Let's Check Some Facts
What is Obesity?
Obesity is the condition in which abnormal growth of adipose tissues occurs either due to enlargement of fat cells or due to an increase in the number of fat cells.
A combination of the above two also is possible.
Obesity is usually expressed in Body Mass Index (BMI).
If BMI is above 30 we can call it obesity. If BMI is between 25 and 30 the condition is termed as Overweight.
In the android type of obesity, fat distribution is mostly abdominal and in Gynoid type of obesity, fat distribution is more peripheral.
Ayurvedic concept of Obesity?
Obesity or sthoulya refers to a rise in body weight above the limits of skeletal and physical needs caused by an excess buildup of body fat.
Ayurveda views Obesity or sthoulya as one among the Santarpanottha vikaras or diseases due to excessive consumption of excess calories and one among the ashta ninditikara bhavas.
A person with extensive growth of fat and flesh, pendulous buttocks, belly and breasts, along with a disfigured appearance, is called Atisthula, and the condition is termed Atisthaulya or Obesity.
Obesity is defined as the excess accumulation of energy in the body in the form of fat.
Obesity is an increase in BMI (Body Mass Index); more than 30 kg /m2 is also used for diagnosing Obesity.
Ayurveda considers heredity components (Bijadosha), medas (fatty tissue) and kapha dosha, besides dietetic, regimen and psychological factors as the causative factors.
Other than these, Dhatvagni Mandya (Weak digestive fire at the tissue level) is considered to be the main cause besides other components in the etiopathology of Obesity or sthoulya.
What is an ideal weight according to Ayurveda?
Unlike modern medicine, which often relies on Body Mass Index (BMI) to assess overweight and Obesity, Ayurveda doesn’t confine to an ideal weight system, as it varies from individual to individual. Instead, it focuses on achieving a healthy weight specific to each individual’s unique constitution.
How to know the ideal weight?
Body Mass Index (BMI): This popular medical screening tool calculates your body fat percentage by dividing your height by your weight. It is calculated by dividing the height in metres (m2) by the weight in kilograms (kg).
Waist circumference: Waist circumference can be an additional indicator of potential health risks. However, this tool should be interpreted by a medical practitioner in the context of your health profile.
The concept of ideal weight is frequently misguided as there is no so-called optimal weight.
It is always recommended to remain healthy rather than going behind this idealism and concentrating only on a number on the weight scale.
Before adhering to an “ideal weight,” consider the following important points.
Each individual is different so is their ideal weight. This should be assessed after considering their metabolic rates, heart rate, body composition, and underlying medical history.
A healthy weight is not the same thing for different people.
Consider your health first, as reaching for a perfect weight might not be a sustainable or all-encompassing strategy. Instead, stick to living with a healthy lifestyle.
A balanced diet rich in low-density foods which include low-calorie, low-fat, high-protein diets, can assist you in reaching a healthy weight and general state of well-being.
Sticking to a consistent routine with regular exercise helps in maintaining general fitness.
A good night’s sleep can be the foundation of both physical and mental health.
Also, effective stress management techniques such as Yoga asanas, meditation and pranayama can boost your success rates in weight loss.
Seek advice from registered practitioners, as this helps you get authentic remedies tailored to your needs and helps you achieve an optimal state of health.
These are some reliable strategies for figuring out the appropriate weight; however, keep in mind that each person’s results may differ.
Remember, the best way to achieve and retain excellent health over the long term is to prioritise well-being and healthy lifestyle choices by recalling them.
Major Causes of Obesity
There is much reason for overweight. Some of them are related to lifestyle. Some of them are medical problems
- A major cause is eating habits. (Eating in between meals, over intake of sweets, refined foods and fats)
- Composition of the diet
- Periodicity of the diet.
- Sedentary lifestyle.
- Psychosocial factors lie emotional disturbances which can lead to overeating.
- Familial factors.
- Hormonal abnormalities like Cushing’s syndrome.
- Lack of health awareness.
- Use of drugs like corticosteroids.
- Genetic factors.
