5 Ayurvedic tip on staying healthy when you hit 40

Hitting 40 is a bigger milestone than you realise. 

Many biological changes start to happen.
It's a Pitta phase of life progressing slowly to Vata phase.

From your metabolism to hormones, skin and hair; all organs start to show signs of natural ageing. It's extremely important to start taking care of your health!

Have an early start

  • Nothing beats the feeling of freshness from an early start
  • Those quiet moments before a busy day can help your nervous system to cope well with stress
  • Have a routine that is soothing to your mind and energising for your body!

Exercise on empty stomach!

  • Exercising on empty stomach aids in laghutva (lightness) and doesn't interact with other physiological processes
  • Aim to exercise early in the morning for at least 30 min to 1 hr regularly.

Eat less and move more!

  • This's the best rule to maintain your metabolism after 40
  • Ayurveda recommends that you leave the plate once you're 3/4th full
  • Keep moving throughout the day and don't sleep in the afternoon.

Eat to digest

  • Don't focus on eating healthy food, focus on digesting them well
  • Eat lighter, warm, oily (unctuous) foods more often.
