Why digestion weakens
Eating before the last meal is digested, overeating, cold and heavy food, frequent snacking, late dinners, stress and inactivity weaken agni. Undigested residue (ama) then causes heaviness, gas and fatigue.
Our plan
- Fixed meal times with a 3–4 hour gap and no constant snacking
- Warm, freshly cooked, lighter meals; an early dinner
- Digestive spices such as ginger, cumin and ajwain as advised
- Ayurvedic medicines to rekindle agni and clear ama
- A walk after meals and regular sleep
When to see a doctor
See a doctor promptly for vomiting, black stools, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss or persistent pain.
