Hello Shaista, I understand how challenging it must be to manage your weight, especially with your condition (SVCAD) and a sedentary lifestyle. In Ayurveda, weight management is not just about dieting but also about balancing the doshas, improving digestion, and enhancing metabolism. Given your health concerns, it would be important to focus on a balanced diet that supports your heart health, such as foods that are light, warm, and nourishing while avoiding heavy, oily, or overly processed foods. Incorporating gentle exercises like walking or yoga could help improve circulation and metabolism without straining your body. Herbs like Triphala, Guggulu, and Turmeric may support weight loss and promote heart health. Have you had any recent tests to assess your cholesterol levels, heart function, or blood sugar? How is your digestion and sleep, as these are crucial for maintaining a healthy weight?

Losing weight, especially with the challenge of SVCAD (Stable Coronary Artery Disease) and a sedentary lifestyle, needs an approach that’s manageable and safe. Ayurveda can support your journey by focusing on balancing doshas, particularly kapha, which plays a role in weight gain when out of balance. Your age suggests that you might naturally have a vata-kapha constitution, making it easier for the body to hold onto weight as metabolism slows down.

To start, focusing on improving your agni (digestive fire) can make a significant difference. Try starting your day with a cup of warm water mixed with lemon juice and a small piece of ginger. This could help stimulate digestion and enhance metabolic processes.

Incorporating gentle movement is important, even with a sedentary lifestyle. Consider pranayama (breathing exercises) such as Kapalabhati or Bhramari, as they can increase circulation and energy without straining your heart. Also, embarking on a daily 15-20 minute walk, perhaps broken into shorter intervals, can awaken the metabolic activity without overwhelming your system.

When it comes to diet, rather than keto, try shifting towards sattvic and easy-to-digest meals. Opt for warm, cooked foods like daal, soups, and lightly spiced grains such as quinoa or millet. Focus on including steamed or sautéed vegetables with a pinch of cumin and turmeric known for their digestive benefits. Avoid snacking frequently and try to have your last meal by early evening to give ample time for digestion before sleep.

Maintain regular meal times, allowing your digestive system to establish a routine. Incorporating a teaspoon of CCF (Cumin, Coriander, and Fennel) water after meals can further support digestion. Mix the spices in equal parts, steep a teaspoon in hot water, strain, and sip post meal.

It’s crucial to manage stress levels, as they can also affects weight management. Following a gentle meditation or yoga nidra practice daily can aid in calming your nervous energy and support weight balance.

As with any lifestyle change, particularly with your health condition, it’s wise to consult with a healthcare provider regularly to monitor your progress and ensure safety with these practices. Always be attentive to any signals that may need urgent medical attention, making health a priority over weight loss.
