Why no evening work outs

 

The Hidden Downsides of Evening Workouts"

The period from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. is dominated by Vata, which governs movement and creativity.

By evening, from 6 p.m. , the body starts preparing for rest, & it’s time to wind down.

Evening workouts can disrupt the natural flow of energy, causing imbalance.

" I can't wake up early in the morning - I will not get sleep even if I go to bed early "

So are you a night owl?

Definitely evening workouts are not for you!!!

Exercising too late in the day may interfere with the body’s ability to enter a state of rest.

Evening workouts can increase Vata and Pitta energy, leading to restlessness, difficulty falling asleep, and disturbed sleep cycles.

How to know hair follicles are active or not?

 Many men during online consultation used to ask me  " How will I know, if my hair follicle is active or not? " Here are a few ways 👇 Observe Hair Growth: If you see fine, short hair (vellus hair) or longer, thicker hair (terminal hair) in the area, follicles are active. However, if the area is smooth and shiny without any hair growth, the follicles may be inactive. Examine Scalp Health: A healthy scalp, with adequate hydration and minimal flakiness, is more likely to support active follicles. Redness, inflammation, or excessive dryness can indicate issues affecting follicle activity. Check for Signs of Miniaturization: When follicles are active but weakened, they may produce thinner, shorter hairs. This process, known as follicular miniaturization, is often a sign of conditions like androgenic alopecia. Pull Test: Gently tug on a small section of hair.

Life is feeling like a hell😔" Manju 40-year, had been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for almost six years.  Her symptoms were particularly severe in her knees and wrists, where she experienced intense pain, swelling, and morning stiffness.
