What you should eat according to your star sign?

Who knew the sun, stars, and planetary placements could determine how your diet should be? 😯 When it comes to eating, each zodiac sign is unique. We all have different personalities around food. Being a grab-and-go sort of gal or a gourmand at heart might just have more to do with the astrological house you were born in than the actual one in which you were raised. 🌑

From perfect relationships to career advice and health, you may or may not be a strong believer of zodiac signs, but I’m sure you’re a curious cookie from time to time. 🤔 As weird as it may be, there actually is a thing like eating as per your astrological sign, and while metaphysical meal preps aren’t intended to address gut-health issues, it can help bring more harmony into your diet.

The 12 zodiac signs are split into these 4 elements: fire 🔥, water 🌊, air 🌬, and earth ğŸŒ. There is actually a correspondence between the 12 signs and the 12 essential vital minerals of Schussler. Based on that, you will find out what you should eat and what you could avoid. I have researched quite a bit on this topic, below is a compilation. ğŸ¤-

Fire Signs: Don’t Burn Yourself Out

ARIES

As a fire sign, you probably like hot and spicy foods 🔥 -which is great, provided you listen to your body and don’t overdo it. Your body has cycles, and it will take to the hot foods on some days better than others. Don’t push yourself-and don’t eat too fast! Aries are spontaneous and like to be busy, and you may overlook your nutrition or bolt down your food in a hurry, which will only lead to indigestion. 🤕 Staying active usually isn’t a problem for you, but you do get bored easily, so vary both your diet and your activities. Use alcohol sparingly; it’s not always agreeable with your fiery nature.

• Eat: Brown rice, bananas, fruit juices, olives, tomatoes, onions, lettuce, cauliflower, cucumbers, spinach, radishes, broccoli, beans, lentils, pumpkin, walnuts, figs, dried apricots, garlic, and mustard
• Avoid: Spicy food, salt, and alcohol
