Trouble increased due to changed Eating Habits
Vijay Garg8/28/2025 11:31:56 PM
The rapid obesity and the scope of diseases that have increased in the country, it is becoming a state like a public health emergency. which is also increasing rapidly in obesity-borne non-infectious diseases. In a recent study, the Indian Journal of Medical Research and World Health Organization has revealed that the obesity rate in India’s adult population has gone from 20 to 23 per cent by the year 2025. Whereas in the year 1990 the country this rate was only nine to ten percent. The point of concern is that this rate of obesity has been twice in just three decades. That is why every fourth person in cities appears to be a victim of obesity nowadays. In fact, as economic prosperity came in the country, our food habits have changed.
The consumption of canned foods, overpriced beverages and junk food in youth in our food has increased rapidly. The most worrying thing is that the use of edible oils has also increased at a very fast pace. When prosperity came from economic development, our catering was enriched, but there has also been increased physical inactivity. Indeed, wildly use of edible oils has also caused obesity.
In the nineties in the country where the average consumption of oil per capita was three to four litres, which has now grown to about twenty litres annually. That is, reaching the alarming situation has gone up to five times. Now not only the city from obesity problem, rural life is also being affected. It does not come to see in the last century. In fact, the economic prosperity that came earlier this century not only changed our catering habits, but also the more use and comfortable lifestyle of vehicles reduced our physical activity. which caused a great deal of obesity. To what extent has the problem of obesity reached in the country and has addressed the Prime Minister’s country from several public forums over how fast non-infectious diseases are growing from it. On Independence Day, he raised serious concerns over obesity holding pace in the country. Even on World Health Day, they have spoken of a change in life style for a life free of obesity. He also spoke about reducing the use of edible oils. The World Health Organization has also said that consuming more than five-six hundred mL of edible oil can increase the risk of obesity, hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes. Health experts are saying that improving catering habits and increasing physical activity can reduce obesity. Regular exercise and yoga-pranayam are khase helpful in this. The crisis here is also of the changes in our lifestyle, in which we eat more rich food late at night. Sleeping late and waking up late is now common. The lack of sleep has increased stress in life even by rapid urbanization, working late in the shifts, reduction in physical activity, and engaging in social media for late nights. This stress increases obesity by badly affecting our catering habits. That is why a much-talked-about medical journal has warned that forty-five crore youth in India can be vulnerable to obesity by 2050. One aspect of this problem is that there has been a lot of quack tips on reducing obesity on social media. Every other man is seen telling ways to reduce obesity. While therapeutic vision these facts are not authenticated. But still people start blindly believing him. Some people go to the gym and start messing with their bodies by undertaking weight loss overnight. There is also a long process of caution in weight loss. Many people wash their hands even with their lives in a jiffy affair.
