Physical Exercise: According to Ayurveda * Physical Exercise: According to Ayurveda , regular exercise of the body is essential for everyone. Sharira Cheshta Ya Cheshta Sthairyartha Balavardhini | Deha Vyayama Sankhyata Matraya Tam Samacareta ||* ------------------------------
Meaning: The movements (and postures) of body aimed at stabilizing and strengthening it constitute what is known as "Physical Exercise". As food is essential for sustenance of life, so is physical exercise vital for its health. A (mechanical) clock doesn’t work without periodical winding. Similarly, the body can’t function properly without any physical exercise. Regular physical exercise is like the nectar-milk of Kamdhenu (a heavenly cow referred in mythological scriptures) for good health. 2 Pillars Of Wellness Ayurveda describes 5 pillars of wellness which are essential to good health. As we all know, a yogic lifestyle is about *balance *— a dynamic dance unique to each of us. These five pillars include rest, movement, food and nutrition, meditation and emotional well-being. 1. *Rest *is defined as a situation of physical and mental ease. Adequate sleep is important to ensure that your mind is well-rested, and often includes dreams. The correct relaxation practices help in recalibrating the nervous systems and prepare us to meet the energy of growth and change. 2. *Movement*, especially daily movement of the body, is an indispensable part of leading a healthy life. It is important to engage in some movement – running, walking, exercising, gyming, yoga etc. so that your body remains active and the organs are able to perform their function to the best of their capability. 3. *Food and Nutrition* is essential to all-round health. Always try to include warming and carminative herbs and spices in your diet (ginger, cumin, cardamom, coriander, orange peel, as well as culinary herbs like rosemary and basil) as they support healthy and active digestion. 4. *Right Meditation* is an aspect that many lack in their routine, yet can truly do wonders to the body. It is the art of bringing some intentional and powerful pranayama into our daily routines to deepen the breath, strengthen the lungs, expand their capacity and resilience. Although present in varying forms, an ideal meditation routine is best recommended as per one’s dosha type. 5. *Emotional Wellbeing* is evident through happiness, contentment, patience, and satisfaction. Ayurveda also encourages you to express all emotions freely and openly, either positive or negative These five pillars are also interconnected to one’s energy and productivity levels. However, the right balance of these pillars is not the only factor to influencing productivity. One must tune into their bodies and minds – as well as their emotional state from within – so their body can truly soar high and deliver results. 3 *Vata, pitta* and *kapha *are not only the three mind-body doshas that determine our physical features, yet also affect how one deals with stress and work. They are those energetic human forces that connect you to the universe and establish a rhythm. By setting your tasks, schedule and lifestyle with the rhythms of nature, your inner and outer worlds balance themselves automatically. *4 Different hours of the day account for varying emotions and energy levels.* Some bring more mental clarity, whereas others tire you out. The closer you are to your day’s schedule as per the energy, the more energised and refreshed you will feel. *5 The art of connecting your daily routine as per the energy cycles is a powerful one.* By moving away from these natural cycles, you risk your health, happiness and balance in life. Grasping control of your natural cycles and routine makes you wise and capable of decision making – ranging from your food, your habits and your lifestyle. *6 Ayurveda talks about balancing your internal energy while Vastu aims at balancing the outside energies. *Vastu ensures that the energies absorbed by your body are all pure and positive. However, if your body’s internal energy balance is not correct then the positive energies created by vastu would be wasted and can even prove to be counterproductive, having serious after effects. Vastu is a simple practice that can practised in daily life by adopting certain habits and systems. Organising your home is one of the simplest steps you can take towards attracting positive energy. 7 Skin types are defined by Dosha in Ayurveda, as per which appropriate healthcare measures are recommended. - *Vata Dosha *deals with thin and delicate skin and is prone to dryness, wrinkles, fine lines and pores. Those falling into this category must keep their skin hydrated and moisturised. - *Pitta Dosha *deals with sensitive skin. People of this skin type frequently develop breakouts, which can result in oily skin and rashes. - *Kapha Dosha *deals with oily skin, accompanied with large pores and blackheads. This may potentially grow into acne or skin eczema. Fortunately, Ayurveda recommends simple natural steps that can be taken to counter such challenges, through herbs as well as skincare tips. - *Neem oil *is effective for treating blemishes, and also has antibacterial properties - *Manjistha *is one of the best ayurvedic herbs for glowing skin, and can be used internally or as a face pack - The *Padmaka plant *can be powdered and used to improve skin complexion - *Nagkesar *can improve skin complexion, making it smooth and supple among other benefits - *Vetiver *is also known as usheer or khus, and is effective in fighting acne and blemishes, as well as giving off a radiant skin tone - Internal skin care tips include yoga for glowing skin, adequate sleep and rest, and maintenance of a healthy diet - External skin care tips include cleansing, nourishing and moisturizing, and facial massages Penetrating a layer below the skin, ayurveda also recommends measures to detoxify the body from within – which likewise will show externally as well. *8 Detoxification implies the purification of blood in the body.