Abstract

Health is a multifaceted construct, with social, religious and spiritual dimensions. In this editorial, we use an important socioreligious icon, the banyan tree (Ficus benghalensis) as a metaphor for the etiopathogenesis, clinical evaluation and management
of obesity. We utilize this as a motivational tool, to encourage self-discipline and self-care while living with obesity.
