CAPRICORNS & DIET

Capricorn Rules : bones, joints, knees, and teeth. Capricorns are known for their beautiful bone structure .

Health Habits: Along with Leo and Sagittarius, Capricorn is noted for its longevity. Capricorn's bones, joints, and knees, however, may be vulnerable to rheumatism, arthritis, neuralgia, stiff joints, and orthopedic problems.

Capricorn's ruling planet Saturn holds sway over the gall bladder, spleen, bones, skin, and teeth. Their skin may tend to be dry and sensitive. Capricorns tend to have trouble with alcohol consumption.They tend to do things in excess, they overwork, skip meals, then eat too much at one time.

Capricorn's cell salt is calcium phosphate, which is the most important element in bone formation.

Eat : Lack of calcium phosphate can cause rickets, misshapen bones, spinal curvature, teeth disorders, and pains in the joints. Foods which are rich in this mineral are oranges, lemons, figs, celery, cabbage, dandelion greens, spinach, broccoli, corn, peas, potatoes, walnuts, almonds, whole wheat, oats, and brown rice. A diet high in protein and calcium is a must for Capricorn in order to keep the bones, skin and teeth in prime condition. Capricorns should include a fresh raw salad, fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein, fish, eggs, whole-grain breads in their diet every day. They need lots of calcium food, such as cheese, buttermilk, yogurt.

Don't Eat : They should try to vary their diet with different vegetables, fruit, meat and fish, as Capricorns tend to get into a rut about food likes and dislikes, and often eat the -same things every day. Eating chocolate and refined sugar is bad for Capricorn's skin.They should go easy on the highly seasoned and spicy food you are fond of, as it causes intestinal upsets.

CAPRICORN IS AN EARTH SIGN.

The earth element rules the skeletal and eliminatory systems. The earth element is essential for growth, reproduction and repair of tissue. Earth signs tend toward weight problems, tumor growth or glandular disorders . Overeating and a diet of heavy foods create excess earth, which is aggravated by lack of exercise and sedentary habits. They often have beautiful strong teeth.

The earth signs have strong sense impressions and thrive on contact with the earth. Theirs is a strength of endurance and persistence. They are more resistant to transient colds and flu than fire or air signs.

Excess Earth

Excess earth is prone to heaviness in the body and sluggishness in the system, and the struggle to overcome inertia. Their digestion and metabolism are slow, increasing density of body tissue—i.e. thick skin, sclerosis, calcium deposits, tumors and increased body hair.

Low Earth

Low earth needs grounding. These people tend to ignore their bodies and are not instinctive about what they need. They need routines that stabilize them and give a sense of security. They need more sleep than other elements, and benefit from physical contact with the earth.
