Abstract

As the Indian economy grows, the epidemic of Medo Roga has spread across the  country. The food we eat on a daily basis contributes to our health. However, many  people's desire to eat more and exercise less is hastening the spread of the Medo  Roga. Obesity is spreading in the modern day due to lifestyle changes and increased  consumption of junk food combined with a stressful lifestyle. According to recent  studies, high cholesterol is present in 25-30% of urban and 15-20% of rural  subjects. This prevalence is lower in low-income countries than in high-income  countries. This negative health consequence could be the cause of a variety of  lifestyle disorders such as dyslipidemia, hyperlipidemia, malnutrition, and  osteoarthritis, among others. In today's fast-paced world, dyslipidemia is a major  lifestyle disorder. The ramifications of Medo Vikriti and its dangers have been well  documented in our classics. Medoroga is primarily an Agni imbalance caused by a  variety of etiological causes, including Aaharatmak, Viharatmak, Mansik, and  others such as Bijabhava (hereditary). There is no such phrase as dyslipidemia in  Ayurveda texts, however the qualities of Sneha Dravya are defined as Medodhatu  in Ayurveda.
