“…Governmental agencies should promote the bene its of healthy life style, food habited and physical activity through television and awareness program. The aim of this article is to report the risk and conditions of obesity in different regions of India and highlight the problem areas (Ahirwar and Mondal, 2019).…”

Obesity is a medical condition which occurs due to the accumulation of excess body fat to the extent that results in a negative effect in health. Obese are generally known when the body mass index (BMI) of a person is above 25. According to World health organization obesity and corpulent are defined as a risk of body health due to over or abnormal accumulation of fat in a human body. 50 (25 experimental groups and 25 control group) women's who met the inclusion criteria were selected by using non-probability convenience sampling technique. After selecting the sample, the investigator explained the purpose of the study and informed consent was obtained. Demographic variables were collected pre-test was done by using BMI for both experimental and control group. For the experimental group, cumin cyminum plus lime water is given for 3 weeks on an early morning in empty stomach. The data were tabulated and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The calculated ‘t’ value is significant at P< 0.005. The study indicates that administration of cumin cyminum plus lime water is effective in reducing overweight. The present study showed that cumin cyminum plus lime was not only beneficial but also safe and effective in the treatment of obesity.

“…NFHS4 reported that in India, prevalence of obesity is more in high socioeconomic states like Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Delhi, Telangana, and north eastern states compared with Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand, the low socioeconomic states. 4 India was the global diabetes capital about a decade ago 5 and with approximately 18% of Indian adults being type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at present, 6 we are soon expected to regain this dubious distinction. Overweight and obese individuals have three times greater risk to develop NCDs including metabolic syndrome, which features T2DM, CVDs and high blood pressure.…”

Obesity and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes are epidemic in India. Developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis, based on epidemiological evidence, associates maternal undernutrition and low birth weight (LBW) of the offspring with increased obesity and diabetes in their later life. Considering widespread maternal micronutrient (MN) deficiencies, LBW, and NCDs in India, we tested the hypothesis, “maternal MN deficiency per se programs the offspring for obesity and increases risk for NCDs in their later life” in rodent models. We showed in Wistar rat offspring that maternal MN (single or combined) deficiency per se: (1) increased body fat (visceral fat) and altered lipid metabolism, (2) decreased lean body and fat free mass, and (3) altered muscle function and altered glucose tolerance/metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Rehabilitation prevented vitamin but not mineral restriction-induced changes in offspring, which showed partial mitigation. Increased oxidative/steroid stress, decreased antioxidant status, and inflammatory state were the associated common mechanisms in the offspring. Our attempts to assess the role of epigenetics showed that folate and/or vitamin B12 deficiencies altered mother’s body composition besides that of the offspring. Additionally, in C57BL/6 mice, B12 deficiency-induced anxiety was observed in mothers and offspring. That expressions of histone modifying enzymes in mice brain and promoter methylation of adiponectin, leptin, and 11βHSD1 genes in rat offspring were altered in MN (B12 and Mg) deficiency suggested that altered epigenetics most likely plays a role in maternal MN deficiency-induced changes in body fat/lipid metabolism and anxiety-like behavior in mothers and offspring.

“…[2] India is home to every sixth human in the world and has been estimated to have 135 million obese people, with several of its states having more than 25% of its adult population being obese. [3] Globally, an increase in physical activity is suggested as a way to counteract the obesity epidemic. However, the evidence is negligible to low for this approach.…”
