints, produces cerebrospinal fluid, gives lusture to our body. It joins our muscular and skeletal system together. It gives protection to our cells.
