Weight gain during menopause can indeed be a challenge, particularly with a Pitta Vata dosha mix. The Ayurvedic approach involves balancing your dosha while also addressing agni (digestive fire), which can slow down during this phase. You're already on Ashwagandha, Triphala, and Shatavari, which is great. They’re supportive for balancing hormones and managing stress, but let's refine the approach to target weight.
First, pay attention to your meals. Eat lighter, warm, and easily digestible foods. Soups, stews, and cooked vegetables like zucchini, pumpkin, and carrots can be nourishing without being too heavy. Avoid very spicy or hot foods that can irritate Pitta. Keep meals consistent, same times each day, as Vata benefits from routine. A bit of fresh ginger tea before meals could also stimulate your digestive fire.
For exercise, remain active but don’t overdo it. Vata should steer clear of exhaustive activity. Prefer gentle forms, like walking, yoga, or swimming, even dance if you enjoy it, ideally 30 minutes most days. Consistency matter more than intensity here.
Also, be mindful of your sleep and stress. Vata needs stability, so maintaining a regular sleep schedule, with calming activities like mediation or reading before bed, is crucial. Meditation can also help in balancing both your doshas – try ten minutes of mindfulness practice daily.
Another important aspect is paying attention to metabolism. You might find it helpful to start your day with a glass of warm water and lemon, aiding digestion and cleansing. Also, sipping hot water throughout the day can be beneficial.
Don't forget to give yourself some grace, as the body is going through a natural transition—patience is key. Lastly, cuddn't hurt to consult your healthcare provider, especially if weight gain persists, just to rule out any underlying issues.
