Your Wait for Exact Body-Weight Ends Here

by Anan A. HEALTHCARE CONSULTANTS

Tasty food is spicy and spicy food is hard to resist. Having something to munch upon within every next hour, there could be an accumulation of fat in the tissues. Due to the excess fat, there may be a gradual increase in your weight. For a person whose Body Mass Index (BMI) is higher than the thirty, he/she is said to be obese. The Body Mass Index is calculated by dividing a person’s height with that of his weight. A person suffers from obesity when his eating habits tend to increase drastically. At first, it may not show up an increase in your weight. But, this may lead to an even worse condition of obesity where it becomes difficult to control the weight in the long run.

How is Obesity different from Overweight?

Overweight is defined as the condition when the person’s weight is 10% more than the ideal body weight. And if the bodyweight is 20% more than the ideal body weight, it is called obesity.

In terms of BMI, in adults, overweight means a BMI greater than or equal to 25. While obesity means a BMI greater than or equal to 30. Likewise, in growing children aged between 5 to 19 years, the BMI for overweight is more than one standard deviation. However, the BMI for obesity of these children is greater than two standard deviations under the World Health Organization Growth Reference median.

Causes of Obesity

When the food with energy intake exceeds the calorie level in adipose tissue, and if the calorie balance increases exponentially - this leads to an abnormal hike in weight. In a lay man’s words, the major cause of obesity is the intake of junk, non-nutritious and oily food on a regular basis. Other major causes include nibbling in between meals, chewing improperly and at a faster rate leading to consumption of more food. Most likely, obese people tend to respond to external cues to eat rather than internal hunger signals. Moreover, people who prefer eating left-overs forcibly put on more weight.

How can Overweight and Obesity be Reduced?

After a consultation, most doctors recommend obese people to stop eating junk and oily food. In addition to this, a fast walk for at least half-an-hour a day followed by exercises can help reduce excess weight. Although, even after this, if a person is unable to reduce weight, he/she is prescribed with medicines after weight-loss surgery. A Weight Loss Surgery(also called as obesity surgery), is a surgical method to reduce the size of the stomach so that the intake level of food is restricted. Usually, a device is implanted (gastric banding) or the duodenum is switched. There are numerous Obesity Surgeries available in India. According to the patient's history, weight, addictions, and age, the surgery is performed.

Some popular Obesity Surgery Procedures

There is a number of surgeries performed to overcome the problem of obesity. Few of them include Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery, and Duodenal switch. With proper guidance and thorough analysis of the body weight, the doctors who are highly qualified professionals, take a step ahead with any one of the above mentioned surgeries. Talk to your doctor before taking any further decisions.
