Achieve a Healthy Weight According to your Dosha
According to Ayurvedic theory, each individual is born with varying combinations of the doshas (refer to intro to doshas), so every individual’s body size/type is different. Based on predominating doshas, some people are thin-framed and leaner, while others are thicker-boned and larger. Neither body type is right or wrong and in fact, Ayurveda proposes health at every size. Thus, there is no set routine to help you lose or gain weight. Instead, Ayurvedic medicine equips you with guidelines surrounding the types of foods and movements to incorporate according to your dosha. Following lifestyle prescriptions tailored to your body type will help you better approach your ideal weight – whether that’s through shedding some excess fat or adding some additional muscle. Once you know your dosha, check out our tips below to take one step closer balancing your body type.
