Gaining weight can be quite challenging for some individuals, especially when your natural metabolism is high or when you might have an imbalance in your doshas. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it sounds like vata dosha might be predominant in your prakriti, contributing to your leaner frame and high metabolism. Often, vata types are naturally thin, and gaining weight can require a bit more effort and focused strategies.
First, eating ‘a lot’ might not be enough if it’s not directed towards the right type of nourishing foods. Include more grounding and warming foods in your diet. For instance, use whole grains like brown rice or quinoa and add healthy fats such as ghee and coconut oil. Nuts should be a staple, almonds, walnuts, and seeds like sesame should be in your pack to snack on. These foods can help balance vata, providing the body with plenty of nutrition for the tissues (dhatus) to build upon.
Proteins play a key role too, so consider consuming dairy, like milk and cheese if you tolerate them well. Lentils and legumes can also provide energy needed for growth. Try a warm milk with turmeric or ashwagandha powder at night; it nourishes and might help in building a more robust body frame.
Lifestyle changes are important as well, avoid cold and dry environments as they’re not favourable for vata types. Regular oil massages with sesame oil can help promote circulation and nourish the skin, encouraging fat tissue development.
Focus on a balanced daily routine (dinacharya) to maintain consistency, as this will optimize your agni, or digestive fire. Make sure not to skip meals and maintain regular sleeping patterns. Adequate rest allows your body to regenerate properly and supports healthy weight gain.
If despite these changes, you continue not see any improvement or feel unwell, it can be helpful to consult directly with an Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare provider. They can help you identify any underlying conditions and develop a personalized plan. Remember, achieving changes in body compositions naturally takes time and patience.
