Obesity is the leading preventable cause of death worldwide, and contributes to various diseases and conditions, particularly cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, osteoarthritis, depression etc.. Ayurveda approaches obesity as a metabolic disorder caused by poor eating habits or sedentary life style, or hormonal and thyroid issues, genetic factors, side effect of drugs or a combination of these. 

Here are few easy ways to support your body lose fat effectively: 

  1. Water - Drink atleast 2 litres of plain water daily. Detox drinks like Green tea, Cumin tea, fennel and coriander tea, ginger tea, cinnamon tea are helpful in weight loss. But they should be in addition to the 2 litres of water. 
  2. Breathing exercise - Practicing pranayama on a daily basis can make a huge difference when you are trying to lose weight. A relaxing yoga routine in the mornings with pranayama will not only set the mood for the day but also boost your metabolism. Yoga facilitates weight loss, flexibility and promotes good health. 
  3. Walking - Walk atleast 1 hour daily. You can walk at your own comfortable pace, but non-stop for I hour. Fat burning is triggered only after 45 to 50 minutes of continuous exercise. The good part is, it stays that way for the next 12 hours – yes, your fat metabolism stays active and can burn fat for energy for the next 12 hours
  4. Garcinia - Kokkum or Garcinia is a sour fruit used in a lot of dishes in south India. Garcinia naturally contains Alpha Hydroxy Citric acid, which prevents the conversion of carbohydrates/sugars to fat in the body. So if you consume 600mg Garcinia 20 to 30 minutes before a meal, the carbs in your meal won't deposit as fat in the body. Garcinia is perhaps the most sold natural weight loss supplement in the world at the moment. 
  5. Apple Cider Vinegar - Taking a table spoon of apple cider vinegar daily morning can trigger the cleansing process in the body. This often speeds up the weight loss efforts and bring faster results. 
  6. Triphala - One of the ancient remedies, Triphala includes three super fruits of India which are amalaki, haritaki, and bibhitaki. Each of them has individual advantages that work together as an elixir for weight loss. 
    • Amlaki is packed with antioxidants that reduce inflammation, maintains healthy blood sugar level and leads to lean body mass. 
    • Haritaki helps to cleanse the body by eliminating wastes from the colon. 
    • Bibhitaki eradicates body fluids and also helps burn accumulated fat. Triphala can be consumed with lukewarm water. 
  7. Avoid sweets and cut down on carbs - Sweets in all forms including sugar, fructose and artificial sweeteners like aspartame should be avoided. Also cut down on carbs like rice, bread, pastries, cookies etc and increase on vegetables especially leafy ones and those that grow above soil [minimize root vegetables]. 
  8. Massage - Various Ayurvedic massages performed by trained personnel can mobilize fat and speed up burning deposits. It will also tone and shape up the body, reduces cellulite and promotes better circulation and relieve fluid retention. Follow the above tips and you could be on your way to a healthy and sustainable weight loss.
