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.