* It is done by eradicating the impurities from the blood, where all the toxins are processed for elimination. The body is also capable of eliminating toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin among other parts. However, body imbalances tend to affect the process in which impurities are effectively filtered. Some basic tips that can promote detoxification are: - Drink enough hot water and ayurvedic tea (eg. Ginger tea, Basil tea) - Practice intermittent fasting - Increase you bitter food intake - Use pungent spices such as ginger, turmeric, black pepper etc. - Move your body on a daily basis through various exercises - Consume green vegetables and seasonal fruits 9 Benefits of Proper Exercise Exercise also supports the body’s pathways of detoxification—kindling *agni* <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/learning-ayurveda/glossary-of-ayurvedic-terms/> (the digestive fire <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/health-guides/understanding-agni/the-importance-of-agni/>) throughout the tissues while improving digestion, circulation, elimination, and lymphatic flow.Beyond that, exercise activates natural pathways of rejuvenation by helping release accumulated tension, clearing stagnant mental and emotional energy, improving our ability to relax, and supporting sound sleep.All of these benefits are understandably critical to our experience of optimal health. Ideally, our fitness routines are grounding, energizing, and truly help us feel our best—body, mind, and spirit. 10 The Ayurvedic Perspective on Fitness One of the most elegant aspects of the Ayurvedic tradition is its incredible devotion to the individual.While aspects of the Ayurvedic lifestyle are generally suitable for everyone, Ayurveda acknowledges that each of us is unique. What might be very therapeutic for one person can be categorically harmful to another. The same is true of exercise. Ayurveda’s fitness recommendations depend on one’s constitution and current state of balance <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/dosha-quiz/>, age <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/health-guides/the-three-stages-of-life/>, the surrounding climate, and the season <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/seasonal-guides/>. By nature, exercise is qualitatively light, sharp, hot, mobile, clarifying, and drying. One of the foundational principles of Ayurveda is that like increases like and that opposites balance. Ideally, we can observe how each quality might interact with the energies already at play within our bodies or the broader context of our lives (as with the current climate or season). 11 General Exercise Tips *Exercise at 50 percent capacity.* In general, Ayurveda recommends that we exercise at just fifty percent of our capacity—until we break a mild sweat on the forehead, under the arms, and along the spine, or until the first sign of dryness in the mouth. *Breathe through your nostrils.* You can help ensure an appropriate amount of effort by breathing through your nostrils throughout your workout. This can feel challenging at first, but it definitely gets easier with time and practice. Most people gradually develop a tolerance for more and more intensity, as their nostrils adapt to being the primary passageway for the breath during exercise. *Work out at the right time of day*. Ayurveda also recommends that we exercise during the *kapha* <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/learning-ayurveda/glossary-of-ayurvedic-terms/> time of day, from about 6– a.m. and 10 p.m. These times of day are ruled by kapha *dosha* <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/learning-ayurveda/glossary-of-ayurvedic-terms/> and are therefore infused with a sense of groundedness, stability, and strength that helps counteract the inherent lightness and mobility of physical activity. And actually, because the qualities of exercise oppose the qualities of kapha, being active at these times of day can counteract any tendency toward sluggishness, heaviness, or mental fog that might otherwise dampen your sense of well-being. If exercising during the kapha time of day is out of the question for you, find a time that works for you and your body, being especially mindful of any *vata* <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/learning-ayurveda/glossary-of-ayurvedic-terms/> or *pitta* <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/learning-ayurveda/glossary-of-ayurvedic-terms/> aggravation you may be experiencing. Exercise has far more in common with vata and pitta than kapha, so exercising during pitta times of day (10 a.m–2 p.m. and 10 p.m.