Word obesity is derived from obesus means eating and more eating.Obese individuals by overeating consumes lot of extra calories from food if these not burned by activities or exercises, will be converted in to fat in the body. This starts from the childhood. Our society places food as a prime source of celebration to celebrate every occasion whether it is birthday, getting a job, home inauguration ceremony even after death we arrange feast. From childhood mother insists their children eat more otherwise he or she will be weaken.After marriage wife tends to make different mouth watering dishes to satisfy their husband's taste buds believing the way to control her husband is through his stomach. Husbands also to please their wives go outside destinations, hotels and to relatives.

That bests many diseases like High blood pressure, heart problems, Backache, gout, arthritis, pain in legs, disturbed manstrual cycle, gall bladder stone, hypothyroidism, diabetes also special hazards in pregnancy and surgical cases, , osteoarthritis of knees, hips, and lumbar spine etc..
Causes of Obesity...
1.Exogenous factor...External.(a) imbalanced unnatural diet (b) Low basal metabolic rate (c)Wrong eating habits (d) side effects of certain drugs (e) genetic problems.
Endogenous... Emotional problems
Weight loss programe....It can be divided into three parts.. .1.Elimination of fat and other toxic matters by regulating the diet . 2.To reduce weight up to required level. 3..To maintain weight.
1+3.Imbalance diet and wrong eating habits..a main cause of Obesity. To reduce weight the control of diet is a must but person should not feel starved.Moreover one should switch over to natural High fibrous diet. Modern civilizational rat race pushes people for refined ready to eat fast foods which has more extra calories.Emphasis should be on low calories natural foods like enough amount of fruits,salad vegetables, sprouts,popcorns etc.these contain sufficient amount of nutrients and fibers.High fiber fills the stomach,cures constipation and keep control cholesterol level in the blood besides antioxidants keep ward of heart diseases and even cancer.
Desirable weight for men and women according to their age, height, frame ( small, medium, large) can seen in chart or better to have Body composition monitor available at the low affordable rate. By filling input data of weight, height, gender one can see his or her fat%, visceral fat level,BMR, BMI ,muscles%,Body's biological age etc.
Planning of diet is essential to reduce weight,also to maintain required energy level considering the age,work,gender of person.Natural organic fibrous foods won't increase weight but when we change and distorted in other form these gets spoiled and giving more calories.Consuming 7500 extra calories put one Kg. of weight.Adult men and women( sedentary work) required 2400 and 1900 calories per day To reduce safely comfortably they trequired 1000 to 1200 calories per day to lose 3 to 5 kgs per month One chapati of wheat flour gives app.80-100 calories Take example of 100 gms of different foods and their giving calories.. Potatoes ,boiled=100 calories but potato chips=550 cals.more than six chapatis. Cow's milk=60 cals.but khoya=400 cals equal to 5 chapatis cane juice=39 calories but white sugar=400 cals..Wholesome foods like wheat with bran giving much lesser calories than refined flour and its products like fast foods,cake pastries etc..Frying foods with excessive ghee or oil increases their caloric value very high and by consuming these we welcome obesity. When we change our eating habits then it is difficult in the beginning to change but after some time our desire for unnatural foods get automatically subsided.True is old saying more dishes more diseases.
Low BMR.... people whose metabolic rate remains low due to their inactivity then they become victims of obesity. The secret of losing weight is keep moving.Modern life style snatched the various physical activities replaced by different machines like scooters, cars, washing machines , dishwaters etc.whether young,old,or children all are now engaged with TV or mobile for recreation, sitting or lying down in front of these consuming lot of fast foods which pushes them to obesity So to check and reduce over weight one should switch over to activities like morning and evening walk,yogasans, exercises ,jimnastrics................
In the beginning extra fat deposits around tummy then hips thighs from there it moves upward to chest,then neck disappears in ugly shape of double chin and jawline giving beauty vanishes, eyes became small and finally fat moves on back side of the body.That is a dangerous situation.
EmotionaI factor........ Today stress is also accepted as a key factor for obesity. In one research by scientists on a group of 50 people who were in a stressed condition found within few days fat accumulated in their stomach and weight increased by 20℅ to 30%.Due to anxiety,fear, melancholy depression or accident people eat more and more to deflect their mind from their tragedy' Widowers in young age, indifferent girls who wasn't married or childless couple are also prone to obesity.
