Before knowing the Yoga let us first understand what obesity means.
First symptom of obesity is increase in weight; body loses its shape, due to accumulation of fats in various parts of body sometimes body balance is affected. The obese person has to spend extra energy for any movement, which results in reduction in overall movements; this reduction in overall activity further increases the weight, also the enthusiasm in any work goes down.
For a regular healthy life the weight has to be in certain limits, there is standard chart, which relates height and weight. If the difference is more than 10 % as mentioned in table then we may say that the person is obese. One can get a brief idea from this chart but not totally correct figures.
This increase in weight is a gradual process. The weight doesn't increase suddenly. We may overlook this, as this increase is not noticeable initially. But beyond certain limits this overweight may become reason for various diseases like Hypertension, Diabetes, Heart problems. So we need to control the weight from the beginning.
For the daily work we spend calories, which we get from the food we eat. But if we take more calories and spend less then the calories are accumulated in the form of fats. Increase in fats reduces body movements, which again increases the weight. So as to reduce the fat one must control the food habits.
Weight can increase because of digestive problems. Useful part of the food is absorbed in blood during the digestion. If there are some problems in this process then it may result in accumulation of fats. If the digestive problem is cured then obesity can reduce.
Endocrine glands control various activities of body. A problem in the functioning of endocrine glands results in various physical problems, obesity can also be because of problems in functioning of endocrine gland system. There is strain on endocrine gland system during childbirth, menopause in case of women. So if proper care is not taken during these transformations, it may result in obesity.
Sometimes because of problems in nervous system, obesity increases and in that case the nervous system problem is to be treated to cure obesity.
Body and mind has complex relations between them, because of mental and emotional imbalance, endocrine gland systems is affected, which may result in obesity.