–2 a.m.) and vata times of day (2–6 a.m. and p.m.) can easily provoke these doshas. Beyond these generalities, you can further improve the benefits of your fitness routine by tailoring it to balance the specific dosha that needs the most support in your system. As a general rule, exercise to support your current state of balance, which is generally a reflection of all the various influences that may be affecting you at any given time—your constitutional tendencies, your age, the season, and your lifestyle. When you find that you are relatively balanced for an extended period of time, you may also choose to adapt your routine according to your stage of life <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/health-guides/the-three-stages-of-life/> and make slight refinements as the seasons change. Vata season <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/seasonal-guides/autumn-guide/> occurs during the fall and early winter, kapha season <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/seasonal-guides/winter-guide/> encompasses the winter and early spring, and pitta season <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/seasonal-guides/summer-guide/> is late spring through the summer. Remember, when an imbalance is present (which is the case for most of us), one should focus on balancing whichever dosha is most aggravated. The beauty of this system is that you can always refine your approach as your needs change. 12 *Vata* <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/learning-ayurveda/glossary-of-ayurvedic-terms/> is the most delicate of the *doshas* <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/learning-ayurveda/glossary-of-ayurvedic-terms/>, the most easily aggravated, and has the most limited reserves of stamina. Qualitatively, vata is light, cold, dry, rough, mobile, subtle, and clear, which means that vata dosha has a great deal in common with exercise. In general, a vata-balancing approach to physical activity should be gentle, stabilizing, and guard against over-exertion. For vata, exercising during the kapha times of day (6–10 a.m. and p.m.) is especially important because the atmospheric kapha helps buffer vata’s delicate nature. Movements should be grounding, slow, intentional, and emphasize stretching, strength-building, and fluidity (think smooth movements). Focus on bringing as many of the following influences into your workouts as possible: *Groundedness.* Make a conscious effort to develop a connection with the earth element. Because of its inherently grounding nature, the earth can be tremendously supportive as you exercise. Activities that help us connect with the earth include: - Lying down—either on a firm floor or (when weather permits) outside, directly on the earth. - Placing the feet purposefully on the floor (or ground, when outdoors) and directing your full attention toward the connection between the feet and the earth. - Exercising outdoors and in nature, and specifically inviting your senses to fully receive the natural world around you. - Always practicing yoga barefooted. - Embrace standing, balancing, and supine poses in your yoga practice to purposefully connect with the earth and close your practice with a lengthy Savasana <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/yoga/vata-pacifying-yoga/vata-yoga-poses-corpse-pose/> (Corpse Pose). *A Slow Sense of Purpose.* While vata certainly benefits from forms of exercise that are literally slow and filled with mindfulness (things like restorative yoga, tai chi, or chi gong), this energy can be cultivated in more physically intense activities as well. Simply be conscious of slowing your thoughts and choose an intention. Invite your workout to ground your physical body, release stress and anxious feelings, and bolster health, rejuvenation, and balance in every area of your life. *Fluidity.* Vata has a strong tendency to constrict or tighten. Bringing a smooth fluidity to your movements is far more supportive of vata tendencies than excessive tension, repetition, or pounding. For example, tai chi and swimming are far more fluid and vata-balancing forms of exercise than long-distance running. In any activity, try using the breath to create a sense of freedom throughout the body and explore alternative ways of moving that break your entrained patterns. (The yoga pose Cat-Cow <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/yoga/vata-pacifying-yoga/vata-yoga-poses-cat-cow/> illustrates beautifully how this might be accomplished.) *Flexibility.* Much like fluidity, cultivating flexibility can help release unnecessary tension or constriction in the body. Be sure to stretch before and after your workouts to prevent undue tightening or contraction. And use the breath to encourage the release of any unnecessary tension. *Strength.* When vata is high, muscle tone and strength are easily diminished. Carving out time for strength-building activities (done in a vata-balancing way) helps counter vata’s tendency toward depletion and preserve healthy muscle tissue. *Rest and Rejuvenation.