The most common causes that induce a person into obesity
and over weight are the effects of irregular eating and excessive
consuming.
In Ayurveda medicine texts, it is stated by Charak Samhita
that there are eight body types which are disease prone. Out
of the eight body types mentioned, an obese body is the most
vulnerable body of them all being subject to various diseases
and disorders.
Ayurveda health studies refer to obesity as
the state of the body when excessive deposition of fat occurs
in the adipose tissue.
All extra fats contained in the body will strain the heart
and kidneys together with the liver, but not only that, it
will even strain the joints like the knees and ankles.
All these tendencies result in obese bodies suffering from high
blood pressure (together with all the consequences this disorder
is responsible for), coronary thrombosis, diabetes, arthritis together
with gout, liver and gall bladder disorders.
A health herbal suggestion in order to avoid or reduce obesity consists of these main points to remember, namely; regular exercise and controlling your eating habits whilst keeping in mind to avoid anything with
fattening tendencies.
