Obesity in India!!
In India 11% of the citizens living in metro cities and 3% living in villages are
affected by diabetes.
They are all in the age group of 15.

a medical practitioner.
Why Indians are slaves to diabetes?
India has seen famine on several occasions. Due to this a mentality has been
developed to cut short our diet. The calories accumulated in our body are not used and
converted as fat which is spread all over the body. That’s the reason why even a lean Indian
has obesity. That’s the place where the weight first increases.
Most of this phenomenon is spread from their parents. This deficiency in Indian
Women causes defects in Uterus and later on diabetic during maternity period.
Some tips to control diabetics should be known to all Indian Citizens.
To test diabetes certain tests can be undertaken.
Under fasting condition if sugar level is 125 mg/dl or more; under random test if it is
250mg/dl or more then it will reveal that diabetes exists.
These people have very low capacity to release sugar. Triglycerides will be more than
150mg/dl; HDL Cholesterol will be more than 140mg/dl for men and more than 150mg/dl for
women. Blood pressure will also be more than 135/85. One can check these details by
themselves and for which a weighing machine and a tape to measure the belly are sufficient.
Our body weight in kg should be divided by double the height of ours. The answer
will give the weight index.
