The Food That’s Eating Us Back:-
The truth is that the food which once gave life is now slowly becoming the cause of death. The taste which once used to give comfort in mother’s bread. Now we have started consuming poison from the spices available in the market which is becoming the cause of death and today many times we are eating not out of hunger but out of habit, greed or sometimes just to pass time and the result is that every morsel which tastes good to the tongue is making our body sick.
No Longer a Source of Strength:-
Today food does not give us strength but slowly destroys our energy. And the scariest thing is that no one knows about this nor is anyone about it. We think that filling the stomach is everything. But the truth is that in this pursuit of filling our stomachs, we and you are slowly destroying ourselves. The food which was made to keep us alive, instead of food containing oil, ghee, salt, sugar and chemicals. Today it has become the biggest enemy of our lives.
From Hunger to Heaviness: India’s Weight Crisis:-
And the most surprising thing is that this death is coming so silently that there is no sound, no pain. Every day our lives are ending a little bit. After all, food is life. To earn food we work, work hard, stay awake, study and write; and no one can survive without eating. Ok? It is true that one cannot sing bhajans on an empty stomach. If you want to live, you have to eat. But when this same food starts harming your life then it is important for us to make you aware. It was discovered that in India people started being crushed not by hunger but by weight. The National Family Health Survey report says that 24% of the country’s women, i.e. about 33 crore people and 23% of the men, i.e. about 32 crore 20 lakh people are obese. That means, out of the total population of 140 crore in our country, today there are 65 crore people whose bodies are not just burdened with weight but are also at risk of diseases. And it’s not just statistics.
The Real Disease: Habits, Not Fat:-
This is testimony to the increasing fat which can no longer be ignored. You do one thing. From tomorrow when you go in front of the mirror early in the morning then think in this country 60-65 crore people life is moving fast, because of these excuses our body has become used to rest today, you know that even if you do not do anything but there is someone else who is earning money from your obesity. Today, in the name of reducing obesity, weight losing drinks have come into existence. The cream has arrived, the machine has arrived , the training diet has arrived. To be honest, there is a whole industry going on and it is such an industry that you may or may not be able to get rid of your obesity but their pockets and their business are getting fatter every day.
And today we will explain this to you in detail. Obesity today is not just a word but a reality. The market has now bet on this truth. American pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly developed a vaccine and the claim about this vaccine was that this injection is the most effective weapon against fat. The company says that just do one course and a large part of the body will be reduced without any effort. There are different doses for different weights.
Calories Needed vs. Calories Consumed:-
Every day you are fighting a battle against your own body. Whatever you are eating like chips, cold drinks, packets, snacks etc, take some herb. You will become fat again. You pounce upon samosas, burgers, tikkis, momos on the roadside as if you are going to eat them for the last time in your life. And whenever any festival approaches, it seems as if the ghost of taste takes over. But this daily celebration of taste is slowly and silently bidding farewell to the body. How hungry you actually were, what you wanted to eat and what you ate. If you ever sit down and calculate, you will feel ashamed. But the sad thing is that our and your tongue is not ashamed. The plate gets cleaned before the stomach is full. And then the same story – increased weight, tiredness, breathlessness, sleep problems, sugar, BP pills and finally regret. So the story is not just about the stomach. This is a spoilt script of the entire system. And unless the lifestyle is changed, no vaccine will be of any use. The vaccine can only provide relief for a short time. But the root change will come only from your plate, thinking, tongue and habits. How much food does a human body actually need? 2000 to 2500 calories daily. A woman needs a little less. 1600 to 2000 calories. In this time the body’s work is done. The breath flows, the heart beats, the brain thinks, the arms and legs move.
Obesity: A Gateway to Disease:-
But the problem starts when more food than needed starts coming into the plate and then due to the tongue, the stomach’s calculations get spoiled. In the morning, my mother or my wife fed me parathas with great love. Then placed a thick butter tikki on that paratha. It feels like home cooked food. Made with love. But this is also not love but an attack on the stomach. One extra parantha, one spoon of butter, one glass of milk. These are the small things that slowly create fat stores in your body.
This obesity does not come in a day. It’s all a little bit of carelessness that adds up every day. In the beginning it seems nothing happens. But in a few years the tummy bulges out. The waist size increases and breathing becomes difficult while climbing stairs and then it is understood that what a big punishment the pleasure of the tongue has given to the body. You take a look around you. In every street, every office, every locality you will find people suffering from obesity. You will see a lot of extra fat in the body of two out of three people.
