摘要：Obesity is a state of excess adipose tissue mass.Imbalance between energy uptake and energy consumption along with the environmental and genetic factors play an important role in determining obesity. Abundance and easy availability of food along with sedentary lifestyle has led to increase in global burden of obesity. According to AcharyaCharakaaSthaulya is SantarpanaJanyaVikara. He further mentioned that intake of Guru, Madhura, Sheeta, SnigadhaAhara and taking excess amount of food are the main cause of Sthaulya.In Sthula Purusha because of abnormal increase in Meda and MamsaDhatu there is pendulous movement of buttocks, belly, breasts and whose increase bulk are not matched by the energy. Ayurveda has holistic and scientific approach in health management, it emphasizes much more on diet and regimen along with medicines. By correcting our diet and lifestyle we can check obesity and its harmful impact on our health. The 2015-2020 dietary guidelines for Americans advocate for increasing vegetable intake and replacing energy dense food with those that are nutrient rich. One of the major sources of energy for humans is carbohydrate but choosing the right carbohydrate is of utmost important. Complex carbohydrates are more packed with nutrient on the other hand simple carb are more packed with energy. Some of the major sources of simple carbohydrates are soda, baked treats, packaged cookies, concentrated fruit juice. They are easily available and comes with fancy packing, which is eye catching. Complex carbohydrates contain fibers and digest more slowly which make them ideal food for weight control. Some of the complex carbohydrates are whole grains, fiber-rich fruits and vegetables. Other important component for reducing weight is protein. A high protein intake boosts metabolism, reduces appetite and changes several weights- regulating hormones. Various food articles mentioned in Charakaa Samhita and BhaisajyaRatnavali for Atisthaulya are rich in complex carbohydrates and protein. These food items also have low glycemic index which means they do not spike the glucose level as they are absorbed slowly.
