From school education to annual health check-ups at work, it's common for people to actively engage in preventing obesity and related illnesses. Additionally, the Japanese lifestyle naturally incorporates practices that help prevent weight gain.

The Serious Risks of Obesity: Understanding Its Impact

How well do you know about the risks associated with obesity? Obesity significantly increases the likelihood of developing various lifestyle-related diseases and can have widespread effects on your body. As we age, muscle and bone mass naturally decrease, reducing our body's ability to support itself. When obesity is added to the mix, the burden on bones and joints increases even further, heightening the chances of developing back pain, knee pain, and joint disorders. Moreover, obesity can lead to conditions like hyperuricemia, gout, fatty liver disease, and pancreatitis, as well as raise the risk of severe illnesses such as sleep apnea.

The link between obesity and lifestyle diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidaemia (abnormal cholesterol levels) is particularly concerning. Left unchecked, obesity can exacerbate these conditions, leading to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and eventually increasing the risk of life-threatening events such as heart attacks and strokes. To maintain your health, it's crucial to recognize the risks of obesity early on and take appropriate measures to mitigate them.

Enjoying Indian Cuisine: Should You Be Mindful of Oil and Salt?

Indian cuisine is adored by people all over the world! From spicy curries to savoury snacks, the flavours are truly irresistible. However, it's important to be mindful of the amount of oil used in these dishes.

In India, many popular dishes are deep-fried or high in fat, which is believed to contribute to the growing risk of obesity. While high-quality oils like ghee and coconut oil have their benefits, consuming too much oil can increase the risk of not only obesity but also lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular conditions and diabetes.

Additionally, it's crucial to watch your salt intake. High salt consumption is associated with elevated blood pressure and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke and heart attack. Recent studies also suggest that excessive salt intake can lead to being overweight or obese.
