Ans: Hello. The best indicator of obesity is usually mid section girth, that is the total measurement around belly just above the level of the belly button. Try to keep this as low as possible. This girth is also a good indicator for possible fatty liver. Increase here also causes bloating and burping. Other causes are poor digestion and GERD. Avoid high fat/refined carb meals. Avoid sugars and caffeinated beverages like coffee, tea and cola, If not better may please see a physician once.

Ans: Hi Balkar, this would require a review of your diet, and you can consult a dietician or your physician to review your diet and gut health. The addition of carminative herbs like ginger, fennel, and clove can also help. In terms of yoga, postures like Pavanmuktasana or Apanasana and Sarvangasana can be helpful. Since bloating is linked to increased stress levels, relaxing practices like 1 min in child pose, 3 mins in Shavasana, 5-10 mins of Pranayama and 5-10 mins of Meditation should also be included to start with. Wish you all the best.

Ans: Hi Rajesh, sorry to hear about your problem. I hope you're taking due treatment for Acid Reflux. One of the most effective yoga techniques for GERD is Deep Diaphragmatic Breathing. You should practice it for at least 10-12 minutes a day on an empty stomach (you'll find a follow-along practice video on my channel, specifically for acidity). Practising it twice a day is also good. Secondly, you should carefully identify trigger foods that aggravate your acidity; some common ones are tomatoes, caffeine, and chocolate. By temporarily eliminating trigger foods, you give your body time to heal. These foods can always be added back. In terms of sleep, do not sleep on a full stomach, have a light meal, eat at least a few hours before sleeping (in other words, don't eat close to bedtime), sleep on the right side and get yourself an elevated wedge pillow which will help prevent reflux at night. These pillows are easily available online. The traditional practice of walking 100 steps after eating is also worth exploring. All the best!
