Weight Management

Renovating the mechanics of Metabolism

Obesity is one of the most common problems in today’s world and also the source of many other high risk problems like angina, diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, heart failure, gout etc. There is a lot of research and pills in modern medicine but their results are more or less temporary. Even the physical workout and dieting can do very little, without proper understanding the real reason for excessive weight or for low weight.

The real reasons

According to Ayurveda both overweight and underweight are due to the imbalance in three doshas: vata, pitta, and kapha. This can happen irrespective of how much or how little food you eat. Improper digestion or improper metabolism due to excessive Kapha and ama is at the root of both overweigh and underweight.

When Kapha is imbalanced, the heavy characteristics of Earth and water elements become exaggerated. However, obesity can be found in people with the other two doshas also. For example, people with vata and pitta doshas can suffer from poor digestion if their digestive fire is too low. As a result, food isn’t processed properly, and that, in turn, can result in weight gain or obesity.

For people with vata dosha the problem generally is that of underweight rather than overweight. They cannot properly absorb nutrients. However, they can become overweight when imbalanced if they attempt to eat sweet, oily foods in an attempt to calm their vata imbalance.

How it works?

The Ayurvedic approach to achieving your ideal weight is based on taking a realistic look at your body type and revamping the entire digestive & metabolic processes. Nevertheless, low calorie diet and regular exercise are at the very basis for weight management.

The Udayagiri mountain region has always been a strong hold of yogic wisdom and spirituality for millions of people, regardless of their religious beliefs. It is a land full of great qualities and potential, whispering its spiritual glory to all who have an ear to lend.

We believe that one should train the mind to tune into nature before looking through the corridors of one’s own life. When residing in such an exceptionally peaceful and privileged environment, our minds are able to experience perfect stillness, which then enables us to tune into the surrounding sounds of nature and feel the unity with all that is. The music from the chirping birds, the whistle of the wind blowing through the smallest blades of grass and the scent of the wildflowers in bloom are just a few of Mother Natures’ many gifts that will be teasing your senses at the Udayagiri Mountain Retreat.

Taking in the sun up in the mountains is always beneficial to the body, mind and soul and all living beings depend on the sun’s rays for vital life energy or Prana. The sun’s heat penetrates the body, removing physical, mental and spiritual weaknesses, keeping it healthy and long-lived. The sun is also instrumental in balancing the body’s 3 Doshas and curing ailments of the heart and eyes, jaundice, leprosy and weak mind
