Question by Sweeta - Oct 05, 2021Hindi

Dear Roopashree,My name is Sweeta. I am 24 years old. My height is 5.4 feet. My weight is 52 kg. I am from Assam.My problem is that I have an apple-shaped body -- heavy breast, size 36 and thin legs, thin arms, slim hips.My upper body is too heavy and lower body is thin.This happened after I left gymming.I tried working out at home but see no difference.I don’t know which bra to wear as my breasts look unnatural.I am going through lack of confidence as people body shame me a lot of the time,I have belly fat too.And the last thing is I am pure vegetarian so I can’t go for non-vegetarian diet.Waiting for your kind and valuable response,Sweeta Sharma

Ans:

Our body weight and shape depends on various factors including our physical activity, diets, daily routines, age etc.

We often focus on the first two and end up disturbing the inner balance of our hormones and other bodily functions.

Therefore, you should first focus on regaining your inner body balance, both mental and physical.

Practice surya namaskar daily -- the vinyasa form.

Learn from professional teachers and avoid immature videos if you haven't practiced yoga before.

Since you have been working out, focus on strengthening your core -- try planks.

Also, start breathing exercises, especially Kapalbhati pranayam.

Losing or gaining weight in the right places will happen once your body is healthy and balanced.

Vegetarian diet has enough sources of proteins. Add more sprouts and legumes to your diet. Also, eat lots of salads; this will provide high fibre to ensure your digestive health.
