One of the dietary lifestyle diseases that impact both developed and developing nations is obesity. Obesity is a disease characterized by elevated body weight and the accumulation of extra fat. Obesity is the underlying cause of calorie overconsumption and decreased physical activity, resulting in significant health problems. Multifactorial in nature, in which etiology plays an equally significant role in environmental, lifestyle and genetic influences. Ayurveda is one of the world's most ancient scientists, explaining the fundamental and applied concepts of wellbeing, illness and management. The word Medasvi is indicative of the individual's nutritional state, suggesting a well-nourished condition rather than sickness. The Medovriddhi includes Sthaulya, which deals with the study of traditional obesity that represents endocrine imbalance, not rational adiposity. The most prominent dietary condition in affluent cultures is obesity. For social as well as medical purposes, Sthaulya is discouraged by society. Obesity is typically attributed to unhealthy food and a lack of regular exercise
