Recent studies have reported that globally, more than 1.9 billion adults are overweight and 650 million are obese. Approximately 2.8 million deaths are reported as a result of being overweight or obese. In India, more than 135 million individuals were affected by obesity. According to ICMR-INDIAB study 2015, prevalence rate of obesity and central obesity are varies from 11.8% to 31.3% and 16.9%-36.3% respectively. In India, abdominal obesity is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVDs).

Increases in obesity have been seen most in urban settings, but rural India is catching up quickly. Once considered a problem only of high-income countries, obesity rates are rising worldwide.

In 1997, the World Health Organization formally recognized obesity as a Global epidemic. Since then, hundreds of Bariatrics specialists and clinics have opened across the world. Bariatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the causes, prevention, and treatment of obesityObesity in India

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in India in the 21st century, with morbid obesity affecting 5% of the country's population. Obesity was most prevalent in urban populations (male = 5.5%, female = 12.6%). Rural areas are being increasingly affected. With people moving into urban centers and wealth increasing, concerns about an obesity epidemic in India are growing.

What is Obesity?

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to an extent that it may have a negative effect on health.

You are obese if your body mass index (BMI) is over 30 kg/m2. You are overweight if your BMI is 25-30 kg/m2.

Divide your weight in kg by the square of your height in meters. Body shapes may be different. Body builders' BMI may not fit into the classification above. But for more others, it holds true. Some scientists have recommended lowering the cut off point to 23 kg/m2. This will greatly increase the number of obese adults. But it will provide us better health

Dietary Fiber

We thought that dietary fiber was mostly indigestible plant matter. This is true. But dietary fiber plays a much bigger role than that.

Dietary fiber has two types:

  • Soluble fiber
  • Insoluble fiber

It has several advantages, including:

  • Fiber is a prebiotic. Good gut bacteria consume fiber. This helps them grow and form a stable colony in your gut.
  • Fiber relieves constipation. Half the dry weight of stool is a bacterial colony. This colony grows by consuming fiber. This is what makes your stool soft, bulky, and easy to pass.
  • Fiber prevents bad bacteria from growing in your gut. This is because your good gut bacteria consume fiber and fight the bad bacteria.
  • Phytonutrients are bound to fiber. Phytonutrients are plant compounds that keep us healthy. They act as antioxidants. They protect us from diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and other chronic diseases. Good gut bacteria feed on fiber and release phytonutrients for us to absorb.
  • Fiber slows down glucose absorption. This prevent postprandial glucose spike. It stabilises your blood sugar. This can be especially useful if you are diabetic. For example, sugar or jaggery can spike up your sugar levels. Dates do not spike up blood sugar. This is due to the fiber content of dates.
  • Fiber traps fat. Fiber acts like a sponge and sucks up bile, cholesterol and lipid droplets in the intestine. This has two benefits. One is, not all the fat you eat gets absorbed. Two is, some of your bile gets excreted and not reabsorbed. Your body routinely converts around half the cholesterol made in your body to bile. Fecal excretion helps reduce serum cholesterol levels.
  • Fiber helps good bacteria synthesize important compounds like Short Chain Fatty Acids. Your body can absorb these and use them to fight inflammation. You feed your good bacteria fiber and they keep you healthy in return!

Sugar

Sugars are found in the tissues of most plants. Sucrose is especially concentrated in sugarcane and sugar beet, making them ideal for efficient commercial extraction to make refined sugar. In 2016, the combined world production of those two crops was about two billion tonnes.

Sugar has been produced in the Indian subcontinent since ancient times. Crystallized sugar was discovered by the time of the Imperial Guptas, around the 5th century CE. The average person consumes about 24 kilograms of refined sugar each year. It amounts to 13 spoons of sugar a day.

Sugars (carbohydrates) are the first energy source the body goes to: they are much faster to break down into energy than their protein and fat counterparts.

Glucose, a form of sugar, plays a pivotal role in metabolism, where the chemical energy is extracted through glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to provide energy to living organisms.

We need fully unrefined fibre-rich whole carbohydrates or natural sugars for our body. We do not require processed or refined form of sugar, often called as 'free sugar';.

Natural Sugar

Natural Sugar is available in vegetables and fruits and grains and pulses and other organic product.

As a children's ICU doctor - our lives revolve around sick children, anxious parents, long & unpredictable hours at the hospital. After crossing the age 40, the body started complaining. After 2 years of various trail and error, I finally stumbled on something that works. Whole Plant based foods from Sampoorna Ahara is not only healthy, filling and nutritious - the taste buds love it too.

Thank you very much for the delicious eatables you you sent. The dryfruit laddu was very rich in taste and nutritious. The Chivda is something I am eating daily during tea time. Also tried Flax seed laddu. May be very healthy. Many congratulations for the wonderful products you have developed.

Being a health coach promoting a whole plant-based diet, I get asked this question often, "Where can we get nutritionally balanced, clean yet tasty food outside? Being unable to cook at home, due to lack of time or expertise, is there a place where we can get it ready-made?" And our prayers have been answered by SampoornaAhara.com.

Interesting Reading on Weight Loss

World Anti-Obesity Day

Anti-Obesity Day (AOD) is observed in various parts of the world on November 26, with several healthcare organizations and leading Media primarily in India and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries marking the day with activities to highlight how obesity is a public health hazard.

In 2001, the Indian Wellness brand VLCC, founded by Mrs. Vandana Luthra, took the first step towards creating awareness about Obesity and its ill-effects through the creation of an anti-obesity initiative to address the global pandemic.

World Obesity Day

World Obesity Day is observed globally on 4 March as of March 2020 (having previously been observed on the 11th October) with the view of promoting practical solutions to end the global obesity crisis.

1. It’s been 12 days since I’ve started the program and I feel an improvement in my overall health but haven’t lost any weight, infact I’ve put on some weight
2. The dabbas are too tight and I usually struggle to open them
3. 90% of the meals have only watermelon as the fruit, a little variety will be nice.
4. The food is very tasteless

So far good experience

It's been more than a week of subscribing for 1 time meal from you guys. I must say it's been lovely. I am getting to eat healthy wholesome food and my body loves it. I have been suffering from Hashimotos and had become immobile due to exhaustion. But I have more energy through the day and I feel amazing. I feel I could have had some nutrition deficiency which is fully getting fulfilled in your meals. i used to hate eating millets but I enjoy it now. I feel the quantity you guys send is a bit too much for one person but I have learnt to eat slowly and relish the food more. Initially when i started , I used to hate gooseberry but I have grown to like it. Long way to go wrt weight loss but I have decided to continue the meals program until I feel i can give myself the same nutrition.
