Weight Loss
Weight management is not an easy task for many of us to achieve. We use a combination of Ayurveda therapies and medicines, yoga, fitness workouts and meditation to help you attain your ideal weight.
WEIGHT LOSS
If you’re carrying many extra pounds, you face a higher-than-average risk of a whopping 50 different health problems! These health conditions include some of the leading causes of death—heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain cancers—as well as less common ailments such as gout and gallstones. Perhaps even more compelling is the strong link between excess weight and depression, because this can have a profound, negative impact on your daily life. But people also gain weight because they’re depressed, and they become depressed because they’re overweight! Furthermore, modern day stress and processed food is a big cause of weight gain. At times, loosing weight seems a tireless task!
At Plantation Villa, we tackle weight loss in a number of ways:
Ayurvedic Medicines:
In Ayurvedic theory, if your body constitution (dosha) is in balance, then you will be at your optimum weight – your optimum weight will differ by your predominant dosha. Our medicines will help balance your dosha and this will trigger a weight loss.
Ayurvedic Treatments:
Ayurveda therapies designed for weight loss will be administered daily. These are quite powerful to aid weight loss. Some of the abhyanga therapies will help loosen deposited fat which can be burned during daily fitness activities.
Fitness Workouts:
We have an expert fitness instructor who will be visiting the Villa three times a week to run fitness classes for guests on the Weight Loss Package. He will also give a work out plan for you to follow daily during your stay.
