7 Ayurvedic Ways To Keep Your Metabolism Strong At Every Age
Your metabolism is not fixed, it responds to how you live each day.
Metabolism is not just about burning calories. It is the sum of every chemical process that keeps you alive, from digesting food to repairing cells. In Ayurveda, this vital force is governed by agni, the body's digestive and metabolic fire. According to Dr Partap Chauhan, world-renowned Ayurvedacharya, Founder and Director, Jiva Ayurveda, and author, keeping your agni steady is the key to energy, immunity, and healthy ageing. The good news is that Ayurveda offers simple yet effective ways to keep this internal fire strong, no matter your age.
Here are Dr Chauhan's 7 ways to keep your metabolism strong:
Sipping a glass of warm water in the morning wakes up your digestion and helps flush out waste.
Eat According To Your Dosha
Understanding whether your body type is Vata, Pitta, or Kapha allows you to choose foods that balance your system instead of slowing it down.
Include Digestive Spices
Cumin, ginger, black pepper, and cinnamon are known to kindle agni and support nutrient absorption.
Avoid Overeating
Leave some space in your stomach after meals. This prevents sluggish digestion and keeps your energy stable.
Stay Active Throughout the Day
Gentle yoga, walking, or even household chores can keep your metabolism from getting lazy.
Manage Stress Naturally
Practices like meditation, pranayama, and spending time in nature can prevent stress from disturbing your metabolic balance.
Eat Your Largest Meal at Midday
That's when agni is naturally strongest, making it easier for your body to digest heavier foods.
Your metabolism is not fixed, it responds to how you live each day. By tuning into your body's signals, eating mindfully, and embracing these time-tested Ayurvedic habits, you give your agni the chance to work at its best. With steady care, it is possible to keep your inner fire strong at 20, 40, or 70, and enjoy the vitality that comes with it.