- Smoking
- Alcoholism
Symptoms Of Obesity
Increased BMI body size or weight, and lack of body flexibility are the major symptoms of Obesity.
Obesity and lifestyle
Obesity has a close relation with lifestyle.
If there is regular physical activity, it is highly protective against obesity.
Sedentary jobs, inactive recreation such as watching television or playing computer games, smartphone addictions, lack of playgrounds, general laziness etc. are contributory to the speedy development of obesity.
Adoption of unhealthy dietary habits like snacks culture, unremitting use of caffeinated beverages etc are other lifestyle factors related to obesity.
What are the Complications of Obesity or Diseases Associated with Obesity
1. Heart disease
Coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of death in the World.
Obesity is one such cause that increases the risk of heart disease by increasing blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides.
Obese individuals have a higher fatty tissue deposition, which increases vascular resistance and might put extra pressure on the heart to pump blood throughout the body.
2. Stroke
Stroke is a condition that has a devastating effect on the body when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts.
Obesity could lead to an increased risk of stroke due to increased blood pressure and cholesterol.
3. Type 2 diabetes
Being obese is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes and prediabetes as it increases both insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction.
This is especially true when fat is distributed more in the abdomen and intra-abdominal area, as well as when it is stored in the liver and muscles.
4. High blood pressure (hypertension).
Increased visceral body fat puts undue pressure on the arteries, causing an increased blood pressure.
Moreover, Obesity causes an increased inflammatory response in the body, which might damage the blood vessels, contributing to increased blood pressure.
5. Cancer
Increased risks for certain cancers can be linked to Obesity, including colon, kidney, oesophageal and prostate cancer in men and post-menopausal breast, ovarian, uterine and gallbladder cancer in women.
6. High cholesterol
Increased fatty tissues in the body lead to increased amounts of free fatty acids for delivery to the liver.
Being insulin-resistant also increases the levels of free fatty acids in the blood.
This might cause increased inflammation in the body and can lead to low HDL cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides (dyslipidemia).
7. Gallbladder disease
Obesity leads to fat infiltration into multiple organs, and infiltrated adipose tissue releases a large number of cytokines that cause organs like the gallbladder to malfunction.
8. Sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition that causes you to stop breathing repeatedly during sleep. Obesity is a major risk factor for sleep apnea, as it can narrow the airway.
9. Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis that causes pain and stiffness in your joints. Obesity increases your risk of osteoarthritis by putting extra stress on your joints.
10. Gout
Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden and severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness in one or more joints. Obesity is a risk factor for gout, as it can increase your levels of uric acid in the blood.
11. Mental health problems
Obesity is linked to an increased risk of depression and anxiety. Excess body fat and unhealthy eating habits raise inflammatory markers. This increased inflammation can lead to a higher chance of developing depression, and it also plays a role in immune system function.
Other major risks and conditions due to overweight
- Increased morbidity
- Hyperlipidaemia
- Polycystic ovarian disease and infertility.
- Liver diseases like fatty liver
- Sexual problems like erectile dysfunction
- Joint diseases like osteoarthritis of knees, hips, and lumbar spine
- Low backache
- Varicose veins
- Abdominal hernia
- Depression and disability
- Social isolation
- Lower work performance
- Breathing disorders
- Cosmetic issues
- Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.
Ayurvedic Treatment for Obesity or Weight Loss Programme in Kerala
Ayurvedic Treatment for Weight loss is aimed to reduce excess weight
Ayurveda recommends ‘guru’ foods (foods which causes heaviness with even low quantity intake) in low quantities for an obese person.
Medicines and food which have the property to lean the body are to be given.
The wise use of Kashayas and Choorna which induce Agni Bala or digestive power can be used.
Externally rooksha treatments like Choorna pinda sweda, udwarthana etc can be used.
As supportive measure Yoga can be practiced along with internal and external medications.
The use of Kanmada Rasayana is advised in obesity.
Increase in Agni Bala, gradual diversion to a healthy diet and lifestyle is the method adopted.
