Obesity is the one of the major life style disorders of current times. Diabetes, Cardiologic manifestations etc are the secondary happenings of obesity. Lack of exercise and improper diet has played a significant role in this alarming situation. Over 90% of the present day obesity is due to the above reasons. These conditions have been increasing worldwide. Obesity among teens will be a great threat in the coming years. The projected financial loss due to these conditions runs into several billions of dollars. So this should be addressed with the gravity it deserves. The whole medical world is in the quest for a comprehensive solution.
In all prescriptions, exercise and diet control comes at the top of the list. Here also, I am suggesting these two but with one minor change – take uncooked vegetables and fruits for lunch. Your diet chart should contain enough salads, juices and minimum of non vegetarian stuff. Food and water should be taken at appropriate times. Intake of enough water is a must. Avoid bottled and preserved food. Your input should match the calorie required. The excess food consumed would be deposited as fat. So if you have a heavy meal, please select a light one for next or fast till stomach calls. Use minimum of sweets and eat it only during the day. The easy exercise an obese person can follow is simple walking. Exercises like yoga will surely reduce additional fat, but it should be practiced under expert guidance or else it may result in other probelms.
