India’s big battle of the bulge – Breaking the obesity cycle at all ages – Insights from Meyer Vitabiotics forum

New Delhi (India), July 3: Obesity is a chronic, relapsing progressive disease defined by excessive adiposity that impairs health. A new term for obesity, i.e., ABCD or Adiposity Based Chronic Disease, has been coined to underline the need to recognize it as a chronic disease.

There has been a significant global increase in the obesity rate during the last 50 years. Being overweight or obese is linked with more deaths than being underweight. National Family Health Surveys (NHFS) analysis found that in India, 34.4% of men and 36.2% of women over the age of 18 years were living with overweight or obesity as of 2015–16. Additionally, there are over 40 million children under age five who are overweight. Carrying extra fat leads to serious health consequences such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis & endocrine disorders. 

The good news is that overweight and obesity are largely preventable. Obesity prevention is a critical factor in controlling Non-communicable diseases and psychological problems.  Lifestyle modification is the cornerstone of weight management. Orlistat is the only approved and available pharmacotherapeutic agent for obesity management in India at present. Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for severe obesity that leads to the improvement and remission of many obesity-related comorbidities.

Meyer Vitabiotics organized an academic forum involving world-renowned experts in the field of Obesity and nutrition on 24th June’23 to share their opinions and experiences.

More than 150 practitioners attended the session personally, and more than 40,000 healthcare professionals in Pan India were connected digitally. With enriched content and immense learning, this was one memorable experience amidst the need to break the obesity cycle.

Dr. Sanjay Borude (Ho. Bariatric Consultant, Jaslok Hospital) emphasized the consequences of obesity relevant to the clinical practice. He also highlighted the benefits & challenges of Bariatric surgery as a weight reduction option along with a Balanced diet & exercise.

Dr. Rahul Borude (Metabolic & Bariatric Surgeon, Raheja Hospital) shed light upon the under-recognized concern of Childhood & adolescent obesity. He updated guidelines to manage increasing weight in this age group & how it can impact the adult life of obese children, likely emphasizing the psychological aspects of adolescent obesity, stating obesity can significantly impact a young person’s self-esteem and body image, leading to feelings of low self-confidence and social isolation. Negative body image can contribute to mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and disordered eating patterns at that age. Addressing these psychological factors is essential for the comprehensive management of adolescent obesity and for promoting mental well-being.

Dr. Rahul Borude (Metabolic & Bariatric Surgeon, Raheja Hospital) also elaborated on the social implications that arise from adolescent obesity. Obese adolescents may face bullying, and discrimination, leading to social exclusion and can affect their social interactions. 

Mr. Rohit Shelatkar (Vice President, Vitabiotics Ltd. UK B.Pharm, MS Pharmacology, QPPV, Nutrition Expert) elaborated on the epigenetic role of Nutrient-rich diet, physical activity, and lifestyle changes such as sleep patterns and stress in obesity management. Further elaborated on how certain environmental factors can influence gene expression and contribute to the development of obesity. In the context of obesity, Mr.Rohit Shelatkar (Vice President, Vitabiotics Ltd. UK B.Pharm, MS Pharmacology, QPPV, Nutrition Expert) also mentioned epigenetic changes that can impact how genes are involved in appetite regulation, energy metabolism, fat storage, and certain epigenetic modifications might lead to an increased propensity for weight gain or altered metabolic functioning.

Surat (Gujarat) [India], July 1: With the evolution of human beings over billions of years, our ancestral genes eventually adapted to surviving on minimum food and putting in maximum activity to procure small amounts of food. This changed around 100 years back when the industrial revolution started. Since then, the maladaptation of our genes began, which might be the backbone of the etiology of the endemicity of cardiometabolic syndrome.

Nowadays, our younger generation is suffering from heart attacks, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and even sudden cardiac deaths of so-called “healthy young individuals”.

So let’s introspect. As I mentioned earlier, our genes were adapted to minimum food and maximum activity for billions of years, when suddenly, we got exposed to an abundance of food with the least physical activity. This could have led to confusion in our genetic makeup, subsequently leading to maladaptation, whose cumulative effects over the past 100 years could be a major behind the ever-increasing trend in cardiometabolic diseases.

We are aware that there is a multifactorial etiology for cardiometabolic endemicity apart from bad genes, which includes insulin resistance in the form of diabetes,  high body fat percentage, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, smoking and other forms of tobacco, high intake of saturated fat, refined carbohydrates, high intake of processed food, and so on.

Are we missing something in the list mentioned above?

Yes. We missed most of the important physiological need of our body to recover- Sleep.

We are suffering from lack of sleep and mental stress which is equally responsible for bad cardiovascular health.

A minimum of 8 hours of sound sleep is necessary, apart from a healthy diet and regular exercise for healthy heart and healthy mind.

