Santarpanajanya Vyadhi (Lifestyle & Over-Nourishment Disorders)

Santarpanajanya Vyadhi(Obesity, Diabetes)

In Ayurveda, Santarpanajanya Vyadhi refers to disorders caused by over-nourishment, sedentary lifestyle, and improper dietary habits. These diseases stem from excessive intake of rich, heavy, oily, and sweet foods without proper digestion or activity, leading to the accumulation of toxins (ama) and imbalances in Kapha and Medas (fat tissue).

The term Santarpana means “over-satiation,” and these conditions are especially common in modern urban lifestyles where physical activity is minimal, and diet is excessive.