Major treatment procedures to reduce weight are
- Udwarthana or powder massage
- Dhanyamla dhara
- Choorna pinda sweda
- Steam bath
- Yoga therapy
- Virechana
Udwarthana
Udwarthana or powder massage is the most effective external treatment to reduce weight.
Various medicine choornas are used for the purpose, mostly Kolakulathadi Choorna and Triphala Choorna.
In this procedure patient’s body is massaged in seven different positions by making him or her lie in a massage cot or droni.
Udwarthana is said to have the following properties.
- Reduces Kapha dosha
- Reduces medas or excess fat
- Make the body strong
- Give lustre to the skin
Normally one course of treatment includes seven days, and another course can be taken after a gap of one week.
It is proven to be the best procedure to reduce fat.
Udwarthana as a passive exercise can be used in dinacharya.
Earlier in households, the powder of green gram was used instead of bath soap.
It gives the dual result of the lustre of skin and reduction of fat.
We can use Triphala powder daily for 10-20 minutes for udwarthana.
This will help to keep the body healthy and prevents obesity.
Udwarthana massage is usually done in the Pratiloma direction or opposite to the direction of body hairs. This gives enough strokes on fat cells and helps to reduce them.
Udwarthana helps to soften the skin and removes the dead cells of the skin.
It improves blood circulation and helps to avoid bad odour too. It acts as a detoxifier too.
Our weight reduction programme is the best packaged Ayurvedic Treatment in Kerala for obesity.
Panchakarma therapies included in Ayurvedic weight reduction Treatment.
Vamana
Vamana helps in expelling the excess Kapha and Pitta from the body.
In Vamana fitness of the patient was taken with proper care, and cardiac and respiratory fitness were also done with proper measures.
After the Vamana procedure, significant results were observed, and there was a reduction in the weight of patients up to 7 kg.
The BMI of the patient was also reduced along with the skin fold measurements.
Just like after cutting a tree, its flowers, fruits, etc., get destroyed; in the same way, after doing proper Vamana Karma Kapha is eliminated
from the body, thus alleviating all the diseases produced due to
it. Madanaphala is best for Vamana Karma as it has very few complications.
Madhu and Saindhva do liquefaction and scraping of Kapha. Indrayava was also taken as it is the best therapeutic emetic agent with no complications.
Virechana
Virechana is defined as the removal of unwanted toxic materials from the body in a downward direction, i.e. through guide marga (anal way). Sthoulya is one of the santarpanjanyavyadhi and shows Bahudoshavastha.
Different shodhana modalities have been used for the treatment of sthoulya, such as virechana, basti, etc.
Virechana is easy among them and has fewer complications. Secondly, virechana is one of the aptarpantmak treatments for the santarpanjanya vyadhis.
Due to these reasons, virechana is a good procedure forthe treatment of sthoulya(Obesity), which gives the best results. Virechana can also be administered in Atisthoulyaupadravas.
Similarly, vataroga is mentioned in the upadravas of Ati Sthoulya.
There is a combination of meda, kapha and vata in the sthoulya; hence, virechana, with the help of the eranda tail, is administered.
Lekhana vasti
The basti is the panchakarma procedure where the formulated medications are pushed inside our body through anal opening, vaginal opening or through the urethral opening.
According to modern science, this can be compared with the enema procedure.
For the treatment of the sthoulya, lekhana basti is the preferable basti as in this type of Basti; the excessive doshas are scraped out of the body.
Use of Herbal formulations in Ayurvedic weight management
Various single drugs can be used to induce weight loss, including Guduchi, Vidanga, Musta, Guggulu, etc.
Also, Ayurveda has formulated certain formulations that aid in stimulating metabolism and aids in removing fatty deposits from liver cells.
Formulations such as Trikatu, Navak Guggulu, Triphala Guggulu, Vidangadi churn, Takrarishta, Navayasa laura, and Arogya Vardhini vati are some among them.
These herbs have been research-backed for their weight loss effects.
Musta (Cyperus rotundus)
Stimulates lipolysis in adipocytes, suggesting that this medicinal plant contains activators of β-adrenoreceptors (AR).
Various studies demonstrated that C. rotundus tuber extract can bind to these receptors and help to induce thermogenesis, thereby reducing weight gain.
