Using Nutrition Intake As A Tool To Maintain Weight For A Healthy Life

Abstract

In the present scenario, maintain weigh has gained a lot of significance with increasing affluence. Excess weight is the result of long term and consistent consumption of much more calories than you are able to expand, irrespective of the etiology. Thus the emphasis in treating obesity has shifted from mere weight loss to weight management. For example efforts should be directed towards attaining the desirable weight in relation to overall health. The result of recently conducted study on prevalence of obesity in Delhi by the nutrition federation of India has projected that nearly one third of the male and more than half of females belonging to upper middle class in India are currently overweight with higher prevalence of abdominal obesity. 40-50 million subjects belonging to upper middle class are overweight in India. If this trend continues, the situation can get worse even within a decade and obesity can emerge as the single most important public health problem in adults.
