Pitta people are often quite strong with a good appetite. Pittas need to eat regular meals, as when they are hungry they can be irritable or hypoglycaemic. They have logical minds and love to learn, organise and lead. Pitta people enjoy competition and success. Although they love a challenge, they can drive themselves too hard in their pursuit of perfection. Pittas are often too warm and need to keep cool. They perspire more than most and need to wear absorbent, natural fibres. They tend towards inflammatory conditions, acid indigestion and sore throats. They can get angry easily, but it is soon forgotten.
