ABSTRACT
OBESITY – PREVENTIVE AND CURATIVE ASPECTS
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.
