Weight Loss Surgery vs Diet & Exercise

Excess body weight is a common condition these days. Although people often use it very loosely but obesity is a disease. Did you know ¿Obesity in Indiä has reached an epidemic proportion in 21st century affecting more than 10% of population as per the National Family Health Survey 2015-16. India is following a trend of other developing countries that are steadily becoming more obese. Unhealthy, processed food (like canned or frozen food or ready to eat or easy to cook commercially available packaged food along with added preservatives or chemicals) has become much more accessible following India's continued integration in global food markets and continued westernization. This, combined with rising middle class incomes, is increasing the average caloric intake per individual among the middle class and above average income households. ¿About 40 to 60 percent of Indiäs urban population is obese. It is a problem bigger than malaria and tuberculosis,¿said Anoop Misra, chairman of the National Diabetes, Obesity and Cholesterol Foundation, and author of several recent studies on the problem.
