Go for the natural

Obesity today is a worldwide concern and a growing one in India. Obesity is the leading cause for several diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, kidney and cardiac troubles. Everybody is now tired of hearing the statistics but nobody it seems has that magic solution. There is infact no magic solution for this problem.
By now everybody is tired of hearing the statistics, so let us deal with the causes & remedy for it. There are clearly several genetic and lifestyle issues that contribute to obesity. These include sedentary lifestyles, hormonal influences, socio-economic factors, improper diet, tremendous stress and tensions.
Skipping meals, fasting or overeating are not the solutions for weight reduction. Having proper and balanced food is important to lose weight. This is important because the body distributes the food we eat equally. Some of this is utilized as energy and the remaining is preserved as fat for emergencies like fasting or inadequate meal intake. The moment we start eating less, this equilibrium of food distribution is hampered. Both eating less and eating more will contribute to the obesity.
Ayurveda has several tried and tested methods to help lose weight naturally. These include detox programmes and panchkarma methods. With these natural methods it is possible to lose weight in a healthy manner. Ayurveda believes in natural processes and hence, there are no side-effects and no use of machines. The science of Ayurveda also helps the individual tune his body to natural rhythms. It reduces body mass index, cholesterol and fat percentage by increasing the metabolic rate, thus improving immunity and wellbeing.
