I understand that your low appetite, energy, and strength may be linked to imbalances in your doshas, particularly Vata, which can lead to poor digestion and absorption. To address these issues, focus on strengthening your digestive fire (Agni) with warm, nourishing foods. Include ghee, whole grains like rice and oats, and foods rich in healthy fats, such as avocados, nuts, and seeds. Herbal supplements like Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Triphala can help improve energy, support digestion, and promote healthy weight gain. Additionally, try eating smaller, more frequent meals with a focus on protein-rich foods such as lentils, paneer, and eggs. Drinking warm milk with a pinch of turmeric and cardamom before bed can also promote better digestion and restful sleep. Prioritize relaxation and manage stress, as these can impact your overall vitality.

Struggling with weight gain can be super frustrating, especially when you feel like you're doing everything right but still not seeing results, yeah? Let's dive into this with an Ayurvedic lens, taking a peek at your doshas and all that jazzy stuff. Sounds like you’re maybe dealing with a Vata imbalance—often, low weight, appetite, energy levels can be signs of this.
First things first. We need to look at igniting your Agni (digestive fire). Without a robust digestion, gaining weight can be hard. Begin with a pinch of ginger and a few drops of lime juice before meals. Just chew on it and see if that helps increase hunger. Ginger juices up digestion and lime promotes Agni too.
For your diet, focus on nutrient-rich, calorie-dense foods above all else. Think whole milk, ghee, nuts like almonds and soaked cashews, and seeds like sunflower or sesame. Oh! Consider adding avocados and sweet potatoes as they’re great for supporting Vata and boosting energy.
Since your appetite’s low, small frequent meals work best. Maybe have kitchari, the old yet trusted rice-lentil mix, cooked with ghee and spices such as cumin and coriander. It’s easy on the stomach, yet nourishing.
In the lifestyle column, try to keep yourself warm and grounded, think warm showers or baths, and using natural oil like sesame for self-massage once a day.
On the energy front, morning routines could help. Start the day with a short meditation or pranayama like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing). Just something chill that can ground you.
If gym doesn't seem to be helping, maybe switch to gentle yoga or a brisk walk in nature, allowing calmness which also aids digestion. Commit to this routine for a few weeks.
But hey, if things feel severe or don't get better, visiting a local Ayurvedic practitioner or your doctor could be wise. Sometimes it's good to get a physical check-up to rule out other underlying issues. Take it one step at a time, and be patient with yourself.