Honey
Certain hormones such as leptin, ghrelin and peptide YY are recognised for their role in modulating satiety, appetite, calorie intake, energy expenditure and body weight.
There is little research evidence suggesting the influence of honey on appetite-regulating hormones, including leptin, ghrelin, and peptide YY. A recent study found that rats given honey had much lower levels of leptin than rats fed sucrose.
Similarly, as compared to a sucrose-containing meal, honey was found to delay postprandial ghrelin release and improve total peptide response in healthy adult individuals.
Honey’s fructose content may contribute to its ability to modulate appetite-regulating hormones.
Although the processes by which honey reduces weight gain are not entirely understood, current research suggests that honey may reduce weight gain by modulating appetite-regulating hormones such as leptin, ghrelin, and peptide YY.
Furthermore, based on data that revealed no significant difference in food efficiency ratio (FER) between sucrose- and honey-fed rats, lower food intake may contribute significantly to reduced weight gain in the honey-fed rats.
Fructose and oligosaccharides included in honey may also contribute to lower body weight and food intake in honey-fed rats.
Furthermore, existing information suggests that honey may help with body weight loss by reducing protein digestion and absorption while increasing faecal nitrogen excretion.
Given the overwhelming evidence that honey raises plasma antioxidants and reduces oxidative stress in tissues, the antioxidant action of honey may also contribute to reduced weight gain.
Guggulu
Guggulu encompasses Guggulsterone, a bioactive component that works as an antagonist at the nuclear receptor farnesoid x receptor (FXR), a critical transcriptional regulator for cholesterol and bile acid balance.
A recent study found that Guggulsterone increases the expression of the bile salt export pump (BSEP).
This rate-limiting efflux transporter removes cholesterol metabolites and bile acids from the liver.
This upregulation might be mediated by the activating protein 1 (AP-1) signalling pathway.
Possible pathways for Guggulsterone’s hypolipidemic action include FXR antagonism and increased BSEP expression.
Vidanga
Body weight growth, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, serum parameters, and myocardial oxidative stress levels were all examined.
ERE (Embelia ribes ethanol extract) had a protective effect against body weight growth, visceral fat buildup, and high blood pressure.
The extract administration resulted in a considerable drop in blood levels of leptin, insulin, glucose, total cholesterol, and triglycerides, whereas HDL-C levels improved.
Furthermore, ERE therapy reduced cardiac lipid peroxidation while increasing antioxidant levels in obese animals.
These findings indicated ERE’s anti-obesity potential by suppressing body weight growth, reducing lipids, improving insulin and leptin sensitivity, and increasing antioxidant defence.
How does ayurvedic treatment for weight loss work?
The Ayurvedic approach to Obesity has a different perspective.
Nidana parivarjana, or avoidance of causative factors, is considered to be the first line of approach.
The Ayurvedic treatment for Obesity in Kerala focuses on ‘Shamana’ (Palliative) treatment and ‘Samshodhana Chikitsa’ (Purificatory procedures), all strictly under the supervision of a Registered Ayurvedic Physician.
Shamana (Palliative) Treatment involves fasting or ‘Langham’, the use of digestives to augment fat metabolism or ‘Ama Pachan’, dry medicated powder massage or ‘Ruksha Udwartan’, consumption of a diet low in calories and high in nutrients, recommendation of physical exercises and mental work.
Samshodhana Chikitsa (Purificatory Procedures) includes ‘Panchakarma’ procedures such as therapeutic emesis or ‘Vaman’, therapeutic purgation or ‘Virechan’, medicated enema or ‘Lekhan Vasti’. These therapies should be done according to Vyadhibala
(strength of the disease)
and Dehabala (strength of the patient). Ayurveda emphasises the use of langhana and rukshana therapies as the more suitable management for Obesity.
Under langhana includes samshodhana and samshamana therapies. All obese patients with excess doshas and more strength should be treated with panchakarma therapies.
Including Vamana (Medicated Emesis),
Virechana (Medicated Purgation), Lekhana visit etc.
