Curbs Cravings and Late-Night Snacking:

Quality sleep improves respiratory health, helping reduce weight and the risk of sleep apnea.


Boosts Cognitive Function for Better Choices: 


Sleep deprivation leads to poor food choices, typically high in carbs and calories. 


Quality sleep keeps your mind clear and helps you make healthier food choices.

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.

Consuming bread, especially with butter or jam, can overload the digestive system, as it is heavy and difficult to digest. This can lead to the formation of ama (toxins), which Ayurveda identifies as the root cause of many diseases. Refined bread, in particular, i...
