Ayurveda treatment for Obesity

Obesity is a complex condition involving an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity isn’t just a cosmetic concern. This condition can increase your risk of other diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers.

There are numerous reasons why some people gain weight. It is usually the result of a combination of inherited factors, combined with the environment and personal diet and exercise choices. Even modest weight loss can improve or prevent the health problems associated with obesity. Dietary changes, increased physical activity and behaviour changes can help you lose weight. With the right guidance, one can lose weight and regain lost health and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Causes of Obesity

Obesity develops gradually from poor diet and lifestyle choices, and also result from other factors. A few causes of obesity are:

• Eating junk food frequently
• Avoiding physical activity
• Family history
• Surroundings
• Metabolism
• Medical terms-conditions
• Medications

Symptoms of Obesity

There are no specific symptoms of overweight and obesity. The signs of overweight and obesity include a high body mass index (BMI) and an unhealthy body fat distribution that can be estimated by measuring your waist circumference. Obesity is diagnosed when your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher. To determine your body mass index, divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared.

The Ayurvedic Explanation

According to Ayurveda, obesity begins with the intake of incorrect food or the development of improper dietary habits and lifestyle that result in problems with the digestive fire, which in turn increases ama (bio-toxins).

Ama disturbs metabolic processes to form more fatty tissue (Meda Dhatu Agni) and blocks the formation of the furthermost tissues such as ashti (bones). The poorly formed tissue layers increase unwanted meda dhatu (fats) and cause disturbances in the functions of kapha.

When ama blocks the channels of all body tissues, this creates an imbalance in vata. Vata keeps stimulating the central digestive fire (jatharagni), which causes an increase in appetite so the person eats more and more. However, due to meda dhavagni mandya (weak fat metabolism), improper or abnormal meda dhatu is formed, which is the root cause of obesity.