As a syndromic illness, Samshodhana treatment is highly suggested for obese individuals with stamina and power.
Ruksha, Ushna, and Tikta Basti (Enema with dry, hot, and bitter medications) are also recommended.
Ruksha Udvartana (Dry powder massage) is a Bahya Shodhana (External therapy) recommended for the treatment of Obesity.
The primary objective of obesity therapy is to alleviate Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, particularly Samana Vayu, Pachaka Pitta, and Kledaka Kapha (humours), as well as to reduce Medodhatu by raising Medodhatvagni. Administration-heavy ingredients that promote catabolism along with Vata-Kapha-Meda alleviating properties are considered ideal for Sanshamana therapy.
The usage of laghu (Light), Ushna (Hot), Ruksha(Dry), Tikshna (Sharp) properties etc. are suggested for Obesity management as they possess Lekhaniya (scraping action), Medonashaka, Kaphanashaka and Sthoulyahara actions.
Also, the administration of medicines also should be considered, i.e. intake of medicine before meals is insisted for Krishikarana (losing weight) purposes.
Drugs in Paste form are attributed to have Karshana (To reduce fat) and Durjara (Difficult to digest) properties and the same is advocated in the management of Obesity.
The use of Avishadkara, Mridu, and Sukhakara Aushada in gradually increasing doses with caution is advised for sthoulya management.
Furthermore, it has been emphasized to examine Agnibala (Strength of the Digestive fire), Dehabala, Doshabala (Strength of the vitiated bodily humors), and Vyadhibala before fixing the dose and length of therapy of Obesity.
Precautions to be taken before ayurvedic weight reduction Treatment
Speak with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner prior to beginning any Ayurvedic weight loss program. After evaluating your unique demands and state of health, they will decide if this strategy is best for you. The following general safety measures should be followed prior to beginning an Ayurvedic weight loss program:
Be truthful while discussing your medical background with your doctor. Let them know about any prescription drugs you use, any illnesses you may have, and any allergies you may have. They can use this information to develop a safe and efficient treatment plan for you.
Describe any recent wounds or surgeries:
Any recent operations or injuries should be disclosed to your practitioner as they may impact your eligibility for specific therapies.
Stop smoking and excessive alcohol intake:
Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption might impair the effectiveness of Ayurvedic treatments and be hazardous to your overall health.
Adjust your diet:
Dietary modifications are frequently included in an Ayurvedic weight loss plan. Your practitioner may advise you to adopt a specific diet based on your dosha (body type). This could include eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while minimising processed foods, sugary drinks, and harmful fats.
Manage stress:
Stress can promote weight gain and make it difficult to decrease weight. Ayurvedic practitioners frequently advocate stress-reduction strategies like yoga, meditation, and pranayama (breathing exercises) to reduce stress.
Be patient:
Ayurvedic weight loss is a slow process that prioritises long-term health and well-being over short cures. To see benefits, you must be patient and follow your treatment plan consistently.
Dos and Don’ts During Treatment
Do’s:
- Mild to moderate activity, depending on individual capabilities
- Regular 30-minute brisk morning walk
- Take low-fat, low-calorie foods
- Increase your protein intake to help you go longer periods without eating
- Instead of frying veggies, steam, boil, or bake them
- To avoid food cravings, eat often and in modest portions
- Drink skimmed milk rather than full milk
- For drinking, always use warm water
- Include lemon in your diet and beverages
- Consume nutritious meals including oatmeal, walnuts, salads, bitter gourd (Karela), drumstick (Shigru), barley (Yava), wheat, green gram (Moong dal), honey (Madhu), Indian gooseberry (Amla), pomegranate (Anar), snake gourd, and skimmed buttermilk
- Include cabbage in your everyday meals. It prevents the conversion of carbohydrates to fat.
Don’ts:
- Avoid sedentary behaviors
- Avoid oversleeping
- Avoid watching television when eating meals
- Avoid alcohol consumption and smoking
- Cut down vegetables high in carbohydrates, such as potatoes and grains
- Reduce increased consumption of sugary and sweet items, dairy, fried and fatty meals, fast food, and excessive salt.
