It could happen at any time of a year as the skin is exposed to the harmful UV rays of the sun which cause sunburns. When your skin is getting exposed to the sun, it starts producing melanin.

Let’s take a look at how Ayurveda approaches food combining. We also take a look at common incompatible food combinations. There are three factors that make up the properties of food. First is its taste, or rasa. We know that there are six tastes in Ayurveda, and foods can have one or more of these tastes. We also need to determine if a food has either heating or cooling energies, this is known as  virya . This helps us to know if a food is balancing to our personal dosha, and if it is good to eat within the current season as well. And then we also need to consider the effect that the food has on the body after it is digested – or  vipaka . In the western diet, very often foods are served together with different tastes, energies and post-digestive effects. The problem with this is our  agni , the digestive fire, can get overloaded trying to do too many things at the same time. This results in the production of toxins in the body. So it is important for us to pay attention...
