According to Ayurveda, our body has energy center & three principle energies circulate in our body. They are known as doshas.

Tri-doshas are - 

1) Vata

2) Pitta

3) Kapha

Any disease can be prevented if our doshas are in balance. If our dosha goes out of balance then it can lead to an accumulation of toxins in our bodies. 

The doshas govern all physical, mental, & emotional processes. Every individual has a unique combination of these elements. 

#vata time (2am-6am & 2pm-6pm)
Vata means transition. It is the best time for creative work, ideas, problem-solving. 
2am-6pm is the best time to do meditation, prayer, yoga, & other spiritual practices.

#pitta time (10am-2pm & 10pm-2am)
It refers to Agni or digestive fire which is strongest at this time (10am-2pm). So, have the heaviest meal of the day at this time as our digestive fire is strongest in the afternoon. Make sure you eat your lunch before 2 pm. 
But, at night (10pm-2am) avoid eating, as it’s the time when our body is busy digesting the food we ate throughout the day. Try to sleep by 10 pm or max by 11 pm as you might end up munching on something at this time.

#kapha time (6am-10am & 6pm-10pm)
The best time to wake up before 6 am, as kapha becomes dominant at 6 am. Kapha is heavy and sluggish. So if you wake up during this period, then you’ll probably feel very heavy & won’t feel like waking up. It’s the best time to exercise to get your heart pumping & give an energetic start to your day. Have a light breakfast with some spices added to your meal. Light breakfast because Kapha will make you feel heavy.
