As described in the Veda’s, we are shown these three qualities called Gunas.
Let’s look at them wholistically.
Tamasic can be described as slowing, suppressing.
Rajasic energy is stimulating, activating.
Sattvic is purifying, uplifting.

Wheat, corn, soy are to be avoided.
One’s dosha is considered in food choices.
For a easily understood foundation to these principles and practices see;
Ayurveda The Science of Self Healing by Vasant Lad
