Hello Good question! Fennel can help with digestion, sweet cravings, and weight, but only if you don’t take too much. I’ll explain it in simple terms from an Ayurvedic point of view. Fennel: How much is okay? ✅ How much fennel can you eat daily? 1–2 teaspoons (5–10 grams) a day is safe and helpful. Don’t eat 4–5 teaspoons every day. What happens if you eat too much fennel? –Low BP (dizziness, weakness) –Hormone imbalance –Too much coldness → increased cough –Gas or loose motions in some people So, take only a small amount. Can you eat fennel if you crave sweets? ✔️ Yes, definitely! Fennel is naturally sweet. It controls sweet cravings. How to take it? ½–1 teaspoon of plain fennel after meals Or fennel + a little roasted coriander Or fennel tea / fennel water ❌ Avoid fennel with Mishri (it increases weight). ⚖️ How does fennel help in losing weight? Fennel water (Best method) 1 teaspoon of fennel Soak in 1 glass of water overnight Strain and drink lukewarm in the morning ➡️ Benefits: Better metabolism Less gas and bloating Appetite control Ayurvedic tips to lose weight ✅ What to do: Lukewarm water in the morning Eat on time Light, homemade food Walk for 30–40 minutes daily Dinner light and early ❌ What not to do: Snacking often Sweets, cold drinks Late night dinner Too much fennel or mouth freshener ✔️ Fennel is good but limit it to 1–2 teaspoons/day. ✔️ Fennel is a good option for sweet cravings. ✔️ It helps in losing weight if diet + lifestyle is right. Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Saunf kitni le sakte hain? Roz 1–2 chhoti chamach (teaspoon) saunf kaafi hoti hai. 4–5 chamach roz lena zarurat se zyada ho sakta hai—kabhi-kabhi gas, acidity ya allergy (khujli) badha sakti hai.

Mitha khane ka mann ho to? Haan, saunf chabana ya saunf ki chai mitha craving thodi kam kar sakti hai. Par mitha saunf (sugar-coated) se bachें—wo weight loss me help nahi karta.

Weight kam karne ke liye kya karein? Plate ka half sabzi + salad, quarter protein (dal, paneer, eggs), quarter roti/rice Sugar, fried snacks kam Roz 30–45 min walk/exercise Paani zyada, late-night snacking kam Saunf sirf support hai, magic solution nahi

Agar saunf lene ke baad khujli, pet dard, ya discomfort ho, to quantity kam karein ya band karke batayein.

Saunf Kitni Kha Sakte Hain - Safe daily intake: 1–2 teaspoons (5–10 g) roasted or soaked saunf. - 4–5 spoon (20–25 g) daily: Agar kabhi kabhi lete ho toh zyada problem nahi, lekin rozana itna lena acidity, bloating, ya mild hormonal imbalance (kyunki saunf phytoestrogen-rich hai) kar sakta hai. Best way: - Soaked overnight → subah paani ke saath. - Roasted saunf → after meals for digestion. 🍬 Mithas ki craving ke liye - Jab mitha khane ka mann ho, toh saunf chabana ek healthy option hai. - Ye natural sweetness deta hai aur digestion bhi sudhaar karta hai. - Lekin agar craving bahut strong hai, toh fruit (apple, guava, papaya) lena better hai, kyunki usme fiber + vitamins bhi milte hain. ⚖️ Weight Loss ke liye Ayurvedic Tips 1. Diet - Include: Lauki, tinda, karela, palak, methi, barley, oats. - Avoid: Fried foods, refined sugar, bakery items. - Meal timing: Dinner hamesha light aur 7–8 baje tak khatam karein. 2. Herbal Support - Saunf + Jeera + Ajwain water: 1 tsp each, boil in 2 cups water → sip warm. - Triphala powder: 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water → detox + weight balance. 3. Lifestyle - Walk daily (30–40 min). - Yoga: Surya Namaskar, Bhujangasana, Pawanmuktasana. - Adequate sleep (7–8 hrs). Warm Regards DR.ANJALI SEHRAWAT

