“Vaat rog” refers to various diseases in Ayurveda caused by an imbalance of the Vata dosha, which is associated with air and space elements in the body. Here are 20 tips to prevent Vaat rog:
Stick to a regular daily routine that includes regular sleep, meal times, and exercise.
Eat a balanced and nutritious diet that is easy to digest and includes warm, cooked foods.
Avoid cold, raw, and processed foods, as they can aggravate Vata.
Stay hydrated by drinking warm water and herbal teas throughout the day.
Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and other stimulants that can aggravate Vata.
Manage stress through meditation, yoga, or other relaxation techniques.
Get regular exercise, including walking, yoga, and light strength training.
Avoid overexertion, as this can cause stress and strain on the body.
Get adequate rest and sleep, as lack of sleep can increase Vata.
Avoid exposure to cold and dry weather, as it can increase Vata.
Use warm, soothing oils for massage and self-care, such as sesame oil or almond oil.
Take warm baths with Epsom salts or essential oils to help relax the body.
Practice good hygiene, such as washing your hands and avoiding contact with sick people.
Avoid overeating, as it can cause indigestion and increase Vata.
Eat foods that are naturally sweet, sour, and salty, as they help balance Vata.
Avoid eating too many beans, lentils, and other gas-producing foods that can cause bloating and indigestion.
Drink warm, spiced milk at bedtime to help promote restful sleep.
Practice deep breathing exercises, as they help calm the mind and body.
Use warm compresses or heating pads to ease sore muscles and joints.
