Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health. In India, obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the 21st century with morbid obesity affecting 5% of the total population. Complications related to obesity are hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, type two diabetes, osteoarthritis etc. Obesity reduces life expectancy and it is one of the leading preventable causes of death. In Ayurveda, this condition can be called as Medovriddhi, which is due to excess formation of Meda or fat, which accumulates in the body tissues. We have found that Samprapti indicates that Vata and Kapha Vriddhi leads to Medovriddhi. In Ayurvedic classical texts, there are many Ahara Dravyas like Jeeraka, Rajika, orange, plum, tomato etc. indicated for prevention as well as cure of these type of conditions and we have found that these food articles have proved anti obesity effect on animal models, human volunteers and isolated cell enzyme models with modern scientific parameters also. So, scientific diet is effective for management as well as prevention of obesity.
