• The human body is composed of Bones, Muscles, Specialized Organs, Tissues, and Fat.

• Fat or Adipose tissues is a combination of essential Fat (An energy source for the normal physiologic functions of cells and Organs) and Storage Fat (A reserve supply of energy for future needs).

1.1 Simply we can say-

 Obesity is just an exaggeration of a Normal Body, the storage of energy for future is properly classified as a Health problem, and this is because excessive amounts of storage fat may interfere with the normal physiology of the body.

1.2 Scientific Clarification

 Obesity reflects an imbalance between the Input to the Body and its Output i.e. the amount of energy taken into the body in the form of food and the amount of energy expanded in metabolism and physical activity

 According to WHO

 World Health Organisation’s definition is based on weight classification, these weight categories are based on BMI and is as follows-

< 18.5- Under weight 18.5–24.9- Normal weight

25.0–29.9- Over weight 30.0–34.9- Class I obesity 35.0–39.9- Class II obesity

≥ 40.0- Class III obesity

result in more fatty tissues. Fatty tissues require more oxygen and blood nutrients to survive and this put an extra load on heart.

• Asthma-

In Obese people the Lungs are under-expanded and the size of breathe is smaller.

• Elevated Cholesterol-

It is also known as Hyper Cholesterolemia, with an increase in body fat the cholesterol level also raises simultaneously. Every 10 lbs. of extra fat in body causes the deposition of approx. 10 mg of cholesterol per day.

• Osteoarthritis-

It is a common joint disorder, often more affects the joints of knee, Hip and lower back. Due to obesity extra pressure placed on joints and leads to tearing of cartilage (Cushion of Joints).

3 METHODS TO MANAGE OBESITY-

• Calorie control- One should keep check on the intake and consumption of calories.

More raw vegetables, fruits help in balancing the intake of the food. Reducing refined &

processed food, fast food, non vegetarian diet helps in weight control. A special fasting program has shown promising results.
