Vitamin D deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, and internal inflammation are interconnected issues that can arise due to various lifestyle and dietary factors. In Ayurveda, correcting these imbalances begin with understanding your body’s constitution and promoting balance through the right diet, lifestyle, and natural supplements.
For Vitamin D, devote time to get natural sunlight exposure. Aim for at least 15-20 minutes early morning sunlight daily. From dietary side, incorporate foods like cow’s ghee, fortified milk, and fish if your diet allows.
To address Vitamin B12 deficiency, kapha pacifying diets can be helpful. Include naturally B12-rich foods like dairy products, fermented foods such as paneer, and occasional intake of animal products if applicable. If you’re vegetarian or find it difficult to adjust your diet, in some cases, carefully chosen Ayurvedic approved B12 supplements might be necessary but should be considered under supervision.
For the internal inflammation part indicated by high HS-CRP levels, incorporate turmeric into your regualr diet. Having a warm glass of turmeric milk before bed could be beneficial. Additionally, including ginger and healthy spices such as black pepper in your meals can support reducing inflammation.
With respect to your weight, managing a healthy agni (digestive fire) is key. Drink warm water with a squeeze of lemon in the morning to help boost your metabolism, and try to consume light, freshly cooked meals. Prioritize satvic (pure, balanced) foods and avoid processed, oily or heavy meals.
Lastly, holistic practices like yoga and pranayama are beneficial for overall wellness, balancing doshas, and reducing stress. Aim for at least 30 minutes of daily physical activity to maintain a healthy weight. Make sure to work under ayurvedic practitioner for tailored strategies to your unique needs and dietary restrictions.
Your condition indicates some imbalances in your body that Ayurveda can help address. The low levels of Vitamin D and B12 suggest a depletion of energy within the six dhatus, most notably the rasa and rakta dhatus. The elevated CRP indicates internal inflammation, possibly tied to a vitiated Pitta dosha.
To address Vitamin D deficiency, try spending time outside in the early morning sun for about 15 to 20 minutes daily as natural sunlight is essential. Including foods like mushrooms and fortified dairy in your diet can be helpful. For Vitamin B12, consider incorporating more fermented foods such as idli and dosa made from whole grains, which support metabolic balance. Also, including natural sources like amla (Indian gooseberry) can help boost B12 levels indirectly by enhancing digestion and absorption through its high vitamin C content.
For inflammation, you might benefit from reducing pitta-aggravating foods. Avoid spicy, sour, and fried foods, and limit alcohol and caffeine. Instead, opt for cooling foods like cucumber, coriander, and cilantro. Drinking herbal teas like tulsi or ginger can also help manage inflammation naturally, however, avoid ginger if you tend to feel overheated. Adding turmeric milk to your diet could help, too, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Ensure you maintain a routine that includes moderate exercise tailored to your capacity, to stimulate circulation and thus the purifying action of agni. Prioritize rest as well and manage stress with Ayurvedic practices like pranayama or meditation which will help maintain equilibrium within your doshas and nadis.
Remember, these interventions will complement but not replace what modern medicine offers. A significant deficiency may require supplementation under a physician’s care to quickly correct the imbalance, especially if the condition demands it. Always consult directly with a healthcare provider to ensure these treatments are appropriate for your specific health conditions and needs.
