Weight loss seems to have become a global obsession. Diets, diet
clinics, gyms, health farms, websites, books, supplements, nutrition
information, awareness, lifestyle coaches and trainers are growing at an
unprecedented rate and the predilection for preventive health measures
is at an all time high.
Indians are nearly spending $ 800 million annually on health checks; yet, success seems to be far and beyond. Obesity continues to grow exponentially around the world and this country is no exception.
According to statistics from the World Health Organisation (WHO), worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980; 1 in 4 Indians is overweight and India is the third most obese country in the world. This is shocking in the wake of the fact that one-fourth of the country lives below the poverty line. Something obviously is being missed!
