According to Ayurveda the functions of
body fat are described as follows
“Medaha sneha swedaudhrudatwam pushtim
asthyancha”
This means in normal conditions the body fat keeps the body
moisturized , causes sweating , gives energy to body (by storing
energy) and nourishes bones. (By protecting them from shock).
Distribution of fat
Women have more body fat than men. In women usually the fat
accumulates around hips giving them a pear shape. In men it
accumulates around belly giving them an apple shape. The obesity
related problems start when fat accumulates around waist.
In ayurveda the distribution of fat is described as follows .
Medastu sarvabhutaanamudarenvasthi thishtathi |
Ata evodare vriddhihi prayo medaswino bhavet ||
Fat gets deposited in and around belly in all living beings. It is
also present in
bone.
Hence when a person becomes obese his stomach bulges out.
And also the characters of an obese person are described as
"Medo mamsa ativriddhatvaachalasphigudarastanaha"
The hips, belly and breasts of an obese person sag and sagged parts flap as that person moves. An obese person will not be active.
