In a world where convenience often trumps conscious choices, the prevalence of obesity has reached alarming levels. Obesity is a complex condition characterized by excessive body fat, posing serious health risks. To gauge one's weight status, the   Body Mass Index (BMI)   is commonly used, calculated by dividing an individual's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. Another crucial metric in assessing obesity is the  Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) , which measures the distribution of fat in the body. When WHR and BMI exceed certain thresholds, the condition is classified as morbid obesity, indicating severe health implications. India, once known for its diverse culinary heritage, is now grappling with a rising obesity epidemic. Recent statistics reveal a significant increase in obesity rates, affecting millions. This surge in weight-related concerns is a harbinger of various health issues, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory disorders. clic
