💪 FITNESS & PREVENTIVE HEALTH:

By Ayush Awasthi (BAMS Final Year Student)

🧍‍♂️ JAB BODY NE WARNING DI – MERI SHURUAAT YAHAAN SE HUI

Main Ayush hoon, ek BAMS final year ka student. Jab aap Ayurveda padh rahe ho, toh health ka importance samajhna natural hai — par frankly bolun toh main bhi pehle apne health ko lightly leta tha.

2nd year ke exams ke time main itna stress mein tha ki na sahi se khana, na proper neend, na koi physical activity.

Thodi thodi der mein thakan, low energy, aur frequent colds hone lage. Tab maine realise kiya — preventive health sirf theory ka part nahi hai, woh meri life ka bhi essential element hai.

🌿 PREVENTIVE HEALTH KA ASAL MATLAB KYA HAI?

Preventive health ka matlab hai aise lifestyle changes aur habits ko apnaana jo aapko future mein badi bimariyon se bacha sakein — jaise diabetes, heart disease, obesity, etc.

Ayurveda mein preventive health ko “Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam” kehte hain — yaani jo healthy hai, uski health ko maintain karna.

Best time for workout?	Subah empty stomach ya shaam ke baad

🧘‍♀️ Stress Aur Fitness Ka Connection – My Realisation

During exam times, I noticed that even after eating healthy, I felt low energy and had some belly fat. Later, I learned from my Ayurvedic training that mental stress (Manas dosha) increases Vata, leading to disturbed metabolism.

I started doing Anulom Vilom and Bhramari pranayama for just 10 minutes daily. Believe me, it helped in calming my mind and gradually improved my overall health.

🫛 Indian Superfoods That I Include in My Daily Routine

Methi Dana Soaked Water – helps in fat metabolism and hormonal balance

Roasted or Boiled Chana – rich in protein and keeps you full for longer

Desi Ghee – supports digestion and immunity

Seasonal Fruits – like guava, banana, papaya, pomegranate – loaded with fibre and vitamins

👉 These superfoods are easily available in Indian households and don’t burn your pocket.

📱 Digital Detox Tips for Urban Health

One habit that significantly improved my sleep quality was avoiding mobile phones after 9 PM.

According to Ayurveda, “Ratri Jagarana” (late night wakefulness) weakens immunity and increases mental toxins (Ama). I now keep my phone aside and spend time journaling or reading something peaceful. Within 2 weeks, I started waking up fresher and had better focus in my studies.

🛌 Importance of Proper Sleep – Often Ignored in Cities

Sleep is one of the three pillars of health (Traya Upastambha) in Ayurveda. Acharya Charak has emphasized how important Nidra (sleep) is for body rejuvenation. Shifting my bedtime before 11 PM made a huge difference—I could focus better, my skin improved, and I even noticed some fat loss without changing my food habits.

💧 Hydration the Right Way: Avoid Ice-Cold Water

Earlier I used to drink fridge water, especially in summer. But I realised it caused bloating and weakened my digestion. Ayurveda explains how cold water reduces “Agni” (digestive fire). Now I drink lukewarm water or water stored in a copper vessel, and I’ve seen my metabolism improve. Try this simple switch—it really works!

🔚 ANTIM SHABD – MAINE KYA SEEKHA APNE EXPERIENCE SE

Fitness ek daily routine hai. Har din agar thoda bhi time apne health ko doge, toh badi bimariyon se easily bachoge.

Fitness doesn’t require gym memberships or protein powders. As a BAMS Student , I believe our Indian kitchen and lifestyle already has the answer. Through small daily steps—like walking, sleeping on time, and eating local food—I’ve seen my own health transform.

Main khud ki journey share kar raha hoon. Yeh blog mera sach hai — jo maine feel kiya, woh likha hai. Aap bhi apni health ke liye aaj ek step lein.

Start with one habit. Stay consistent. Apke andar badlav dikhna shuru ho jaayega.

Trust Ayurveda. Trust Yourself. 💪🌿