The Scary Trend Among Children:-
And this is no coincidence. This is the result of our plate and our habits. Unless the plate is changed, the situation will not change. Obesity is not just a physical burden in the country today. This is the hidden enemy that is eating me from the inside today. It is rapidly taking away lives. The report of the World Obesity Federation says that every year around 28 lakh people in the world die due to obesity. The reason is not direct obesity but the diseases born from it like heart attack, diabetes, cancer i.e. behind every major disease stands a big truth whose name is obesity. You can also look at India. The situation here is more dangerous. Direct death may be less visible but the door to disease opens due to obesity. Today there are more than 10 crore people in the country who are suffering from diabetes and the biggest reason for this is obesity. Meaning the disease did not come alone. Obesity brought him on his shoulders. But the most scary thing is that this obesity is now not leaving children. The Lancet report screams that India’s future is growing in weight faster than its GDP. By 2022, there were 1.25 crore children in the country who were overweight between the ages of 5 and 15 and now this figure has increased further. This means that we are not just increasing our stomachs but also reducing the health, possibilities and life breath of future generations. Now the question is not of weight but of accountability. The dirtiest game in the game of obesity is that of oil. Actually, we are not eating. We are pouring oil into our bodies.
Pouring Oil on Fire — Literally:-
Most of the fertilizer oil in the world is produced in India and most of it is also consumed in India. Mustard oil, peanut oil, soybean oil and vegetable oil together amount to 235 to 240 lakh metric tonnes of oil goes into our stomach every year. We neither look at the oil in our food nor do we consume so much oil that every year the government has to import oil from abroad. Now when so much of ghee, oil, butter goes into the body, it is natural that obesity will also come and along with it a separate market will also come up for obese people. Today in India, double excel, triple excel clothes have become a part of full fashion and they have a separate segment in the market. 5 years ago this share was only 12%. But today it is going to be 25%. Be it a Made in India brand or an international one, Global Desi, wherever you go, investments are being made on double axle and triple axle sizes. Because they know that obesity is not just a disease but has also become an opportunity for profit. It was a matter of clothes.
Every man wants to be slim. There are excuses to avoid doing yoga asanas and one starts feeling tired just on hearing the name of exercise. But everyone wants to look fit. Everyone wants to look good. Everyone wants a slim waist along with a glowing face and this is where the game of money starts. Someone is applying a slimming cream. Someone is tightening the shaping belt. Someone is hungry in keto diet. Someone is immersed in green tea. But obesity remains the same. Because we did not change our habits. Expenses increased.
A Culture of Excuses and Shortcuts:-
About 2022, the body fat reduction market in India was ₹24,700 crores. By 2030, this market will be worth Rs 54,000 crore. Now if we add the fitness industry, surgical treatment and health equipment to this, then this figure will reach Rs. 1.75 lakh crores. That is, first become fat by eating and drinking and then try to become slim by spending money and this whole racket is going on. And if you still do n’t become slim after this, then buy new products. Now you think whether it is a disease or a business. If the statistics are to be believed, India currently ranks second in the world in the weight war after China. In America, where the population is 33 crore, 17 crore people are obese. But obesity rates are highest in small countries like Taga.
Global Obesity: The Expanding World Problem:-
Where 72% people are obese. After that comes the world’s third smallest country, Nau, where 70% of the people are overweight. That means even though the countries are small, the expansion of their stomachs is being done like super powers. Even thousands of years ago, obesity was discussed. A statue dating back 3000 years has been found in Venice of Veldof which has the figure of a fat woman. This makes it clear that even then humans were aware of storing fat in the body. Perhaps it was then considered a sign of strength or prosperity. Obesity is mentioned in ancient texts. Hippocrates, the famous Greek physician, called obesity a disease and suggested its treatment.
Simple food and Russian food. Ancient Egyptian pages show symptoms similar to diabetes, which we know today is directly linked to obesity. In the 18th century, when food became available in abundance, people’s weight also started increasing. But the real danger was understood in the 20th century. When it was discovered that obesity is not just a fat body but a big step towards death. And it is the same story even today. Only the times have changed. Earlier, fat was considered ideal and was molded into dead bodies.
The Real Solution Lies in the Mirror:-
Now the same fat is being admitted to hospitals as a disease. Earlier, a fat body was a symbol of status. But now the same body has become a source of income for the doctors. If we do not take care now then the next generation will not only be fat but will also be sick. Obesity is not a fashion today. This is the trailer of your future destruction which you are releasing on a platter every day. In the food that is stuffed and in the stubbornness of the tongue that is destroying the body in the name of taste. Unless the tongue is controlled, the body cannot be under control and until then you can spend as much money as you want. No fat reducing cream, no magic diet, no injection or any baba ‘s panacea can cure this. The reality is that the market does not run for fat people but because of their weak willpower. Your obesity is their earning and unless you change yourself this game will continue like this. You will keep losing and keep getting fat. They will win and keep filling their pockets. Therefore, put a stop to obesity and first of all work a little on yourself. Sweat it out, convince yourself because if there is life then there is peace and if you are fit then only your future will be a hit.