Imbalance of harmones &drugs...
Obesity may be due to the imbalance of the endocrine glands like thyroid pituitary and the s*x glands that disturb the metabolism of the body Iodine deficiency develops hypothyroidism.Some pain relieving drugs,cartisone tabs.and powerful antibiotics are a factor that helps to develop obesity.So take help of nature care and yoga to cure obesity and its related diseases without any side effects.
Specific treatments......
The treatment of obesity should be based on to address its main causes overeating and lack of exercises.If weight is more than 100 kgms.or weight reduction is necessary in emergency cases where weight has to reduce fast before an operation then fasting is the only resort. (All medicines and drugs may be withdrawn gradually) But fasting should be supervised under an experienced Doctor or expert of nature care scientifically but at home it is not advisable.Sudden and total fasting may release toxins accumulated in the body and the person may get jolted so it should be gradual from reformed natural diet to all fruits. then all juice diet followed by lime water honey or honeywater/water fast.
At home the best way is to make fruits and boiled vegetables with out single drop of oil or ghee, salad etc. low calories mainstay of your diet so Remain on this diet for 10-15 days This diet gives you adequate vitamins and mineral salts to sustain life, will also reduce weight speedily but no white sugar, common salt should be used in minimum. Avoid refined, processed and unnatural foods.Those people who can not control their appetite they can along with fruits and vegetables add sprouts, vegetables Dalia or oats .To cook vegetables tasty with out single drop of Oil first prepare gravy take 1 chopped small onion and one tomato add soft spices like 1/4 tea spoon of Cummins+1/2 Ts of coriander powder+pinch of turmeric powder+pinch of rock salt then roast 2-3 minutes now mix 250grms of vegetable like bottle or snake gourd then add small quantity of water to cook and leave it for few minutes. Now morning breakfast-fruits except banana, mango , chikoo Lunch-2-3 chapatis of multi grains mix with black, green gram, soyabean flour/and boiled vegetables with out oil except potato, yum,taro root plus salad, evening carrot juice or coconut water and in Dinner vegetable Dalia or oats.
Exercise.. Regular exercises with proper low calorie food is the ideal and permanent way to reduce weight. Exercises should be designed and performed according to the patients general condition age and time. Vigorous exercises should be avoided . Person suffering from diseases should consult an expert before starting exercises. In my opinion and years of experience of reducing the weight of thousands of men women and children Morning.. Yog,Yogacise, surya namaskar Evening. ..Walk of 45 to 60 minutes (start slow then speed up after few days) 1is an ideal way to reduce weight and afterward to maintain the fitness of the body. One should also have a weighing machine to check the weight time to time.....
After losing weight maintenance of weight is more important. One should take oil or fat minimum to 2-3Ts per day. Some fruits and vegetables giving high calories are considered to be substitute of our main diet Shakes of Banana, Mango, chikoo are high caloric value nuts,seeds, dry fruits like Dates, coconut raisins,with milk should be eaten as a main meal preferably as a Dinner to avoid obesity. If one want to attend party like marriage ceremony, birthday etc.then they eat their natural food at home and then proceed outside.At home their fridge should be filled with fruits and vegetables instead of fast foods, sweets, cold drinks , sugary sharbats etc.if one eats high caloric food some time then skip next meal to balance it.Best way is to observe weekly 24 hour fast to maintain weight and detox the body.
A case study...........A young boy of 18 years age as shown his photos of before and after who came to me for weightloss.I surprised to see him he looks like an old person of 60 years of age with high B.P,hair loss, weight was 127 kgms.Treatment started with nature care methods, with Diet and exercise routine he loss 50 kgms in 4.5months reached his ideal weight of 77kgms according to his height and frame. Regained his youthfulness, with crown of black hairs covering his head, blood pressure returned to normal.
Other natural therapies...In health farms, nature care centers clinics, treatment like steam or sauna bath, heat therapy, medical massage,hot immersion bath,wet sheet pack,intestinal bath are also useful to reduce weight and detox the body without side effects killing two birds with one stone weight loss and curing diseases also it add beauty and shine to the skin. These health farms and centers could be beginning of discipline in one's life if one can afford.In order to slim fast some people take drugs of various kinds or go for unnatural surgery without thinking may suffer different types of complications so it's better to follow the path of nature to get rid of obesity and it's related diseases.
