Weight management is essential for maintaining overall health and preventing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. In Ayurveda, weight gain is often linked to an imbalance in Kapha dosha, leading to slow metabolism, excessive fat accumulation, and digestive issues. A holistic approach to weight loss addresses not just diet and exercise but also mental well-being and long-term lifestyle changes.
