Obesity Health Risks: In today’s busy life, we have become so crazy after our comforts that we have forgotten to pay attention to our body. Obesity today is no longer just a problem of appearance but has taken the form of a serious global epidemic. The recent figures of the National Health Mission are shocking which show that obesity is now affecting every age group from children to the elderly. According to experts, obesity is the root of many diseases.
Obesity is the gateway to diseases
Health experts say that when the body weight becomes more than normal, it not only increases fat but also disturbs the internal system of the body. Obesity causes internal inflammation in the body which further increases insulin resistance. This is the reason why an obese person faces problems like type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid and blockage in the arteries.
Why is weight increasing?
According to NHM, our modern lifestyle is the biggest enemy of obesity.
The illusion of junk food
Excessive consumption of fast food and cold drinks adds to the accumulation of calories in the body.
lack of physical activity
Working for hours sitting in the office and children spending time on mobile-TV instead of the playground is destroying activism.

stress and lack of sleep
Mental stress and irregular sleep slows down the body’s metabolism, which leads to rapid weight gain.
Obesity can be defeated more by changing habits than by medicines. Here are some effective methods.
30 minute rule
Make it mandatory to do brisk walking, cycling or yoga for at least 30 minutes every day. This is the easiest way to burn calories.
change in diet
Give preference to pure home-made food, green vegetables and whole grains. Minimize the intake of sugar and oil.
control screen time
Especially do not allow children to spend more than 2 hours on mobile and computer. Encourage them for physical sports.
sleep magic
Deep sleep of 7-8 hours at night keeps the hormones of the body balanced and helps in weight loss.
active lifestyle
Use the stairs instead of the lift and take a 5-minute walk after every hour of sitting. Make a habit of doing small tasks yourself.