Post-treatment Regimen
- Focus on whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
- Avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive amounts of added sugars and unhealthy fats.
- Staying hydrated can help control hunger and increase feelings of fullness.
- Pay attention to how much you’re eating, and use smaller plates or containers to help control portions.
- Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain by affecting hormones that regulate hunger and fullness.
- Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week.
- Consistency is the key. Weight loss requires making healthier choices most of the time, so aim for gradual and sustainable changes.
- Avoid fad diets. Rapid weight loss is often not sustainable and can lead to health problems.
Importance of consulting an Ayurvedic doctor before weight reduction treatment
Ayurveda is a science that focuses more on personalised approaches to every aspect of health in an individual.
This approach is necessary as it helps people get tailored weight loss treatments as each individual is different, so should their treatment.
It helps in identifying and addressing the root causes of imbalances, such as excess weight, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, or lifestyle factors.
Ayurvedic practitioners also consider holistic health assessment, addressing stress-related or emotional factors that may contribute to unhealthy eating habits or weight gain.
Ayurveda doctors help you follow specific dietary guidelines, herbal supplements, and lifestyle modifications to promote overall well-being. Ayurvedic weight reduction treatments typically emphasise natural and sustainable methods, including dietary changes, herbal formulations, and lifestyle adjustments.
Seeking advice from an Ayurvedic doctor helps prevent potential side effects and guides sustainable lifestyle changes that promote lasting weight management and overall well-being.
This personalised, holistic, and natural approach can lead to more effective and sustainable outcomes for health and wellness.
Importance of Diet and Excercise in Weight Reduction
This is evident from the reasons for obesity mentioned earlier.
As obesity is mostly a lifestyle disease proper diet and regular exercise, yoga and Ayurvedic regimen is very important in day-to-day life.
To maintain healthy weight corresponding to age and height all these things are to be followed judiciously.
Some natural methods of weight reduction are
- Daily intake of pure honey lightened with fresh water
- Use of buttermilk daily
- Use of Triphala powder daily with honey
- Use of fibre containing vegetables daily like the pith of plantain
- use of foods with rooksha quality like green gram, horse gram etc.
Avoiding or reducing non-vegetarian foods and switching to a vegetarian diet helps some to reduce weight.
Of course, it’s our care to our own body is the major thing which can prevent diseases especially lifestyle diseases.
Obesity due to lifestyle is also preventable and curable.
‘Where there is a will there is a way’.
How Should I maintain the weight after treatment, the importance of follow-ups
Maintaining an adequate weight following an ayurvedic weight loss treatment is often challenging and critical for preserving health benefits and avoiding weight rebound.
Here are some weight-maintaining tips and the significance of follow-ups:
Maintaining Weight:
- Follow a balanced diet rich in proteins and low on carbs
- Avoid sugary drinks
- Exercise regularly for at least 30 minutes
- Practice stress management techniques such as yoga asanas, meditation, and pranayama
- Eat mindfully, considering your appetite
- Stay away from hunger pangs
- Maintain gut health by increasing probiotics
- Monitor your weight on a regular basis
- Embrace yourself with supportive friends and family who promote healthy lifestyles
Importance of Follow-ups:
Preventing weight regain is the cornerstone of lifelong weight management, for any weight loss techniques.
It is important to modify or intensify treatment, where necessary, to overcome weight regain.
Consider each patient’s weight history and current situation to determine a follow-up plan for treatment.
Follow-up appointments should include an evaluation of the patient’s current meal plan, eating habits and physical activity.
Measurements taken can be used as part of this evaluation process.
If the activity plan is monitored and modified accordingly, this is associated with improved outcomes.
Follow-up appointments allow physicians to encourage self-monitoring and allow tracking of a patient’s progress by using self-monitored data.
Regularly plan your visits to keep you motivated and any modifications if needed at any stage of your weight loss journey.
Keep a close check on your health concerns during your weight loss journey, too.
Remember that the weight loss journey is a long-term goal. Proper weight management tips, along with regular follow-ups, make you achieve this successfully.
