Overcoming Tiredness

Ayurveda Tips for Self Care
Our bodies are built for routine, according to Ayurveda. Being overweight; lacking the motivation to exercise; the desire to sleep excessively; and feeling heavy, sluggish and lazy are very often connected to an imbalance in the body, known as a "Kapha imbalance" (due to excessive Kapha).

Kapha is the water principle in Ayurveda. It is the energy humour that combines the elements of earth and water. It is the energy that causes heaviness, fluidity, liquidity, lubrication, secretions and bodily fluids. And the presence of Kapha in the body is heightened or most active between the hours of 6 am and 10 am, and between 6 pm and 10 pm, and during these hours it can be more difficult to exercise due to fatigue.

Everyone has Kapha in the body, albeit in varying proportions. The proportions vary according to our body constitution, our diet, our lifestyle, and even the times of the day. When Kapha is more active in the body, i.e. between 6 and 10, that is the time that it is most difficult to exercise and for that reason, we must go against Kapha in order to counterbalance it. Then only we can reduce its grip on the body and mind.


To reduce the grip of Kapha, schedule your workout everyday between 6 am and 10 am, religiously. A second workout before dinner, between 6 pm and 8 pm, is also beneficial for quicker weight loss. Working out in the morning is better, from an Ayurvedic perspective. But in the final analysis, we must be objective driven. The idea of working out between 6 am and 10 am is to strengthen vata (movement) and pitta (fire) and thereby diminish the grip of kapha (laziness). This is the Ayurveda Mindset behind working out in a nutshell.