* Vata is also profoundly supported by balancing periods of activity with adequate rest and recovery. If you are a committed athlete, consider taking a day off between your more intense workouts or alternating them with more gentle activities. Also, in conjunction with adapting *how* you exercise, be sure to offer your body plenty of vata-soothing qualities outside of your exercise regimen. 13 *Pitta* <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/learning-ayurveda/glossary-of-ayurvedic-terms/> is slightly less delicate than *vata* <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/learning-ayurveda/glossary-of-ayurvedic-terms/>, but more so than *kapha* <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/learning-ayurveda/glossary-of-ayurvedic-terms/>, with moderate stamina. Qualitatively, pitta is hot, sharp, light, oily, liquid, spreading, and clear, which means that pitta has a fair amount in common with exercise. For pitta, it is important to avoid exercising from 10–2 a.m./p.m., when the qualities of pitta are elevated in the natural world. While exercising at the kapha time of day (from 6–10 a.m./p.m.) is certainly the most supportive, any time outside of the mid-day period helps minimize one’s exposure to heat and other pitta-aggravating qualities. Movements should be appropriately challenging, but executed in a relaxed manner (without strain), should emphasize fluidity (which counters pitta’s sharpness and rigidity), and should feel stabilizing and pleasantly nourishing. Focus on bringing as many of the following influences into your workouts as possible: *Relaxed Effort.* This is pitta’s key to success. Pitta is naturally aligned with ambition and strength of character. With a lot of pitta in your system, you may quite enjoy a good challenge, and you may know your iron will to be capable of pushing through every imaginable obstacle. Unfortunately, taken too far, this mentality often comes at the expense of the body’s physical needs, and pitta is actually far more delicate than a pitta mind likes to admit. Thus, it is essential to balance pitta’s capacity to overcome adversity (along with its natural desire to get it “right”) with an intention to *relax*. Surrendering to a space of enjoyment—even when working hard physically—can make a huge difference. This is about softening pitta’s sharpness and intensity, rounding out the experience, and inviting a little more fun and pleasure into your workouts (and your life, in general). It is absolutely fine—important even—to challenge yourself physically, as long as the mental and emotional spheres are more soft and spacious than they are sharp. *Groundedness.* Make a conscious effort to develop a connection with the earth element. Because of its inherently grounding nature, the earth can be tremendously supportive as you exercise. Activities that help us connect with the earth include: - Lying down—either on a firm floor or (when weather permits) outside, directly on the earth. - Placing the feet purposefully on the floor (or ground, when outdoors) and directing your full attention toward the connection between the feet and the earth. - Exercising outdoors and in nature, and specifically inviting your senses to fully receive the natural world around you. - Always practicing yoga barefoot. - Embracing standing, balancing, and supine poses in your yoga practice to more purposefully connect with the earth, and closing your practice with several minutes in Savasana <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/yoga/pitta-pacifying-yoga/pitta-yoga-poses-corpse-pose/> (Corpse Pose). *Fluidity.* Pitta’s sharp, willful way of navigating the world can cause a lot of tension. Bringing a smooth fluidity to your movements helps counter these tendencies, and invites a sense of grace and ease into the system. For example, tai chi and swimming are far more fluid and pitta-balancing forms of exercise than bodybuilding. In any activity, try using the breath to create a sense of freedom and flow throughout the body, and explore alternative ways of moving that break your entrained patterns. (The yoga pose Cat-Cow <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/yoga/pitta-pacifying-yoga/pitta-yoga-poses-free-the-cat-and-cow/> illustrates beautifully how this might be accomplished.) *Flexibility.* Much like fluidity, cultivating flexibility can help release unnecessary tension or tightness. Be sure to stretch before and after your workouts in order to prevent undue strain or constriction. And use the breath to encourage the release of unnecessary tension. *Rest and Rejuvenation.* Pitta is also deeply supported by balancing periods of activity with adequate rest and recovery. If you are a committed athlete, consider taking a day off between your more intense workouts, or at least alternating them with more gentle activities. Also, in conjunction with adapting *how* you exercise, be sure to offer your body plenty of pitta-soothing qualities outside of your exercise regimen. *Exceptionally Balancing Activities.