These types of individuals will have a tall height or a short height, not an average one. They are thin and light. Also, they have delicate body parts. These types of individuals face difficulty in gaining weight. However, they are energetic and have a vibrant nature. The best part about these kinds of people is that they are active; they can not sit in one place for a long time. They love to do exercise, running, dancing, and yoga. They learn things quickly, and their mood changes swiftly. These are the characteristics and qualities of a vata-based body. By knowing about all this, one can easily identify the body type of the person. 

 

Kapha Body Type: 

Another  Ayurvedic body type is the Kapha body type. These types of individuals have a strong body frame. A fair complexion and smooth, oily skin are the features of such people. One thing they need to be careful about is that they can easily gain weight. Their eyes are large and their hair thick. They are very calm and easygoing, and also have a good memory. The face of the person will be round in shape, and their feet and hands tend to be wider. In fact, these types of people have bigger lips in comparison with the other two types of bodies.

Pitta Body Type: 

Pitta body types of individuals have normal builds. The bones are thoroughly covered with the muscles; therefore, there is no chance of cracked bones at all. Their eyes are too intense, and their way of looking at others is as well. They have a reddish skin which is also moist. Even their complexion is also reddish, neither fair nor dark. People of the vata body type have both fire and water elements in them. The nose, chin, and teeth tend to be sharp in shape.
