There are many Ayurvedic ingredients and ways that have proven to impact our lifestyle in a positive way. From the weight loss journey to glowing skin, ayurveda has the answer to every problem. Incorporating these Ayurvedic lifestyle techniques into your everyday practice helps promote holistic, sustained weight loss and well-being.
Dr. Reji Raj, General Manager and Senior Ayurveda Physician at Amal Tamara, Alleppey shares 10 effective ways in which you can lose weight easily.
Rise with the Sun: Waking up early, preferably before sunrise, synchronises the circadian rhythm, improving metabolism and energy balance
Morning Hydration: Drink a glass of warm water with lemon in the morning to aid digestion and detoxify the body.
Exercise Regularly: Engage in a variety of physical activities, including yoga, running, morning walks, gym exercises, and so on. This diversified programme will burn extra fat while also increasing your metabolism.
Meditation: Daily meditation can help you combat stress and tension, both of which are known contributors of weight gain. The calming effect of meditation helps restore mental peace, indirectly influencing weight management.
Balanced Diet: Plan a well-balanced diet that is under 800 kcal, reducing fat and sugar, and increasing high-fibre, low-calorie foods like green leafy vegetables, fruits, salads, whole grains, and pulses.
Mindful Eating: Mindful eating methods include chewing food fully and savouring each bite, promote digestion and help the body access optimum nutrients.
Abhyanga: Try to include regular abhyanga (self-massage) with heated oil into your routine. This massage promotes weight loss and toxin removal by boosting blood flow and lymphatic drainage.
Herbal Beverages: Include herbal drinks like ginger tea, lemon water, green tea, pepper tea with turmeric, tulsi water, aloe juice, or amla juice in your daily routine. These beverages will aid in digestion and boost metabolism.
Adequate Sleep: Prioritise a full eight hours of undisturbed sleep, since it is critical for general well-being and helps to maintain a healthy weight.
Daily Movement: Avoid a sedentary lifestyle by including frequent movement, such as using the stairs, going for short walks, or stretching when you get a moment to yourself.