* Given the qualitative nature of pitta-balancing exercise, some activities are naturally more balancing than others. If you are unattached to a particular form of exercise, consider brisk walking, hiking, tai chi, swimming, jogging, cycling, skiing, snow-shoeing, and pitta-balancing yoga <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/yoga/pitta-pacifying-yoga> . If you are embarking on a new exercise routine, keep in mind that it need not be complex or time-intensive. Even a daily twenty-minute walk can be incredibly supportive for your entire being—body, mind, and spirit. On the other hand, if you are already in the habit of practicing a form of exercise that you love, do your best to do it in a pitta-friendly way. And if the activity tends to be inherently pitta-aggravating, be sure to bring some additional support for pitta into other areas of your life. 14 *Kapha* <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/learning-ayurveda/glossary-of-ayurvedic-terms/> is the sturdiest of the three *doshas* <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/learning-ayurveda/glossary-of-ayurvedic-terms/>, with an abundance of natural strength and stamina, which can be preserved and amplified through healthy exercise. Qualitatively, kapha is heavy, slow, cool, oily, smooth, dense, soft, stable, gross, and cloudy, which means that appropriate exercise is one of the most fundamentally kapha-balancing activities around. In general, a kapha-balancing approach to physical activity should be vigorous and challenging, but also inspiring and fun. Otherwise, kapha can easily trick us into lying on the couch instead. You may notice that exercising during the kapha times of day (6–10 a.m. and p.m.) is especially beneficial in that it helps you to shake off the heaviness and sluggishness that often descends during these times of day. On the other hand, where kapha is concerned, all that really matters is that you do, in fact, exercise. If the kapha time of day doesn’t work with your schedule, any time of day will do. But whatever you do, commit to an exercise schedule and stick with it. Focus on bringing as many of the following influences into your workouts as possible: Where kapha is concerned, making exercise fun and engaging is critical to your success. “Fun” means a lot of different things to different people, and what it means to you matters most, but consider making your activities adventuresome, social, playful, or unique in order to maximize your level of enjoyment. Kapha can cause lethargy and lack of motivation. One of the best ways to counter this energy is to make sure that your exercise routine always has a few surprises up its sleeve. Change up your route. Explore different activities you think you might enjoy. Bring a friend, a pet, or a friend’s pet along. And always be on the lookout for other ways to keep things fresh. Be sure to stretch before and after your workouts in order to encourage circulation and flow throughout the body. *Endurance.* Find ways to celebrate kapha’s natural strength and endurance. This is one of kapha’s innate gifts, and it will serve you well in your fitness routine—allowing you the freedom to engage with longer adventures and explorations. You do not have to push yourself beyond your capacity. Instead, try to honor both your current level of endurance, and the benefit of a good challenge. *Accountability.* Because kapha tends to dampen our desire to be active, it can be very helpful to create some level of accountability for yourself. Consider having an accountability partner, an exercise partner, or the support of a group that can help you keep your commitments. Even the right pet can be a strong motivational force. *Celebration.* As best you can, make your fitness program a celebration. Celebrate your life, your body, your adventures, and your community. Anything you can do to bring joy and pleasure into your activities will be helpful. Not only does this energy support you in staying active, but it is also broadly kapha-invigorating and will likely bolster your overall well-being. *Exceptionally Balancing Activities* Given the qualitative nature of kapha, most types of physical activity are going to be balancing. If you are unattached to a particular form of exercise, consider brisk walking, running, hiking, cycling, martial arts, kapha-balancing yoga <https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/ayurvedic-living/living-ayurveda/yoga/kapha-pacifying-yoga>, and other forms of strength-building, aerobic exercise. If you are embarking on a new exercise routine, keep in mind that it need not be complex or time-intensive. Even a daily twenty-minute walk can be incredibly supportive for your entire being—body, mind, and spirit. On the other hand, if you are already in the habit of practicing a form of exercise that you love, keep at it, and play with how you might make it even more kapha-friendly. If by chance some aspect of the activity tends to be inherently kapha-aggravating, be sure to bring some additional support for kapha into other areas of your life. 15 And walk is a simple form; every 30 minutes if 5 minutes spared to pick up something and back to chair, all day whenever you are awake that is enough. And foot problem is for all whether one is diabetic or healthy. Blood flow slows down to feet where there are minimum action; over reaction is not conducive; going around the park once ,(1200 to 2000 steps) or twice or thrice is sufficient for all aged people. Walking 5 minutes after dinner before food gets mixed up in blood, is good. Good sleep is the cue for health. If your body yields for jagging well, do it. Body and its want -you are the master to gauge and do the minimum gearing up. KR IRS 24123.
