Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. A person has a balance of the three doshas, with one being prominent. Doshas control activities of the body.
2. Fire and water are the pitta dosha elements that control hormones and the digestive system, not mental capacities.
3. Space and air are the vata dosha elements that control body processes of cell division, the heart, breathing, and the mind. While any dosha can be reformed by food, space and air do not control nutritional preferences.
4. Water and earth are the kapha dosha elements regulating strength, immunity, and growth, not hormonal balance.
