Weight Management

Introduction

Do you weigh more than you should? If so, you're like the two-thirds of American adults who are overweight.About one in five Indian adults is considered to be obese.Obesity, in simple terms, is having a high proportion of body fat. Fat is important for storing energy and insulating your body, among other functions. The human body can handle carrying some extra fat, but beyond a certain point, body fat can begin to interfere with your health. For this reason, obesity is more than a cosmetic concern. Obesity puts you at greater risk of developing high blood pressure, diabetes and many other serious health problems.

The good news is that even modest weight loss can improve or prevent complications associated with obesity. Weight loss is usually possible through dietary changes, increased physical activity and behavior modification. For people who don't respond to these lifestyle changes, other more involved obesity treatments are available to enhance weight loss.

Treatment

The goal of obesity treatment is to achieve and maintain a healthier weight. The amount of weight you need to lose to improve your health may be much less than what you feel you need to lose.

Ayurveda Treatment Plan

An Ayurveda detoxification program of 3-7 weeks prior to commencement of the diet and lifestyle plan would significantly contribute to correcting your metabolic processes, reducing your weight and helping to induct you onto a diet/lifestyle plan which you could incorporate into your routine back home. The Ayurveda detox program includes a combination of herbal medicines, external body treatments, diet and lifestyle adjustments. Many patients have benefited considerably from going through such a program.
