The classification of Dosha is based on eyes visibility, blood pressure, body type, even sleep needs. I swear this diet is not about digestion so much as palatial shaping!!! All the things make so much sense. This kind of diet (for Vata) seems to help with a highly arched palate. I know this seems a stretch and Stephen Lin (Dental Diet) May weigh in. I’ll have to check out his book. However, this tread is all about textures for widening the palate. I mean... have you ever accidentally bit into a fork? That’s a lot of pressure. If Mike Mew is pushing his Dad’s agenda to adults and it appears to modify bone shape...why not be able to change out palates with foods we choose? DNA is widening palates. Here at my thoughts on an airway textured diet (widen and advance).
