You Eat Every Day… So Why Does Your Body Still Feel Weak?

Most of us don’t skip meals.

We eat home food.

We even try to “eat healthy.”

And yet—there’s tiredness that doesn’t go away. Hair that keeps falling. Body pain for no clear reason. Children falling sick again and again.This usually isn’t because you’re doing something wrong.It’s because your body is quietly lacking certain nutrients—the kind of deficiency that doesn’t shout, but slowly drains you.

Our elders didn’t name vitamins, but they understood balance. Let’s go back to what Indian homes have always done.

Constant Tiredness Isn’t Normal (It’s Often Iron)

If you feel tired even after rest, or get dizzy when you stand up, iron could be low.

Earlier, iron came from daily habits:

• Food cooked in iron vessels
• A bit of jaggery after meals
• Greens added without thinking twice

Try this:

 

Cook dal or sabzi in an iron kadai. 

• Eat 1–2 small pieces of jaggery. 
• Soak a few black raisins overnight. 
• Add lemon to meals.

Do this quietly for a few weeks—you’ll feel the difference before you see it in reports.

Forgetfulness, Tingling, Low Mood? Don’t Ignore It

Many Indians live with low Vitamin B12 for years and don’t realise it.

It shows up as:

• Numbness in hands or feet
• Brain fog
• Low energy even when everything “looks fine”

Indian food wisdom:

• Homemade curd. 
• Fermented foods like idli or dosa. 
• Ghee in small amounts.
• Sprouts.

Food won’t replace medicine if levels are very low—but it supports your body every single day.

Sunlight Is a Nutrient Too

We live in a sunny country, yet most of us don’t get enough Vitamin D.

Our elders stood in the morning sun without overthinking it.

Try this: 

• 20 minutes of morning sunlight on arms and legs. 
• Move your body. 
• Use ghee.
•  Eat ragi and sesame seeds.

Sometimes healing is that simple.

Body Pain, Cramps, Weak Bones Aren’t “Just Age”

Calcium and magnesium deficiency often get blamed on age or work stress.But your body may simply need:

• Ragi
• Til
• Soaked almonds
• Greens

Slow foods. Steady results.

Weak Immunity Starts in the Gut

If digestion isn’t right, nutrients won’t absorb—no matter how healthy your food is.

Indian homes always protected digestion: 

• Jeera water
• Buttermilk
• Simple khichdi
• Ginger after meals

Ayurveda says all disease begins with weak digestion—and it’s still true.

Final Thought

You don’t always need new supplements.Sometimes you just need old habits, done consistently.

Our kitchens have always known how to heal. We just forgot to listen.

Stay safe! Stay healthy!
