Ah, it sounds like you’re going through a bit of a tricky time with those triglycerides bouncing back up. Let’s see what Ayurveda and some commonsense habits can offer you without derailing your health or causing that weight loss you don’t want.
Alright, first things first, while Ayurveda has lots to offer, always make sure to balance its practices with guidance from modern medicine, especially if things get too intense or risky. You’re already doing those 5km walks and that’s awesome, keep 'em up – it helps burn off those extra lipids. Just don’t overdo it, your body’s still finding its balance.
When it comes to diet, avoid excessive oily and fried foods and try incorporating more whole grains, like barley, which is considered to break down fat so that could help regulate triglycerides. Have it as part of your breakfast maybe? Quinoa is another goodie you might enjoy.
Introduce amla (Indian gooseberry) juice in the morning – has a cleansing effect and may assist in bringing those numbers down. Half a teaspoon of turmeric in warm water can be taken on an empty stomach every morning; it’s a natural cleanser and anti-inflammatory.
For herbs, you can consider adding Arjuna powder as it’s known for heart health benefits. Just a spoonful in warm water after meals could do. Since you’ve had Abana before, continuing with it might support your current regimen as it’s used for managing lipid levels traditionally.
Oh, and make sure your digestion is smooth - Ayurveda teaches that good agni (digestive fire) is super critical. Triphala at night can help maintain that. Watch out for stress too, a bit of pranayama or yoga, like some deep breathing, can go a long way to ease tension, which seems was a factor for you initially.
What you eat is as important as how you eat, so, small and frequent meals might help too.
Remember, take everything slow and listen to your body. If things don’t improve or you feel off, always good to get a check with a healthcare professional. This juggling act is tricky, but you got it!
