From increasing the chances of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease to causing hormonal imbalance, infertility, depression, and chronic joint pain, obesity harms both physical and emotional health. What is more alarming is India’s rise as a global hub for obesity-related health problems, with over 55 million obese individuals.

Understanding the underlying causes and consequences of obesity is the first step toward managing it better. At Dr Batra’s® , we believe prevention starts with awareness. That’s why we offer homeopathy-based solutions that go beyond just managing weight. These personalised treatments address root-level issues like hormonal imbalance, metabolic disturbances, and emotional stress, ensuring safer and more sustainable health outcomes.

Common Obesity-Related Health Problems

  • Heart disease: Obesity raises the risk of high blood pressure, blocked arteries, stroke, and heart attacks.
  • Type-2 diabetes: Excess weight impacts how your body uses insulin, leading to insulin resistance and diabetes.
  • Cancer risk: Being overweight increases the risk of breast, colon, endometrial, and gallbladder cancers.
  • Osteoarthritis: Added pressure on joints wears down cartilage, causing pain and stiffness.
  • Sleep disorders: Obesity may lead to sleep apnea and other breathing issues during sleep.
  • Hormonal imbalances: Can trigger early puberty, menstrual issues, and other endocrine problems.
  • Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS): Breathing issues that lead to too much carbon dioxide and low oxygen levels.
  • Gallstones: Higher cholesterol from obesity increases gallstone formation.

Insight from a study by ACS Journals

A study published by ACS Publishers found that homoeopathy combined with lifestyle changes led to a 60% improvement in obesity cases, compared to 27% with a placebo, proving its effectiveness in reducing BMI when followed with discipline and a proper regimen.

Emotional and Childhood Impact of Obesity

  • Low self-esteem: Weight issues affect confidence, especially among teenagers and young adults.
  • Depression and anxiety: Obesity is linked with mood disorders and emotional struggles.
  • Childhood risks: Children who are obese are more likely to face health issues like asthma, poor mobility, and even kidney problems in adulthood.

Dr Batra’s® pro tip:

If you feel constantly tired, breathless, or suffer from frequent joint pain, do not just blame age or lifestyle. These could be signs of obesity-related health problems.
