HEART

The Ayurvedic Path to Heart Health: Balancing Doshas and Emotions

In Ayurveda, heart wellness is deeply intertwined with physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The heart is seen as the seat of consciousness and emotions, closely linked with the mind and the flow of Prana, the life force. Maintaining a balance of the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—is essential for heart health, as is a sattvic diet, regular exercise, and stress management. Herbs like Arjuna and practices like Pranayama further support heart function. Ayurveda’s holistic approach emphasizes prevention, encouraging a lifestyle that nurtures both the body and soul for lasting heart health.

What causes Heart Problems?

  • Unhealthy Diet: Consuming a diet high in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, and sodium can lead to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, increasing the risk of coronary artery disease and heart attacks.
  • Lack of Physical Activity: A sedentary lifestyle contributes to obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels, all of which are significant risk factors for heart disease.
  • Smoking and Alcohol Use: Smoking damages the lining of the arteries, promotes plaque buildup, and raises blood pressure, significantly increasing the risk of heart disease. Excessive alcohol consumption can also lead to high blood pressure, heart failure, and irregular heartbeats.
  • High Blood Pressure: Hypertension forces the heart to work harder to pump blood, which can weaken the heart muscle and increase the risk of heart failure, heart attacks, and strokes.
  • High Cholesterol Levels: Elevated levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol can lead to the formation of plaques in the arteries, narrowing them and restricting blood flow, which can result in heart disease.
  • Obesity: Being overweight or obese increases the likelihood of developing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, all of which are major risk factors for heart disease.
  • Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels and the nerves that control the heart, significantly increasing the risk of heart disease.
