एखाद्या व्यक्तीचा बॉडी मास इंडेक्स (BMI) २५ किंवा त्यापेक्षा जास्त असेल तेव्हा लठ्ठपणा येतो. शरीरातील जास्त चरबीमुळे गंभीर आरोग्य समस्यांचा धोका वाढतो.

बीएमआय व्यतिरिक्त, लठ्ठपणा मोजण्यासाठी इतर घटक –

कंबरेचा घेर म्हणजे तुमच्या कंबरेचे मोजमाप. ओटीपोटात जादा चरबी, कंबरेच्या घेराने मोजली जाते, हे वाढत्या आरोग्य धोक्यांशी संबंधित आहे. (शिफारस केलेला कंबरेचा घेर: प्रौढ पुरुषांसाठी, कंबरेचा घेर 40 इंचांपेक्षा कमी असण्याची शिफारस केली जाते आणि महिलांसाठी, 35 इंचांपेक्षा कमी)

Obesity

Obesity is a disorder involving excessive body fat that increases the risk of health problems. Obesity often results from consuming more calories than are expended through exercise and normal daily activities.

Obesity is a complex disease characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the body, which can lead to various health problems. It’s defined as a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. While often associated with being overweight, obesity is distinct and signifies a higher level of body fat that poses significant health risks.

Obesity occurs when a person’s body mass index (BMI) is 25 or greater. Excessive body fat increases the risk of serious health problems.

Other than BMI, other factors to measure obesity –

Waist circumference is the measurement of your waist at its narrowest point, typically around your belly button. Excess abdominal fat, measured by waist circumference, is associated with increased health risks. (Recommended Waist Circumference: For adult men, a waist circumference below 40 inches is generally recommended, and for women, below 35 inches)

Waist-to-Hip Ratio compares fat distribution around the waist and hips, with higher ratios indicating greater health risks.

Excess fat means the presence of excessive body fat, which can negatively impact health.

Lifestyle factors that cause obesity:

  • Diet: Diets high in calories, processed foods, and sugary drinks contribute to weight gain.
  • Physical Activity: Lack of physical activity and sedentary lifestyles increase the risk of obesity.
  • Sleep: Inadequate sleep can disrupt hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism.
  • Genetics: Genes can influence metabolism, appetite, and fat storage.
  • Other Factors: Medical conditions, medications, and environmental factors can also play a role.

Five symptoms of obesity include: excessive weight gain, shortness of breath, increased sweating, snoring, and difficulty sleeping. People may experience pain in the back or joints.

Health Risks: Obesity is a major risk factor for numerous diseases, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, and more.

Increased Risk of Chronic Diseases: Obesity is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, and other conditions.

Reduced Quality of Life: Obesity can negatively impact physical and mental health, leading to social isolation and discrimination.

Obesity in India is a growing concern, driven by a combination of factors including unhealthy dietary patterns, sedentary lifestyles, and socioeconomic shifts. Increased consumption of processed foods, sugary drinks, and larger portion sizes, coupled with reduced physical activity due to urbanization and desk jobs, are major contributors. Additionally, genetic predisposition, stress, and certain medications can also play a role.

India ranked second globally in overweight and obesity cases.

In India, obesity is a growing public health concern, with significant increases in both adults and children. Approximately 24% of Indian women and 23% of Indian men are overweight or obese.

Treatments:

Treatment consists of lifestyle changes. The mainstay of treatment is lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.

Lifestyle Modifications:

Dietary Changes: A balanced, calorie-controlled diet, often involving a registered dietitian’s guidance, is crucial. This may involve reducing portion sizes, choosing nutrient-rich foods, and increasing fiber intake to support a healthy diet.

Increased Physical Activity: Regular exercise, including both aerobic activity (like brisk walking, swimming, or cycling) and strength training, is essential for burning calories and building muscle mass.

Behavioral Therapy: This helps individuals identify and modify unhealthy eating and activity patterns, develop coping strategies for triggers, and build motivation for sustained lifestyle changes.

Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation is a sequence of 12 powerful yoga poses. These poses consist of 8 asanas and 4 asanas are repeated.

According to legend, the yoga sequence known as Surya Namaskar, or Sun Salutation, originated for Hanuman to show his gratitude to his teacher, the sun god Surya, so he created a series of graceful movements to honor his teacher. The sequence of movements became known as Surya Namaskar, a way to celebrate the Sun god and Hanuman.

The Sun Salutation is often practiced at the beginning of a yoga session. When you practice Surya Namaskar, it’s not only a tribute to the Sun God (the Guru) but also a sign of respect for Lord Hanuman (the Shishya), the greatest devotee of Lord Ram.

Indian tradition connects the 17th-century saint Samarth Ramdas with Surya Namaskara exercises.

