How does Ayurveda view weight gain compared to modern medicine?

A Balance between the body, mind, and spirit is emphasized by Ayurveda. Gaining weight is thought to balance the Vata dosha, which tends to induce leanness, and strengthen the "Mamsa Dhatu" (muscle tissue) which can be done by ayurvedic medicine for weight gain. In contrast to contemporary calorie counting, Ayurveda emphasizes nutrition absorption, digestion (Agni), and individual constitution (Prakriti) to make sure the weight gain is sustained and healthful.
