Every weight gain & loss story is unique

We want to gain everything in life except weight. This is want everyone wants to get rid of- extra fat on body. 

​Problems with weight have been around for decades now. Women, unlike men, are more prone to develop ‘issues’ with weight as a beauty concern.  It is now believed that ‘lean’ bodies are perfect and healthy and desirable.  And, ‘fat’ bodies are imperfect, unhealthy and undesirable, moreover they are miserable.  It is now more important the way a woman ‘look’ rather than if she is healthy or not.

​Read the following article form Dr. Samarth Rao as he speak about his result oriented Ayurveda approach to obesity.

Overview 
Considered to be a biggest health risk, obesity is the leading cause of preventable deaths around the globe.  According to a recent study, one third of the population is suffering from obesity.  After the U.S.A. and China, India is the third obese country in the world. Moreover, one in five Indian men or women is either overweight or obese. Currently, approximately more than 30 million Indians are overweight. The primary health sector in India and Ayurvedic doctors together can effectively collaborate and manage the health risk and global burden of obesity in urban and rural areas. Significant numbers of researches and studies have been conducted to understand the role of Ayurveda in managing metabolic and life style disorders. Moreover, the preventive aspects of Ayurveda and effective Ayurvedic medicines have much to offer in this regard. 

Obesity as told in Ayurveda 
Obesity is nothing but accumulation of excessive fat in the body which causes adverse effects on the functional aspects of the body. In Ayurveda, obesity is called as Atisthaulya where all the three doshas are vitiated along with high Kapha vitiation.Ayurveda defines Stoulaya (obesity) as accumulation of excess bodily fat and Kapha dosha in the body.  Improper ahara (diet) and vihara (lifestyle) are the two primary areas which cause Stoulya.

​The main reasons for accumulation is due to a slow, stagnant and lethargic lifestyle comprising of a lack of body movement activities such as regular brisk walks and exercises.  This is further aggravated by a sedentary lifestyle such as a desk based job or sleeping during the day time.  Consuming foods that increase kapha dosha and excessively consuming foods tend to contribute to excessive body fat accumulation.  Excess of these digested foods having madhura (sweet) vipaka (end portion of digestion) leads to a state where further dhatu (tissue) formations are arrested due to a excess influx of this Mahura vipaka circulating in the system and obstructing tissue nutrition channels. This left over Madhura vipaka and rasa dhatu then easily converts into Medha dhatu (adipose fat tissue) and gets accumulated in the body. 

Management
​1. Panchakarma- depending upon dosha analysis by the doctor 
2. Interntal Medications- such as Guggulu preparations, etc. 
3. Dietary restriction
4. Daily exercise plan
5. Udvartana - Powder Massage
6. Thermopacks (specially for tummy reduction)

Pathya (what to eat)
​Dietary modalities such as Langhana, herbal combination of foods, and Vyayama are proved remedies to control and reduce weight.  In modern nutrition, eating less calorie diet is the key to lose weight.

​Though Ayurveda lists pathyas to curb appetite and reduce excess fat accumulation, there are modern day difficulties in following the sthoulya pathya.

Ayurveda recommends the following pathya for a sthoulya patient: Langhana (fasting), old bamboo rice, kodarva, syamaka, nivara, priyangu, barley (yava), kulattha, gram (canaka), lentil, mudga, pigeon peas, honey, poppy of paddy edibles and juices having bitter tastes, buttermilk, liquor, cingata variety of fishes, fried brinjal, triphala, guggula, lauha bhasma, trikatu, mustard oil, cardamom, all dry materials, sesame oil, leafy vegetables, poultice of agara, warm water, silajatu, drinking water before meals.
