To help you gain weight and improve digestion, addressing your digestive fire (agni) is key. In Ayurveda, a sluggish or weak agni can lead to inadequate absorption, causing issues like yours. First, let's focus on boosting your digestive strength with some detailed steps.
Begin by consuming fresh ginger before meals. Chew a small slice of ginger with a few drops of lemon juice and a pinch of rock salt. It stimulates agni, aiding in better digestion of your food. Also, try to keep your meals warm, as cold foods can disturb digestion. Include spices like cumin, coriander and fennel in your cooking, as they are excellent for improving digestion.
Focus on meals that are easy to digest but nutritious. Kichari, made from rice and mung dal, is a good option—it's gentle on the stomach while providing necessary calories and nutrients. Add ghee to your meals, it’s not only nourishing but also enhances your digestive absorption.
Adequate rest is also crucial. Try maintaining a regular sleep schedule, as irregular patterns can weaken agni and metabolism. Engage in light physical activities like yoga or walking to stimulate digestion and increase appetite.
Moreover, incorporate Triphala at night. Mix 1 tsp of Triphala powder with warm water before bed. It's a tridoshic remedy that balances and improves digestion over time.
Stay hydrous; lukewarm water sips during the day can facilitate digestion without quenching the digestive fire. Avoid drinking too much right before, during, or after meals.
It is essential to monitor and tailor your diet to avoid anything that doesn’t sit well with your current digestion, gradually experimenting with added foods to see how your body responds over time.
Finally, if changes do not help, it might be a good idea consulting with a healthcare provider, as consistent dietary issues sometimes may need medical attention.
