Feet are so precious until you have a problem, you take them for granted.
What do feet and the normal fat of the body got in common? What do feet and the adrenal glands have in common? These are mysterious questions to the average western mind. In the science of ayurveda the connection is clear. In this article I will answer those questions and point you to a treasure of practical daily information that will help you and your family be healthy and happy. Fat tissues is composed of cholesterol. The dreaded heart clogging sticky stuff. Fat tissues also has adipose, fat and lipid. This is the ayureda science is called Kapha. It is many places in the body. We are all familiar with fat of the belly, the backside, and of course those dreaded love handles.
And fat is under the skin as the fatty layer between the muscles. Fat is seen in the cheeks, and the breast. Fat is even behind the eyeballs.

The fat is regulated by the adrenal glands. there are two types of fat, One is white and is the fat of that does the job of retaining the water in the body. This is kapha fat. The other is brown fat. This is the Pitta fat. This fat does the job of retaining heat in the body. Yes, you guessed if you have hot feet or hands you have an imbalance in your brown pitta fat. Fat is affected by the level of enzyme activity.
Too little enzymes not enough digestion. Sluggish metabolism affects all the tissues and it makes the fat tissue accumulate which in turn makes the white fat hold too much water and the brown fat hold too much heat.
If you have too much white or brown fat you may have also the following symptoms, too thirsty, edema, heavy feeling in the stomach, feel sleepy and heavy, emotionally agitated.

Salt, alcohol need to be very moderately used. Exercise, Exercise, Exercise no matter what you must exercise if you show any of these signs.
