ABSTRACT
Today we will talk about obesity or overweight. Before talking about this topic, I would like to ask you a question, “is obesity related to your beauty or smartness only?” No, whenever obesity comes, along with it comes unwanted symptoms, which is harmful to our health. Obesity is a lifestyle disorder. According to Ayurveda, sthoulya comes under Ashtanindta purush. Acharya Charak described it as Sleshmaja Nanatmaja vyadhi. Sharangdhar has described Sthoulya as medo dosha. Excessive indulgence in sleshma aahar sevan (fatty food), avyayam (Lack of exercise), diwaswapna (daytime sleeping), produces annaras which is partially metabolised and remains sweet as ama. This anna rasa by virtue of its Sneha guna transforms into vikrit meda and kapha..this formed abnormal medas which sluggish the medodhatawagni and large quantity of Medas(fat) in our body.
