Lemonade
Also called: lemon squash, limonade
Sweet-tart and cooling — refreshing in the heat.
How Lemonade 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 | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Vata. |
| Pitta | Use sparingly | Can raise Pitta — go easy when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Use sparingly | Can raise Kapha — go easy when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Added sugar leans to Kapha and the sourness tells on Pitta.
Cautions
- High Sugar
Practical flag: typically high in added sugar; fresh homemade is preferable to soft-drink versions.
