Obesity may be
defined as excess
weight or deposition of excess fats on
body. It can afflict any human being
irrespecrive of whether men, women, adults, teenagers or children. The
increasing obesity rate is a growing problem in the modern world. The problem of
overweight and
obesity has increased in the last 2 decades
particularly in
metropolitan cities. In villages/rural population where old lifestyle
and food
habits are being followed, the problem of obesity and its related
disease is
compratively very low.
Faulty
lifestyle Now days,
in this materialistic world, we are leading very hectic lives and do
not follow
a disciplined lifestyle. We have a myopic outlook towards life i.e. to
earn
money and accumulate all the luxurious things in whatever way possible,
no
matter even if the peace of mind, health, good sleep, family life etc
is
sacrificed. We try to do numerous works at a time and do not
concentrate on one
thing and are always in hurry. The unorganized and haphazard life
schedule has
not left any fix time for getting up in the morning, sleeping, eating or physical exercise/yoga.
This is the primary
cause of developing various diseases.
Unbalanced
diet
Nowadays
we give preference to junk and spicy food,
deep-fry food,
processesd food, ice cream and western snacks in
place of wholesome
and nutritious diet. Intake of high fat diets chocolates,sweets, wafers
and
high carbohydrate food like potatoes,rice and pasta lose
nutrition balance and causes deposition of excess fat on body. Eating
too much than the required amount of dietary intake may also cause
obesity.
Lack
of
exercise/yoga Physical
inactivity developes lithargicness and necessary
hormones are not released in our body in sufficient quantity for the
smooth
functioning of our vital organs. Lack of execises and restricted
movability of
body is also one of the the factor of obesity as what we eat is
converted in
calories and if do not burn excess calories it may deposit as fat in
our body.
Psychological. Depression, anxiety,
trauma
and
stress are the leading psychological
factors which may cause eating disorder.
Phychological factors like overeating and under exercising could also
result in
obesity.
Medical
reasons
Medical
conditions like thyroid and neurological problem
may also cause obesity.
Heridity,genetic Family
history of obesity, if any of our parents or grand
parents had the problem of obesity, it may continue in the next
generations
also.
Bad
effects of obesity----Health risks
Obesity
restricts the movability of a person and increases
the risk of developing or worsening many
serious health conditions or diseases such as
anxiety, hypertension,
sleeping disorder, blood sugar and even cardiovascular diseases( heart
problem)
due to excess of bad
cholesterol(ldl) and triglycerides . Obesity is also the
main reason of joints problem particularly knee joints.
Prevention and
controlling of
obesity
I
am maintaining my weight by simply following the old theory of my
ancestors of
lifestyle and food habits.. My height is 165 cms and my weight is 58
kgs and my
weight has never been varied for more than ±
three kgs in
the last 40 years
execept two occasions in may 1985 and june 2002 when I was confined to
bed due
to illness and lost 4-5 kgs for a short duration. I believe
that problem of obesity and over weight can be controlled by
change in lifestyle, food
habits and
doing regular exercises/ yoga,
