Obesity basically involves excess accumulation of body fat. It is just not a cosmetic concern as it can lead to a number of other complicated health issues such as high blood pressure, heart ailments and more. Obesity can also increase the chances for certain kincs of Cancers.
As we grow older, it becomes even more challenging to manage your weight or lose that excess fat through a diet and exercise plan. Many of us may still choose to ignore the excessive weight. However, this is not the way it is meant to be treated. The various natural therapies target the exercise-resistant fat based on a technique to ignite your digestive fire. The basic principles of Ayurveda are based on finding a perfect balance between the mind and the soul. When you are mindful, you are likely watchful of your weight.
Causes: There can be a lot of factors leading to obesity. Some main reasons can be: Genetic, eating at untimely intervals, eating before the digestion of the previous food has taken place, overeating, unhealthy lifestyle, lack of exercise, sleeping during the day or excess sleep and taking a bath right after having your meal, medication or certain diseases like hypothyroidism, PCOS, insulin resistance or more.
Treatment: As per Ayurveda, Obesity involves an excess of Kapha Dosha in the body. Although it might not be the main reason leading to over weight but it certainly is an important factor.
At Olivia Ayurveda Clinic, our aim is to focus on long term weight management rather short term goals by making lifestyle changes.
