It is known that being overweight or obese as a child can have a big effect on a child's physical, social, and mental health. In Ayurveda, treating obesity isn't just about reducing your weight; it's also about adjusting your metabolism by getting rid of Ama and extra fats to balance Kapha and keep Vata from getting worse.
A healthy metabolism is important because it strengthens the body's tissues and makes the digestive fire stronger. Ayurveda also has rules about yoga and diet that can help people lose weight and treat obesity.
