A heavy diet is recommended for children, whereas a light diet is recommended for adults. After eating lunch or dinner, there should be some space in the stomach to allow for proper digestion. Diet is critical to our development. According to our Prakriti, it should be consumed wisely (constitution). Ayurveda contains detailed dietary guidelines.
