Ayurvedic Treatment for Obesity in Hyderabad
What is Obesity?
Obesity is when our body weight goes higher than what is considered healthy for a given height. The obesity levels are indicated by Body Mass Index (BMI), which is a useful measure for body weight. Obesity (also referred to as Overweight) is a public health issue, which is observed in adults and children. Millions of people today are affected globally. The WHO data indicates that India ranks 3rd in the Global Obesity index.
According to Ayurveda, one of the primary contributing factors to Obesity is Vata dosha, which resides in the stomach and maintains digestive fire (Agni). With this condition, the individual’s digestion is hampered so that there are increased levels of fat (medo dhatu) produced, without the other dhatus getting nourished, thus resulting in weight gain.
