Summary of article contents:
Obesity is now so common disease within the world's population, increasing in prevalence. In modern science sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy dietary habits, and overdependence on technology have resulted in lifestyle diseases. Now a day's lifestyle modification and the use of more junk food is the leading cause of it. From in Ayurveda point of view, it can be considered to be one of the eight undesirable conditions ( Astha Nindita ). It is also a metabolic disorder that depends on Agni for its proper functioning. Agni is the sole cause for the existence of life and its extinction leads to death. There are four states of Jatharagni: Vishma, Teekshna, Manda, and Sama states. Agni is also responsible for the health of individuals which should be in equilibrium. Agni plays an important role in the manifestation of lifestyle disorders. If we want a diseasefree life, we should maintain our Agni in equilibrium. Keywords: Obesity , Sthoulya , Agni, Lifestyle disorders, etc INTRODUCTION The World Health Organization
