At 63 years being extremely health conscious and dosha aware with no regular medicines is a strong positive foundation Slow peristalsis and long standing constipation without discomfort usually indicate age related dryness and reduced gut tone with mild vata influence even when digestion feels otherwise normal Daily water intake of one to two liters is on the lower side so gradually increasing warm fluids through the day will support bowel regularity and nerve nourishment in a gentle way

Food should emphasize warmth softness and natural lubrication Begin the day with warm water Avoid very cold foods and drinks especially in the morning Smoothies are fine occasionally but frequent raw cold foods can slow bowel movement Prefer cooked breakfast options such as soft grains stewed fruits or lightly cooked vegetables Amalaki powder twice a week is acceptable when balanced with warm foods Lunch should be the main meal with well cooked vegetables whole grains and healthy fats such as ghee olive oil or sesame oil Evening meals should be light and early Regular use of soaked raisins figs or dates and soaked flaxseed or chia seeds support bowel rhythm and nerve health Limit excess coffee and very dry foods as they increase dryness in the gut and nerves

For plantar neuropathy even after resolution of tarsal tunnel continued nerve care is important Daily warm oil massage to the feet gentle ankle and toe movements and regular walking support circulation and nerve comfort

Ayurvedic medicines can be used gently if needed Triphala powder at night with warm water or warm milk supports regular bowel movement without habit formation Ashwagandha powder at night with warm milk supports nerve strength if digestion tolerates it

Consistency with routine warm nourishing foods adequate hydration and daily movement is the key for long term bowel regularity and nerve health
