Editorial
In this issue we are concentrating our thoughts on Obesity that has reached
epidemic proportions globally, with more than 1 billion adults
overweight, at least 300 million of them clinically obese and is a
major contributor to the global burden of chronic disease and
disability, often coexisting in developing countries with
under-nutrition. Obesity is a complex condition, with serious social
and psychological dimensions, affecting virtually all ages and
socioeconomic groups.
Obesity and overweight pose a
major risk for serious diet-related chronic diseases, including Type
II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke, and
certain forms of cancer. The health consequences range from increased
risk of premature death, to serious chronic conditions that reduce
the overall quality of life.
Regarding the body image, as an interesting
note, I wanted to talk a little about the relationship between
obesity and beauty. Fashion is a shape, a changing shape. What is
considered beautiful in the eyes of one race may be thought horrific
in another. Like they say, “beauty
is in the eye of the beholder” and for
centuries beauty has been shape.
In our next issue we will be sharing the knowledge of
Ayurvedic Concepts in Beauty through some of our devotees of
Ayurveda.

OBESITY- AN OVERVIEW
Dr. Mahendra Prajapati,Deptt of Physiology, DAC,
Jalandhar
|
|
Now a day's most of people are
suffering from obesity. Classical ancient texts describe eight
types of despicable persons in which atisthaulya (obesity) is one
of them.
Corpulent people are short in longevity.
Slow movement, difficult to indulge in sexual inter course, weak,
emit bad smell, much sweating, exercise hunger and thirst are its
effects.
Waist Hip Ratio (WHR): Over past 10 years or so it
has become accepted that a high WHR (WHR >1.0 in men and
>0.85 in women) indicated abdominal fat accumulation. It is a
useful research and screening tool.
The control of obesity centers around
maintaining weight with in the healthy range of body mass index of
18.5 to 24.9 Kg/m2. In those who are already overweight, a
reduction of 5-10% of body weight is recommended as an initial
goal. This can be achieved by dietary modifications, increased
physical activity or a combination of both to maintain a balance
between energy intake and energy expenditure.
Prevention of overweight and obesity
should begin in early childhood as the obesity is harder to control
once it is established in adults. However weight reduction can
still be advised which requires modification of individual's
behavior and strong motivation to lose weight and maintain ideal
weight once achieved.

GARCINIA CAMBOGIA
Dr. Supriya Dikshit, M.D. Scholar
|
|
Garcinia, commonly known as Gambooge,
Brindleberry, Brindall berry or Malabar tamarind, Goraka (Sri Lanka) is a subtropical
species of Garcinia native to Indonesia. It is a
small, sweet, exotic fruit native to South India and Southeast Asia. The yellowish fruit is
pumpkin-shaped. Garcinia has garnered a lot of attention of late
as a popular natural weight loss aid. The reason is that the rind
of this pumpkin like fruit is rich in a substance called
hydroxycitric acid / HCA, a principle extract of Garcinia
cambogia. Garcinia is a source for a revolutionary natural diet
ingredient which is currently a rage in America, Japan, Europe,
and other western countries.
