Obesity is putting your Life at Stake

I don’t need to emphasize on the importance of a healthy living. But what bothers me is the fact that in spite of realizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle, why is that about 20 million of India’s population suffers from obesity and related problems? It can be understood that at times health related problems like underactive thyroid and several psychiatric drugs can add weight pounds to your body but what is highly disagreeable is that this ‘obesity-epidemic’ as many experts for weight reduction call it, can be widely seen in  people having a lot of junk food and not exercise. 

weight reduction

You are obese if you weigh at least more than 20% of what is considered your normal weight in relation to your height.  Consumption of lots of calories and a sedentary lifestyle are mainly responsible hampering your weight reduction mechanism. Since you being over-weight is not a cosmetic problem, there are long lasting and life-threatening effects associated with it. Some common ones are-

-Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)

 It is caused by the blockage of oxygen carrying coronary arteries and reduction in blood flow to the heart muscle. If left untreated can lead to heart failure.

-High Blood Pressure

 A sustained increase or decrease in the pressure oxygenated blood puts against the walls of arteries while heart pumps the blood, can cause serious mortal problems. A diet to lose weight will come in handy to treat the condition. 

-Type 2 diabetes

It is an ability of body to use insulin properly, exposing you to early death, CHD, stroke, kidney disease and blindness. 

Try home-made remedies at first like green tea, drink hot water, start your day with honey, include vegetables and fruits in your diet to lose weight among many others which you can try. 

Remember for enjoying everything else in your life you need to work hard towards leading a healthy and fit life.  Stay put and pump up a strong will and commitment will surely help you through.
