I am a man of 40 yrs of age and after having examined by blood pressure I am advised to avoid salt completely as far as possible or to consume salt added to vegetables while they are being cooked and not taking extra while they are served on the plate! I am a stauch vegetarian.I am ready to do that but salt contains iodine. Shall I not be iodine- defficient lly salt is looked down upon but if salt needs to be avoided where to get iodine and minerals from? Obviously from vegetables/milk. Hence please guide me regarding nutrition for me. My weight is 59kg. I have one more disorder regarding digestion. My digestive power is weak. I suffer from “Agni Mandya”.I can not digest heavy,pungent and oily foods.If consumed I have to go to latrine several times. Many times I pass sticky excretion. Even normally,I have to go to latrine rather often. I always feel worried about food. Will a particular food suit me?I have to think hundred times when I eat outside. I feel terrified when I eat restaurant food. I feel extremely depressed when I see many others enjoying oily and spicy foods and remaining healthy. My wife gets irritated due to my fussy attitude about food!
This is my constitution. I also have “cough-prakruti”.I do regular exercise of 30 suryanamaskars,”baithaks”(sitting down and standing up quickly )(I dont know how to explain it English)
