How-to loose belly fat and loose weight - #24677

Shah Hanan

"Hello Doctor, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share a few health details before our consultation today. I am 20 years old, my height is 165 cm, and my weight is 72 kg. I have a lot of belly fat, and I want to reduce it — at least enough so that the bulge is not visible anymore. Please suggest some effective exercises and Ayurvedic medicines that can help me get faster results. Also, I have been taking Triphala Churna (half a spoon) at night before sleeping for the past one month."

Your BMI is around 26.5, which falls in the overweight category. Effective Exercises for Belly Fat Reduction Do at least 30–45 minutes of exercise daily, with a mix of cardio + core-strengthening workouts. ✅ Cardio (burn fat) – do 5 days/week Brisk walking (30–40 mins) or jogging Skipping rope (start with 100 skips, increase gradually) Dancing or Zumba Cycling or swimming ✅ Core & Strength Workouts (3–4 days/week) These tighten abdominal muscles and reduce the bulge: Plank (start with 20–30 seconds, increase to 1 minute) Mountain climbers (3 sets of 15) Leg raises (3 sets of 10) Russian twists Bicycle crunches Surya Namaskar – 5 to 12 rounds daily (excellent for fat reduction + digestion) Continue Triphala Churna Half to one teaspoon at night with lukewarm water is ideal. You can increase to 1 tsp if digestion is okay. 🌿 Add the following Ayurvedic medicines (with caution): 1. Vrikshamla (Garcinia Cambogia) – 500 mg capsule, twice a day before meals. Helps suppress appetite and supports fat breakdown. 2. Guggul (Medohar Guggulu or Triphala Guggulu) – Take 2 tablets, twice a day after food with lukewarm water. Helps in reducing fat, especially from the abdomen. 3. Punarnava Mandur – 1 tablet twice a day with water. Reduces water retention and improves metabolism. 4. Jeera + Ajwain + Saunf Water Boil 1 tsp of each in 2 cups of water, reduce to 1 cup. Sip this in the morning on an empty stomach.

Reducing belly fat effectively involves addressing both diet and lifestyle choices, along with tailored Ayurvedic practices. Your current BMI can benefit from a few adjustments. First, continuing with Triphala Churna is a good step, as it aids digestion and acts as a mild laxative, though you might want to increase to a full teaspoon if you don't experience any discomfort. For exercise, focus on a balanced mix of cardio and strength training. Brisk walking, cycling, or swimming for at least 30 minutes a day will boost metabolism. Incorporate planks and exercises targeting the core like leg raises or Russian twists to specifically tone the abdominal region. It’s less about intensity initially and more about consistency, so make sure you do this regularly. In terms of diet, sip on warm water throughout the day to help ignite your digestive fire (Agni). Add spices like ginger, black pepper, or turmeric which can assist with metabolism. Eating fresh fruits like papaya or sprouting grains can be quite beneficial. Avoid foods high in sugar, fried items, and processed foods, as they can further imbalance your Kapha dosha, which is often linked to weight gain and sluggish metabolism. Ayurvedic formulations such as Guggul can support weight loss, with their fat-burning properties. Consult with a practitioner before starting, to ensure it's suited for your constitution. Focus on eating at the same time every day and include all six tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, astringent) in your meals, but keep the sweet and salty flavors to a minimum. Rest is also crucial; ensure you're getting 7-8 hours of sound sleep. Minimize stress by practicing calming techniques such as meditation or pranayama. Stress and lack of sleep can contribute to weight gain around the belly area by causing an imbalance in your body's cortisol levels. Finally, always listen to your body and make adjustments as needed. It's important that any regimen you follow needs monitoring and evaluatuion to see how your body responds. If at any point you experience discomfort or persistant issues, consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to make personalized adjustments.
