My age is 63 ...I am maintaining a healthy life ..my routine starts with 4 am...go for a brisk walk of 11000 steps in 90 minutes and 500+ kal burning followed by 25 minutes strong exercise..is it ok or i should reduce it.... sometimes I feel tired ... and yes Sunday is off for me..I am vegetarian

Ans: That’s impressive.
Yes, please reduce your steps to about 8000 and your exercise to about 20 minutes and see the difference. With age, most of the times, less is more as long as you are doing physical movements throughout the day.

Ans: Hi, You are dot on when it comes to eating healthy and even the workout plans. However, if not done at the right time during the day, they can rather be harmful to the body. Our body functions are regulated by the solar & lunar cycle during the day. As the Sun controls our digestion, it is advisable to eat during the day hours and very light after sunset, especially no later than 8PM. Secondly, the day is also governed by the three doshas - Kapha, Pitta and Vata - therefore our workout, sleep, food regime should be inline with these systems. Since you have a family history, it is advisable to meet a Ayurvedic practitioner to understand these cycles and plan your day accordingly.
