What is Obesity?

High intake of high-fat, fried foods and a sedentary lifestyle result in excessive fat getting blocked in various body channels. Obesity, in turn, causes several metabolic disturbances such as hypertension, diabetes, irregular digestion, etc. It can also affect social life. Excess body weight, if not brought down, can lead to obesity.

According to Ayurveda, weight gain occurs due to excess accumulation in the body's three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, with Kapha being the most significant. An increase in Kapha results in excess accumulation of Ama, toxins, and Medha Dhatu, or fat, within the body. This, combined with the Kapha Dhatu imbalance, leads to metabolic function disruption, resulting in weight gain.

Common Causes of Weight Gain

Several reasons, including lack of physical activity, an unhealthy lifestyle, and poor eating habits, cause weight gain. Some of the significant causes of obesity include:

Overeating: Eating more calories than the body's physical requirements can lead to fat accumulation.

Unhealthy Foods: Sugar, saturated fats, and processed foods can disturb metabolism and increase Kapha dosha.

Irregular meals: Going for long periods without eating for more extended periods can compromise the body’s metabolism.

Lack of Physical Activity: This is one of the biggest reasons for weight gain in many people. Even simple weight lifting or walking can activate Agni (digestive fire) and reduce Kapha, promoting weight loss or management.

Stress Eating: Sustained stress affects cortisol levels in the body. High cortisol levels can stimulate excess fat deposition, especially in the belly region. Emotional eating often results in consuming calorie-dense comfort foods.

Hormonal Imbalances: Imbalances in the proper hormonal levels, as observed from diseases like PCOS, Hypothyroid or Insulin Resistance, can go a long way in hindering an individual from losing weight.

Genetics: If obesity runs in your family, you may be at a high risk, too. However, you can maintain a healthy weight by following a balanced diet.

Sleep Deprivation: Lack of sleep can disrupt the hormones that lead to excessive food intake.

Signs and Symptoms of Obesity

Weight gain doesn't always occur immediately but can lead to noticeable symptoms, including:

Do you have any of the following symptoms?

• Increased fatigue or sluggishness
• Difficulty in performing routine activities
• Shortness of breath during mild exertion
• Swelling or puffiness, especially around the face and abdomen
• Joint pain or discomfort, particularly in the knees and lower back
• Persistent cravings for unhealthy foods
• Feeling bloated or heavy after meals

Triphala: Known as a unique blend of three fruits (Amla, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki), Triphala is helpful in digestion and detoxification. It removes toxins from the body, boosting metabolism and promoting weight loss.

Garcinia Cambogia (Vrikshamla): This fruit contains hydroxy citric acid (HCA), which helps control appetite and prevent fat deposition.

Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera): Stress induces weight gain in many individuals, and Ashwagandha is a good remedy for decreasing cortisol while improving emotional health.

Punarnava (Boerhavia Diffusa): Water retention and bloating can be easily treated by this herb, acting as a natural diuretic.

Fenugreek (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum): Fenugreek seeds contain high amounts of soluble fibre, which promotes fullness and helps control the urge to eat.

Turmeric (Curcuma Longa): Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is known to have fat-burning and anti-inflammatory effects that assist the body in healthy metabolism.

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum Verum): Cinnamon can help with blood sugar levels, reduce cravings, and allow for fat burning.
