Cornflakes
Also called: corn flakes, breakfast cereal
Very light and quick — easy to chew on a busy morning, best with warm milk and a little cinnamon.
How Cornflakes affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Use sparingly | Can raise Vata — go easy when Vata runs high. |
| Pitta | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Pitta. |
| Kapha | Use sparingly | Can raise Kapha — go easy when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Dry, airy and cold (with cold milk); the dryness can leave Vata unsettled, and the refined-corn sugars still feed Kapha.
