In the process of optimizing digestion, the heavier foods should be consumed at the beginning of a meal. Foods easier to digest should come at the end. The agni is at its best when there is still no food, therefore that would be an ideal for digesting the more complex and heavier foods – that comprises sweet food milk products mithai or sweetmeat, wheat, yoghurt etc. This should be followed by lighter food or food that is easy to assimilate.
Summer is a season where the heat and thirst depletes the Agni. Light food is the order of the day.
Winter season has a strong agni, where heavy food is easily digestible. Volumes and quality of food is thus decided by these factors. Sequence of food consumption is therefore decided on these lines.
