The Ayurvedic Explanation of Fat Loss

According to Ayurveda, obesity begins with the intake of incorrect food or the development of improper dietary habits and lifestyle that result in problems with the digestive fire, which in turn increases ama (bio-toxins).

Ama disturbs metabolic processes to form more fatty tissue (Meda Dhatu Agni) and blocks the formation of the furthermost tissues such as ashti (bones). The poorly formed tissue layers increase unwanted meda dhatu (fats) and cause disturbances in the functions of kapha.

When ama blocks the channels of all body tissues, this creates an imbalance in vata. Vata keeps stimulating the central digestive fire (jatharagni), which causes an increase in appetite so the person eats more and more. However, due to meda dhavagni mandya (weak fat metabolism), improper or abnormal meda dhatu is formed, which is the root cause of obesity.

Causes of Obesity

Obesity develops gradually from poor diet and lifestyle choices, and also result from other factors. A few causes of obesity are:

  • Eating junk food frequently: Fast food meals, cakes and pastries, sweets, processed meats and sugary drinks are loaded with kilojoules.
  • Drinking too much alcohol, which contains a lot of kilojoules with no nutritional benefits.
  • Avoiding physical activity — only half of Australians do enough physical activity for good health.
  • Family history — the habits you grew up with and the genes you inherited from your parents.
  • Surroundings — what kinds of food are available and in what portions, where you work and sleep.
  • Metabolism — how efficiently your body turns food into energy.
  • Medical conditions: Some medical conditions cause weight gain, such as hypothyroidism.
  • Medications: Some medications can cause weight gain as a side effect, such as antipsychotic medications.
