Prevention Of Obesity - The First And Foremost Strategy For Mankind To Prevent Lifestyle And Non-Communicable Diseases

Obesity is spreading like a wild fire leading to a ‘disease shock wave’ across the globe. As per the latest WHO-Global Health Observatory data, more than 2.5 billion adults are overweight, which means close to 30% of world population is overweight, in which 880 million of these individuals suffer from multiple obesity based lifestyle diseases like high Blood pressure, high cholesterol/lipid levels, Diabetes, joint pains, heart diseases, PCOD & depression etc. The obesity catastrophe doesn’t stop here, around 200 million children suffer from obesity world wide with juvenile diseases and it leads to 5 million deaths per year and all these data clearly proves prevention of obesity becomes the top most priority and a disciplined lifestyle backed by regular exercises and right eating strategies will play a significant role in the prevention of lifestyle & non-communicable diseases. The longer a person is obese, the more significant obesity-related risk factors become. Given the chronic diseases and conditions associated with obesity and the fact that obesity is hard to treat, prevention is extremely important. A primary reason that prevention of obesity is so vital in children is because the likelihood of childhood obesity persisting into adulthood increases as the child ages. This puts the person at high risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and even death.
