Hey, I hear you’ve been avoiding meds for 15 years and cutting out a lotta things from your diet. That takes some serious dedication, but it sounds like it’s making you feel weak. It’s essential to address this seriously 'cause our bodies need the right balanced thingys to function well.
In Ayurveda, maybe there’s a dosha imbalance at play here. You might want to consider working on balancing your Agni, or digestive fire. Agni is super crucial for absorbing nutrients properly. The first thing to focus on is slowly reintroducing foods that support and strengthen your Agni and overall health. Start with easily digestible foods, like cooked veggies, rice, lentils, and lean proteins. Fresh ginger tea before meals can also stimulate Agni.
Have you thought about incorporating some Ashwagandha or Chyawanprash? Both are known to improve strength and immunity. Ashwagandha is this fantastic adaptogen that helps your body handle stress better while Chyawanprash is like this ancient herbal jam full of vitamins and minerals.
Oh, and remember to chew your food well to aid digestion. Eating in a relaxed environment and at regular intervals helps too!
If you’re skipping essential nutrients, considering getting a blood test to check for deficiencies might be a smart move. Ayurveda encourages looking deeply into what’s missing. Supplemental vitamins or minerals might be beneficial.
Yoga or Pranayama (controlled breathing exercises) can boost Prana, life energy, helping increase your vitality, if you aren’t doing them already. Maybe a simple sun salutation routine to gently wake up your system.
But hey, don’t forget to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner, 'specially before making significant shifts, to ensure you’re getting the support you need while keeping in line with your constitution. And hey, if things don’t improve, getting some modern medical advice wouldn’t hurt, just to be safe. Life’s too short to feel weak, you know?