HELLO, RECOMMENDED DAILY INTAKE -Safe quantity= generally, 1-2 tsp (5-10 gms) of fennel seeds per day is considered safe for most adults WHAT YOU MENTIONED= consuming 4-5 spoons daily can excessive if each spoon is a standard teaspoon. That wound be 20-25g/da, which may cause digestive discomfort or interfere with some medications POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF FENNEL POSITIVE -Digestive aid= helps with bloating, gas, and mild constipation -Appetite control= can slightly reduce sugar cravings if chewed after meals -Antioxidant and anti inflammatory= supports overall gut and metabolic health CAUTION AND NEGATIVE -Too much can irritate stomach -> heartburn, diarrhea -Drug interactions : May affect some medications (like blood thinners or diuretics) if taken In large amounts -Hormonal effects= contains phytoestrogens, so high doses long term aren’t recommended USING FENNEL INSTEAD OF SWEETS -chewing 1-2 tsp of fennel seeds after meals can curb sweet cravings -4-5 teaspoons at once is not necessary ; smaller amounts work effectively WEIGHT LOSS TIPS ALONGSIDE FENNEL -Diet adjustments= Include more vegetables, lean protein, and fiber rich foods -Hydration=drink plenty of water, fennel tea can also help -Exercise= regular physical activity is key -Mindful eating= avoid late night snacking, use fennel as a mild appetite suppressant Stick to 1-2 tsp/day for appetite control and digestive benefits. Overeating (4-5 tsp/day) isn’t dangerous for most healthy people, but it may cause stomach issues. Use it as a small, strategic tool rather than a main strategy for weight loss THANK YOU DR.

नमस्ते, रोज़ाना लेने की सलाह -सुरक्षित मात्रा = आम तौर पर, ज़्यादातर वयस्कों के लिए रोज़ाना 1-2 चम्मच (5-10 ग्राम) सौंफ के बीज सुरक्षित माने जाते हैं आपने जो बताया = अगर हर चम्मच स्टैंडर्ड टीस्पून है, तो रोज़ाना 4-5 चम्मच खाना ज़्यादा हो सकता है। यह 20-25 ग्राम/दिन होगा, जिससे पाचन में दिक्कत हो सकती है या कुछ दवाओं पर असर पड़ सकता है सौंफ के संभावित प्रभाव सकारात्मक -पाचन में सहायक = सूजन, गैस और हल्की कब्ज़ में मदद करता है -भूख कंट्रोल = अगर खाने के बाद चबाया जाए तो मीठा खाने की इच्छा थोड़ी कम हो सकती है -एंटीऑक्सीडेंट और एंटी-इंफ्लेमेटरी = पेट और मेटाबॉलिक स्वास्थ्य को बेहतर बनाता है सावधानी और नकारात्मक -ज़्यादा खाने से पेट में जलन हो सकती है -> सीने में जलन, दस्त -दवाओं के साथ रिएक्शन: ज़्यादा मात्रा में लेने पर कुछ दवाओं (जैसे ब्लड थिनर या ड्यूरेटिक्स) पर असर पड़ सकता है -हार्मोनल प्रभाव = इसमें फाइटोएस्ट्रोजन होते हैं, इसलिए लंबे समय तक ज़्यादा डोज़ लेने की सलाह नहीं दी जाती है मीठे के बजाय सौंफ का इस्तेमाल -खाने के बाद 1-2 चम्मच सौंफ के बीज चबाने से मीठा खाने की इच्छा कम हो सकती है -एक बार में 4-5 चम्मच ज़रूरी नहीं है; कम मात्रा भी असरदार होती है सौंफ के साथ वज़न घटाने के टिप्स -खान-पान में बदलाव = ज़्यादा सब्ज़ियां, लीन प्रोटीन और फाइबर वाले खाने की चीज़ें शामिल करें -हाइड्रेशन = खूब पानी पिएं, सौंफ की चाय भी मदद कर सकती है -व्यायाम = नियमित शारीरिक गतिविधि ज़रूरी है -सोच-समझकर खाना = देर रात स्नैकिंग से बचें, सौंफ का इस्तेमाल हल्की भूख कम करने वाले के तौर पर करें भूख कंट्रोल और पाचन के फायदों के लिए 1-2 चम्मच/दिन ही लें। ज़्यादा खाना (4-5 चम्मच/दिन) ज़्यादातर स्वस्थ लोगों के लिए खतरनाक नहीं है, लेकिन इससे पेट की समस्या हो सकती है। वज़न घटाने के लिए इसे मुख्य रणनीति के बजाय एक छोटे, रणनीतिक तरीके के तौर पर इस्तेमाल करें धन्यवाद डॉ. मैत्री आचार्य
