Healthy Eating, Still Gaining Weight? Ayurveda & Science Reveal Surprising Reasons
- •Weight gain isn't just about food; internal systems like Agni (Ayurveda) or metabolism (science) play a crucial role.
- •Even healthy foods can lead to weight gain if consumed in excess, as some are calorie-dense (e.g., dry fruits, ghee).
- •Many 'healthy' marketed products contain hidden sugars, which can increase Kapha (Ayurveda) or insulin levels (science), leading to fat storage.
- •Hormonal imbalances (e.g., thyroid, PCOS, stress) can slow metabolism, causing weight gain despite eating less.
- •Lack of sleep and mental stress weaken digestion, increase hunger hormones, and slow metabolism, contributing to weight gain.
