the abdominal wall,buttocks,thighs and over the shoulders and the back.This is accompanied by by deposition of extra fat in intestinal tissues in the body,borne marrow,around the heart,liver,spleen and kidneys and also higher lipids circulating in blood.Obesity is more common in well-to-do individuals of the higher economic group of population of all countries including in India also.it is estimated to be 25 to 30%.Apart from an ungainly and unseemly appearance,obesity is associated with serious disease processes.A premature death rate is more in the obese persons.It is one of the major risk factors for ischemic heat disease.Obesity increases the death rate in diabetics 5 times,who get cardie vascular accidents(cva) about 2 times
Besides some organic pathological causes like pituitary tumor complaints and menopausal imbalance and deficiency and some anxiety states,or genetic pituitary adipose,the most important and the most universal cause of obesity among otherwise normal people is over eating and lack of exercise.A
A person of normal of normal weight and activity eats more if he is more active and less,if a person is less active,activity abolishes all carbohydrate and most of the fat,obesity develops if activity becomes very low and one is not able to reduce the food intake,Obesity decreases exercise tolerance,to environmental heat and also cold ,sanitation,diseases and injuries.All persons should be known against over weight and obesity-the only 2 ways are controlling it are regular exercise and a restricted dietary,specially the fat producing items such as ghee,oil and carbohydrate,particularly sugar.
The health persons should always be on look out for such tendencies in such persons and educate them accordingly.The only effective method we have dealing with obesity is by restricting food, The standard method is to reduce total calories in diet.If a secondary worker is requires 2000 calories per day and is told to take 1500 calories he will lose weight.Such diets can be worked out to suit individual concerned requirements and to include a modicum of almost any food the person has been accustomed to eating.
Diet therapy requires as much enthusiasm and perseverance from the subject as a doctor.In practice is it means persuading the subject to continue to go short of food.The most important single item of food the avoidance of which can be expected to contribute to weight loss is sugar in any form including sweet dishes
The desirable weights for various ages and heights for men can be calculated by them and they can come to know whether they are obese,over weight,normal or subnormal
It is very simple,you see your weight and height and divide your weight in meter squares.If it is in between 18 to 25 your weight is normal.If you are healthy you can save life,prevention is better than cure.
