Question by Kaushiki - May 24, 2022Hindi

Dear Roopashree, What kind of diet will you advise in this excessive heat? Also, are there yoga asanas that can keep us cool? Thank you.

Ans:

That’s a great question!

Nature always has a way of keeping us healthy and safe. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are the proof of the same.

However, we have moved away from all things natural and most of our diet includes either grains or packaged foods.

The simplest way is to consume all fruits -- whether its mangoes or watermelon -- and vegetables that come during the season in moderate amounts.

In vegetables, bottle gourd, cucumber, pumpkin, coconut all have a cooling effect on your stomach.

In greens, mint and coriander are your best friends to deal with the hot season.

Make home-made aam panna. Have a sattu drink in the morning and chaas in the afternoon to beat the heat!

You can practice Sheetali pranayam in the morning/evening for its cooling effect.

Question by Kavita - Dec 16, 2021Hindi

Dear Roopashree, I am an excessively sweaty person and it is embarrassing. Any kind of the smallest exertion and I am sweating. Once I cook a meal, I have to have a bath and change my clothes. I always have to have a towel/hanky around to wipe my sweat. When I am out, I am always sweating. My family is like this too. I have no health issues. How can I solve this problem and sweat less? Kavita

Ans:

While sweating is a good phenomenon as it releases toxins from your body and allows your skin to breathe, excessive sweating could be an indicator of Pitta imbalance.

You can verify the same by visiting an Ayurveda practitioner, Kavita.

It could also be triggered by stress or anxiety, therefore regular exercises and pranayams like Anulom Vilom are advisable.

As far as your diet is concerned, avoid excessive fatty foods and consume a balanced diet with more fresh fruits and vegetables than fried and spicy meals.

Another good remedy is chandan lep (sandalwood paste) that you can make at home using the chandan stick.

Apply it on your forehead to balance the pitta element and bring calmness to the mind.