Career Path after SSC and HSC (Marathi)

दोन्ही निकाल (एचएससी आणि एसएससी) जाहीर झाल्यामुळे, भविष्यातील करिअर योजना ठरवण्याची वेळ आली आहे. हा जीवनातील एक महत्त्वाचा निर्णय आहे. त्यातून विद्यार्थ्यांचे भविष्य घडते.

अनेकांच्या मते, करिअर तुम्हाला चांगले कमावण्यास मदत करते आणि तुमचा सामाजिक दर्जा वाढवण्यास मदत करते. पण, स्पष्टपणे सांगायचे तर ते पूर्ण सत्य नाही. करिअर हे असे आहे की ज्याचा तुम्ही उत्कटतेने पाठपुरावा करू शकता आणि तुम्हाला जीवन जगण्याचे समाधान देते.

मी अनेक वर्षांपासून करिअर समुपदेशक आणि प्रशिक्षक म्हणून काम करत आहे. अद्वितीय गुण असलेले अनेक विद्यार्थी मला भेटले. मी त्यांच्याकडे असलेल्या चांगल्या गुणांवर काम करण्याचा प्रयत्न करतो, त्यांना त्यांच्या करिअरच्या मार्गावर जाण्यास मदत करतो.

मला पालक आणि विद्यार्थ्यांकडून करिअरविषयी सूचना विचारणारे अनेक कॉल येतात. करिअरचा प्रत्येक पर्याय चांगला आहे असे मला वाटते. विविधता म्हणजे सौंदर्य. कोणताही देश आणि समाज वेगवेगळ्या क्षेत्रात काम करणाऱ्या अनेक लोकांचा समावेश असतो. प्रत्येक पालकाने ते समजून घेणे आवश्यक आहे. समजूतदारपणाचा अभाव अनेक विद्यार्थ्यांच्या करिअरला बाधा आणतो. पैसे कमवण्याची प्रवृत्ती हा एक चांगला निकष असू शकतो, परंतु तो एकमेव असू नये.

आपण आयुष्यात अशा अनेक घटना पाहिल्या आहेत ज्यात अनेक विद्यार्थी एसएससी आणि एचएससीमध्ये चांगले गुण मिळवूनही त्यांच्या पालकांनी निवडलेल्या करिअरच्या मार्गात उत्कृष्ट कामगिरी करू शकले नाहीत. कारणे अनेक आहेत, जसे की – अनेक पालक आपल्या मुलांसाठी करिअरचा मार्ग ठरवताना सुशिक्षित आणि यशस्वी मित्र/नातेवाईकांची मदत घेतात, ज्यांना मुलांबद्दल काहीच समज नसते; अनेक पालकांना त्यांच्या मुलांनी त्या करिअर पर्यायांचा पाठपुरावा करावा असे वाटते जे करण्यात ते अपयशी ठरतात; अनेक पालकांना त्यांच्या मुलांनी आपल्या मुलांना काय आवडते यापेक्षा त्यांना आवडणारे करिअर करावे असे वाटते.

त्याऐवजी, पालकांनी आपल्या मुलांना समजून घेतले पाहिजे किंवा त्यांना त्यांच्या करिअरचा मार्ग समजून घेण्यासाठी मदत केली पाहिजे. एक चांगले करिअर कोचिंग किंवा करिअर समुपदेशन सत्र विद्यार्थ्याच्या करिअरचा कल समजून घेण्यासाठी अधिक उपयुक्त ठरेल.

यशस्वी करिअरसाठी व्यक्तिमत्त्वाची वैशिष्ट्ये, छंद, विचार, आवडी आणि कौशल्ये यांचा विचार केला पाहिजे. जर प्रत्येक पालकाने ही साधी गोष्ट समजून घेतली तर ते आपल्या मुलांना त्यांच्या करिअर आणि जीवनात आनंदी आणि समृद्ध होण्यास मदत करतील…✍️

Body Fat Loss

Fat loss refers to a decrease in body fat. It is a healthier outcome as it focuses on reducing the primary contributor to various health risks. 

Why Fat Loss is Preferred:

  • Health Benefits: Reducing body fat, particularly visceral fat (around the organs), is associated with lower risks of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. 
  • Improved Body Composition: Fat loss can lead to a more desirable body composition, with a higher percentage of lean body mass (muscle) and less fat. 
  • Long-Term Health: Maintaining healthy body measurements and composition enhances overall health and well-being in the long run. 

How to Focus on Fat Loss:

  • Calorie Deficit: Creating a calorie deficit (consuming fewer calories than you burn) is essential for fat loss. 
  • Balanced Diet: Prioritize nutrient-rich foods, including protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. 
  • Physical Activity: Combine regular cardio with strength training to burn calories and build muscle, which can further enhance fat loss. 
  • Track body measurements and progress: Monitor body measurements and composition changes to assess progress and make necessary adjustments. 

How to burn body fats:

  1. Avoid sugar intake,
  2. Avoid vegetable oil intake,
  3. Balanced diet,
  4. Be Active,
  5. Fitness regime that suits you,
