Incorporate daily brisk walking, jogging, or cycling for 30–40 minutes.
Add strength training 2–3 times a week to target belly fat.

Alright, let's dig into this. When it comes to tackling cholesterol, triglycerides specifically, Ayurveda has some intriguing insights. First and foremost, think about incorporating more fibers into your diet. Oats or barley in the morning? Not a bad idea. These grains are great at soaking up fat in your system. Trikatu, which is a combo of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger, can also give your digestion, especially your agni, the kick it needs to process fats better. A teaspoon of this with warm water before meals could be the way to go, but adjust based on your body's response.
Now, for belly fat—it's a bit of a nemesis, isn't it? Try setting a morning routine that includes Surya Namaskar. Even 10 minutes a day can make a significant difference. Believe me, consistency is the magic here. Kapha's usually to blame for that stubborn belly, so warm, light, and dry foods can help balance it out. Think quinoa, lentils, and spices like turmeric, cinnamon, cloves.
And thyroid issues, they're tricky. Ashwagandha might help stabilize your thyroid functions. A capsule or a teaspoon of ashwagandha powder in the morning or evening can potentially soothe erratic thyroid activity, but always best to consult if you're on any thyroid meds.
Feeling low energy during the day can often relate to your ojas - your essential vitality. Incorporate more almond, sesame seeds, a touch of honey in your diet - but not all at once! An almond smoothie with almond mum with breakfast might just do wonders.
For fertility advice - Shatavari is the queen of herbs for female reproductive health. Take it as a powder or capsule, about 1/4 teaspoon with warm milk would be my go-to suggestion. But listen to your body and adjust accordingly.
Balance, moderation, and consistency are key. Anything extreme can throw things out of sync, so tweak these bits and see what fits. Prioritize getting in touch with an Ayurvedic doctor for personalized guidance especially for thyroid stuff since that's a little complex. Keep it real, give it time, and your body will find its groove.
