To lose body fat with hypertension and depression:
Recommendations:
Diet: Follow a light, low-carb diet with fresh vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid sugar, processed foods, and excessive salt.
Lifestyle: Daily 30-minute walk and yoga (gentle, stress-reducing asanas).
Herbs:
Triphala: 1 tsp at bedtime for digestion and weight loss.
Medohar Guggulu: Take under guidance for fat metabolism.
Mind-Body: Practice pranayama (Anulom Vilom) to manage stress and support weight loss.
Caution:
Consult your doctor or an Ayurvedic physician before starting herbs to ensure compatibility with current medications.

Alright, let's chat about this. Firstly, before I talk about any Ayurvedic meds, we gotta consider the fact that you're on hypertension and depression medicines. Mixing things up without consulting your regular doc ain't a great idea, especially since some herbs can, unexpectantly, mess with your meds.
Now, about dropping that weight... In Ayurveda, balancing your *Kapha* dosha might be key here. Kapha types tend to store more fat, and sometimes they struggle more with losing it. Do you feel, like, sluggish after meals or have a slower metabolism? If so, these are classic Kapha signs that might need addressing.
Think about your diet — super important. Avoid heavy, greasy foods that are hard to digest. Go for lighter, warm meals like soups or grilled veggies. Into *khichdi*? It's a great staple. You might also want to sip on warm water or ginger tea throughout the day to keep your digestive fire or *agni* in top shape. It's absolutely amazing how that little habit helps!
And, don’t overlook exercise. Even a brisk walk daily for 30 minutes can help. Start small, maybe just 10 mins then increase. Cardio or yoga would also be beneficial if you are comfortable. But hey, we’re balancing here, neither extreme — not too much exercise that you burn out, nor too little.
You can consider *Triphala*, which is a well-known herbal blend for digestion. It helps in cleansing and promoting a healthy metabolism. Take it at bedtime with warm water. But please - check with your doc on this one!
No magic pills, remember that. Weight loss, especially at this stage of life with its additional health conditions, calls for a whole lifestyle shift. And last, make sure you’re keeping a positive mindset. Manage stress with meditation or simple breathing exercises daily. Let’s break the myth of overnight results, this is a journey.
Wanna dive deeper into one of these suggestions, or did somethin’ not make sense?
