What Is My Activity Level and How Can Ayurveda Help Me Maintain the Right Balance for Better Health? - #16052

Lately, I have been wondering whether my activity level is actually right for my body’s needs. I spend most of my day sitting at a desk, and while I try to exercise a few times a week, I sometimes feel fatigued or restless. I started researching how different levels of physical activity impact health, but I am still unsure if my activity level is ideal for my body type and long-term well-being. From what I understand, both too little and too much activity can have negative effects. But how do I determine if my activity is balanced? Can signs like constant tiredness, muscle stiffness, or frequent illnesses indicate that I need to adjust my activity level? I have recently come across Ayurvedic recommendations for movement and exercise based on doshas. Ayurveda suggests that Vata types should do gentle, grounding activities, while Pitta types should focus on cooling and moderate exercise, and Kapha types benefit from vigorous movement. But how do I figure out which category my activity level should fall into? I also wonder if Ayurveda has specific herbal or dietary recommendations to support my activity level. Are there foods or herbs that boost energy and endurance naturally? I have heard about Ashwagandha and Shatavari being beneficial for stamina—would these help balance my activity needs? Another thing I am curious about is whether sleep and hydration play a role in determining the right activity level. Can poor hydration or irregular sleep patterns make even moderate physical activity feel exhausting? If anyone has used Ayurvedic methods to adjust my activity level and felt noticeable improvements in energy, focus, or overall health, I would love to hear their experiences. I want to ensure that my activity is helping my body rather than overburdening it or slowing it down.
