Weight Gain

The weight gain is an important issue of discuss in everyones life.. Even mine too.. The first thing someone ask us while meeting us after few weeks even is about weight only mostly.. may be gain or loss..Either of is important for us.

Weight of the person depends mainly on the nourishment and genetic background of him.. Most of us have normal weight gain during our life time but mostly occurs in the Toddler period and the adolescent and young adult periods of our life time....

Whatever may be the thing weight for height in terms of BMI(Basic Metabolic Index) plays a vital role in determining whether ta person is obese or not..


BMI=     Weight in Kilograms     
          Square of  Height in metre


BMI values...
                      <16           - Severely Underweight
                        16-18.5    -Underweight
                       18.5-25    -Normal
                       25-30      -Overweight
                       30-35      -Obese class I
                       35-40      -Obese class II
                       >40        -Obese class III


The rapid weight is normal only pregnancy that too to a certain extent only....Otherwise its mostly abnormal and has a deleterious effect on us.. Mostly Increased weight gain is due to over eating or over feeding, hypothyroidism,sedentary work,High carbohydrate and fat diet mostly junk foods..This will lead on to obesity which is the most deadly disease for man kind causing lots of diseases consequently like atheroslerosis,Myocardial infarction,hypertension,stroke,diabetes mellitus ....

The only best way for prevention and treatment weight gain is a mixed balanced diet(based on the requirement for the concerned person depending on his type of work ) with adequate exercise..
Surgical treatment of morbid obesity is Liposuction. Liposuction yield good results physically immediately but has to be maintained through strict diet and exercise
