ABSTRACT

Shital P, Dept. of Swasthavrutha, Govt. Ayurveda College, Thiruvananthapuram

 

Ayurveda is a science that emphasises on following a healthy regimen for preventing the occurrence of diseases and there by leading a healthy life. Change in the life style of people in the current era has given rise to prevalence of many diseases. Obesity is one such disease that is caused due to the sedentary life style and wrong eating habits.  Since the most important part of treatment is removing the cause, more importance should be given to dietary modifications and physical activity. In this paper we are considering different yogic techniques, suitable dietary modifications and other modalities from naturopathy to achieve success in the treatment of obesity. The presentation intends to throw lights on the preventive aspects of obesity and its management through life style modifications.
