Many lifestyle diseases are spreading rapidly, and the root cause of most of them is obesity. According to the World Obesity Federation report, if effective steps are not taken, more than half of the world's population may become obese by 2035. Currently, 38 percent of the population is affected by obesity, and if this situation continues, this figure may reach 51 percent in the next 12 years. The graph of obesity is also increasing rapidly in India, especially among women. Health, economic and psychological problems are increasing due to obesity in women. Due to obesity, the risk of cancer in women increases by 40 percent.
According to physician Dr. Sunita Nagpal, hormonal changes in women, such as PCOS and menopause, are the major causes of obesity.
Dr. Vibhu Kwatra explains that stress and obesity complement each other. Stress causes the production of cortisol hormone, which slows down the metabolism.
As women age, physical activity decreases, which increases the risk of obesity.
Improper absorption of nutrition and accumulation of excess fat in the body can be a sign of Cushing's syndrome.
Poor functioning of the thyroid gland is another cause of obesity.
Digestive problems like constipation can also cause weight gain.
Weight loss is a continuous process, and cannot be done in a pinch.
It is not possible to lose weight by taking only one type of diet. A combination of a balanced diet and exercise is important.
Skipping one meal is not helpful in controlling weight.
According to health experts, the process of weight loss should be done gradually. Losing half a kilo of weight every week is considered normal.
Weight loss cannot be achieved just by cutting diet; Regular exercise is necessary. Research has shown that exercising between 6 pm and 12 midnight is more beneficial for obese people.
Keeping all these facts in mind, it is clear that it is extremely important to take obesity seriously and take action against it.
