About obesity and weight gain
Obesity means carrying so much body fat that health is affected. For Indians, a body mass index of 23 or above is already considered overweight and 25 or above obese, and a waist measurement above about 90 cm in men or 80 cm in women signals risk. It develops from eating more energy than is used, but thyroid disease, PCOS, insulin resistance, some medicines, poor sleep, stress and genetics also play a part, so these should be checked. Obesity raises the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, fatty liver, joint problems and some cancers. Steady weight loss of half to one kilogram a week through a balanced diet, portion control, daily activity and good sleep is safer and lasts longer than crash diets. Homeopathic treatment is a supportive measure and works best alongside these changes.
