In Ayurveda, weight management is more about the manner in which food is processed by our digestive system and the liver’s impact on anabolic metabolism. These can lead to accumulation of toxins from drinks and food items (ama and kapha) over a period of time. While weight gain is caused due to an imbalance in kapha, excessive build-up of ama causes a person to become underweight.
