Obesity is the most common and biggest health problem not just in a country but, in the world as well. It travels through various diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, dementia, and stroke, which combined kills millions of people every year. A person is said to be obese if the body mass index (BMI) of that person is 30 or above. The obesity surgeon in Delhi mentions the different range of BMI used to determine the category of weight and height.

Formula to calculate body mass index: BMI = weight (in kg) / height2 (m2).

  • If the BMI is less than 18.5, a person falls in the range of underweight
  • If the BMI is between 18.5 to 25, a person falls in the normal range
  • If the BMI is 25.0 to 20, a person is said to be overweight
  • If the BMI is 30.0 or more, a person is said to be obese.

But, the question here is why you need undergoing an obesity surgery in Delhi and not others? The reason can be several, some of them are mentioned below. Check them out to get an answer of your query.

  • Calories and poor diet – Calories are the energy value of the food that we intake. The obesity surgeon in Delhi states that physically active man requires the average calories of about 2500 a day, whereas, physically active woman requires the average calories of about 2000 a day to maintain a healthy weight respectively. The values sound high but can be easily reached with a single meal of hamburger, fries, and a milkshake with a total of 1500 calories. Thus, obesity doesn’t happen overnight, but, it happens when a person constantly follows the unhealthy diet and poor lifestyle such as:
  • Eating too much junk food
  • Too much alcohol consumption
  • Drinking too many sugary drinks like cold drinks
  • Comfort eating (to relieve the stress or depression)
  • Lack of physical activity – As the technology is advancing, people are lacking physical activities in their everyday life. It is essential that the number of calories we intake needs to be consumed in some or other ways. And the majority of patients are advised for an obesity surgery in Delhi because they fail to consume their calories and that extra calories get stored in the body as fat. People rely on the television and smartphone for the entertainment and use their vehicles to travel minor distance.
