  Definition of obesity

Obesity is the accumulation of excess fat in the human body. The standard of weight is established by medical experts in terms of age and height, if the weight exceeds twenty percent of this standard, then from the medical point of view, it will be obesity, and in such a situation, treatment becomes necessary.

Reasons for obesity

Obesity occurs only when food is consumed in excess of the human body's needs. Now we come to the factors that lead to obesity in the human body.

Age and gender

Generally, it occurs equally in both sexes i.e. men and women, but it is more common in women who have reached old age i.e. 45 years and above.

Economic condition

Most obese people belong to the affluent class. They don't work hard and that's why they are obese.

Eating habits

Obese people have different eating habits. Some people have a habit of eating something all the time, which makes gaining weight inevitable. In contrast, people who eat adequate amounts after longer intervals are less likely to be obese.

 

 Physical routines

Obesity, complications, and treatment.

Obesity is less common in people who lead active lifestyles. And exercise regularly. In today's mechanized age, the means of transportation have become so fast and convenient that people have less opportunity to walk and exercise. This is the reason why office people and business people become obese relatively sooner than people whose routine includes little exercise. A farmer who works all day or a housewife who does housework all day does not usually fall under obesity.

Psychological factors

There is no longer any doubt that psychologically disturbed people do not act in moderation in eating and drinking and are forced to eat and drink more in any emotional state, such people are more likely to be obese.

Hereditary factors

It is a common observation that obesity also runs in families. Hereditary factors of obesity refer to the genes that are passed down from one generation to another that can influence a person's likelihood of developing obesity. The presence of specific genetic variations can affect how the body processes and stores fat, how regulates hunger and fullness, and how metabolizes food. However, it's important to note that while genetics play a role, they are not the only factor that contributes to obesity, and a healthy lifestyle, including diet and physical activity, is still crucial in maintaining a healthy weight.

Insidious factors

Some people think obesity can also be caused by a malfunction in the body's glands and these glands

are Pituitary Gland and Thyroid Glands

There are various factors that lead to obesity, but the most obvious and prominent contributors are overeating and lack of exercise.

Now we come to the complications that we face due to obesity.

Complications caused by obesity

Apart from reducing physical beauty, obesity also causes many types of diseases and physical disabilities, and Psychiatric disorders

Obese people suffer from a lot of psychological confusion due to the disorder of their bodies. In this way, a feeling of inferiority arises in such moments. And this inferiority complex further complicates their mental state. . .

Physical disability

The human body is designed in such a way that it is not capable of carrying excessive weight. Apart from this, it causes pain in the knees, hip, and spine. Hernia hurts.

Complications in system analysis

Diseases that occur due to disorders in the digestive system. Obesity must be somehow related to them. For example, there are chances of diseases like diabetes and atherosclerosis, in addition, cholesterol in the blood accumulates on the inner surface of the fine blood vessels, which leads to atherosclerosis. Gout is also common in obese people.

Blood and heart diseases

Accidental accidents

Treatment of Obesity

In relation to the treatment of obesity, it is important to adopt three basic principles. The first rule is that the patient should be aware of the importance of losing weight. The second principle is important to understand while treating the patient. The third principle is to convince the patient of the changes that may occur in his body due to exercise and work due to hunger.

It should be noted that there is no diet that can get rid of obesity. The main thing is to reduce the dose as much as possible.

Developing and sticking to a very strict eating schedule is essential for successful obesity treatment. This task is quite difficult, especially for doctors and office workers, and those who travel a lot.

Dietary modifications

As mentioned earlier, obesity can be controlled by proper diet, especially overweight patients who should consume a diet that can reduce their weight. How should nutrients be consumed?

Calories

  First of all, it is important to remember that a reduction in daily food intake does not lead to weight loss, but a lower amount of calories in the daily diet actually leads to weight loss. If the patient does not have any other complications with diabetes, then it is necessary for the patient to eat a normal daily diet. The daily diet should include about twenty calories. Keep in mind that these patients are engaged in very minor work throughout the day. While such a patient who spends the day with a little hard work will need twenty-five calories per kilogram of weight. This means that if a person weighs 60 kg, he will need 1200 calories per day, while another person who weighs 60 kg but does hard work throughout the day will need 1500 calories.

Protein

Moments are very important for a diabetic patient as it helps in muscle repair etc. Therefore, it is not appropriate to reduce its use. For each kilogram of the patient's weight, one gram of protein must be included in the diet, for example, a person weighing sixty kilograms will need sixty grams of protein per day.

Fat

  Fat because more calories are needed. Therefore, it should be used in small quantities. And this amount of fat should be obtained from vegetable oil or ghee so that the essential fatty acids can easily meet the nutritional needs of the body.

Carbohydrates

In order to satisfy the feeling of satiety, such carbohydrates should be included in the patient's diet which cannot be digested in the body. These types of carbohydrates are also called non-digestible carbohydrates and foods that are high in carbohydrates should be included in the daily diet in minimal amounts. For example, potato, sweet potato, rice, etc.

Animals prolonged consumption of high-calorie, especially low-fat diets may lead to vitamin A and D deficiency in the patient. Therefore, supplement this.

Salts

During weight loss, a diet that is relatively low in dietary salt should be consumed because a low-salt diet allows the body to absorb a large amount of water. And water cannot be removed from the body quickly, which does not reduce body weight.

Water

Drinking a large amount of water with a meal makes you feel full, so drinking a glass of water before each meal can help reduce food intake.

The importance of exercise in obesity

Obesity, complications, and treatment.

In order to eliminate obesity, as much as the consumption of food is reduced, exercise is also necessary.

Some people think that exercising makes you hungry and increases food intake, but this is not true, so it is very important to exercise a little.

Most people suffering from obesity are used to a very comfortable life. If such people are asked to do moderate exercise, it can be quite helpful in losing weight. Walking is also good exercise. And if a patient walks for one hour at a speed of three miles per hour, he will spend three hundred calories. So, if the patient makes walking his daily routine, he can control obesity.
