According to Ayurveda Weight gain or obesity initially starts with one’s food and lifestyle habits that tend to hamper the "Agni" or digestive fire of the body. This causes improper digestion of food as well as increases the levels of toxins in the body. This creates Aama ( Toxins ) in the body which hamper the digestive system . Increased toxin or Ama levels in the body disturb the natural metabolic processes and result in the formation of more fatty tissues. and because of this whatever you eat gets converted more into fat than rest essentials. And it leads to weight gain or obesity .. Improper tissue layers reduce the functionality of Kapha and increase meda dhatu or fats in the body.
In Ayurveda, obesity is treated not only for weight loss or loss of centimeters, but also in terms of adjusting metabolic processes by reducing "Ama" and Making patient's Digestive system better, which will help in creating more essential nutrianats than creating exess fat from the food we take . And this regulate the function of Kapha without vitiating Vata.
