According to Ayurveda, the best time for physical exercise is late morning or before noon. 🌞 Regular exercise is particularly important as we age; if we don't exercise, our muscles and bones can start to deteriorate as early as age 35. However, with regular exercise, we can actually be healthier and stronger at 80 than we were at 25! 💪
Exercise is also highly effective at combating stress and preventing stress-related diseases. 😌 It's important to note, though, that we should not push ourselves too hard, as this can have the opposite effect. Ayurveda suggests exercising at around 50% of our capacity. 👍 While interpretations vary, I believe that exercise should always feel good both during and after the activity—it should be a source of joy, not a chore. 😊
To maintain strength, it is essential to incorporate a variety of exercise types: strength training to prevent loss of muscle and bone density, cardio workouts for heart, blood vessel, and lung health, and activities like dance or ball sports to enhance coordination between the mind and body. 🏋️♂️💓🕺
If you're interested, I offer Ayurvedic health consultations that include a personalised training program. 📅 This service can also be arranged online if you do not reside in Gothenburg. 🌍
