AYURVEDIC CURE OF OBESITY

In modern days obesity is defined in terms of Body Mass Index. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a mathematical calculation used to determine whether a patient is overweight or not. It is calculated by dividing a person's body weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared (weight [kg] / height [m]2). Being obese and being overweight are two different things. A BMI of 30 or more is considered obese and a BMI between 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight. The tendency toward obesity is encouraged by two bad habits namely: 1. Lack of physical activity 2. High-calorie, low-cost foods.
