Tag: Stress and weight gain

According to a study conducted by the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, prolonged calorie restriction can lower your resting metabolic rate, making it harder to lose weight over time. This seemingly counterintuitive phenomenon can be frustrating for anyone diligently trying to manage their weight.

According to ancient Ayurvedic principles, both ashwagandha and shatavari are considered potent adaptogens that can assist with balance in the body, including weight management. Determining which is best for weight gain, ashwagandha or shatavari, depends heavily on the underlying cause of being underweight—be it stress-related or a metabolic issue.