Also, have you heard about “gut microbial diversity?” Our intestines have trillions of microbial, which are essential for good health and are indirectly associated with a healthy heart too. Mother nature has blessed us with this abundance of“ gut microbial diversity”, but we are rapidly losing many healthy gut microbial families, which might lead to bad gut health. Probable reasons for the lack of gut microbial diversity are processed food, food with artificial sweeteners, junk food, excessively refined carbohydrate, fried food, and many more environmental factors.

Now let’s discuss a bit about the circadian rhythm of the body. Our body was adapted to digest food and release certain healthy hormones according to the time of the day related to sunrise and sunset since time immemorial. For example, we get a high insulin spike if we eat simple carbohydrates or sugar at night which over time leads to insulin resistance, eventually giving rise to high chances of diabetes and an unhealthy heart.

So if we think out of the box, we should go back to the lifestyle of our grandparents. They used to eat before sunset and sleep early; they used to do heavy physical activity, and they used to eat staple food which was fresh and available at their local place. They had never heard of pizzas, burgers or ice-creams. They were eating less as compared to the physical activity they were doing. And i want to stress this because, as a cardiologist, I feel really bad when I need to do angioplasties of young people who suffer from heart attacks and diabetes.

Now, let’s come to the most highly discussed disease of recent times, Covid, and its effect on the heart. I feel that Covid, like a warning bell, has unmasked as well as accelerated the cumulative unhealthy cardiovascular health at a mass level. It has detrimental effects on our endothelium, which is the innermost layer of the arteries which supply blood to the heart muscle. But the negative effect of Covid on our endothelium is reversible and temporary if people would have adapted a healthier lifestyle like that of our forefathers as a rehabilitation programme. Rather we started becoming more unhealthy in the post covid era as a boomerang kind of behaviour.

So to summarize, what should we do now to have a healthy heart??

Check your risk factors for heart disease. Do you have any family history of heart disease? Are you diabetic? Are you a smoker? Do you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol? Are you living a sedentary or unhealthy lifestyle for many years? Then check your heart periodically even if there are no evident symptoms. And keep an eye out for the indicators of heart disease.

Any symptoms which worsen on exercise or exertion, or activity might be related to a bad heart, whether it is chest pain or breathlessness or fatigue or palpitation.

My dictum for heart disease is “ Any unusual symptoms from ear lobule to umbilicus which increase on walking or exercise, might be related to heart disease, go and get your heart checked in such cases.”

New Delhi (India), July 1: Hair fall is the most dreaded phenomenon, especially in the monsoon, anyone can experience it, be it women or men. Apart from the average daily 100 hair strand fall, the pleasant monsoons can quickly turn unpleasant by being harsh on your hair if proper routine hair care and nourishment is not provided to your hair. And if your hair loss is worsening and unmanageable, then here we will enlighten you with the best hair fall control solutions available for you. Be sure to take care of those pretty tresses or you will lose them for sure!

Why does hair fall happen in the monsoon?

As it is universally known that wet hair is very delicate and falls apart very easily, you will need to take care of it like you are stepping on broken glass. Moreover, the humidity levels in the environment are very high and so the hair is all the more, weaker every minute of the day leading to excess hair fall and so in such situations, it is natural to seek for hair fall solutions.

Major causes of hair fall in monsoon

The primary causes of hair fall in monsoon include:

• Not drying your hair in time and leaving wet hair tied up for too long.

• The humidity around us makes the hair weaker and combing wet hair can even worsen hair loss.

• The natural oils of the hair are also stripped off and the hair root may become fragile, causing intensive hair fall.

• Drying your hair too often with blow dryers and such other heating devices can cause havoc for your hair.

• Due to the monsoon, people may be inattentive and not follow the routine hair care like washing and conditioning your hair effectively.
• The uncertainty of weather from cool or dry to extreme humid, can cause frizzy hair and lead to hair damage.

• The dampness in the scalp is a good breeding area for germs so infections are not uncommon in monsoon.

• To top it all, not following a nutritive diet can be an additional major reason for hair loss.

• Certain conditions may be the reason for hair loss, like stress, hormone issues, scalp infections, pregnancy, childbirth, etc.

Is it normal to lose hair in the monsoon?

It is quite common to lose hair in monsoon if proper precautions are not taken to preserve that beautiful head of hair you have. Monsoon can provoke worries about hair care, but you must not let it affect you and make your hair wonderful with these suggestions to prevent further hair fall:

• Drying your hair properly with the help of micro-fiber towels instead of rubbing it with harsh cloth or tying it up helps.

• Avoid using too much heat in the form of blow dryers, flat irons, curlers, etc.

• Following excellent shampooing and conditioning routine to avoid hair fall.

• Treating yourself to a warm oil massage, as it serves a dual purpose of relaxing you and also hydrating your scalp and enhancing your blood circulation.

• Using a wide-tooth wooden comb to de-tangle your precious locks in order to decrease the static charge that can cause all the more hair loss.

• Sleeping well and exercising regularly also helps a lot, along with avoiding alcohol and smoking that can all do wonders for your hair.

How Homeopathy helps prevent hair fall in monsoon

PCOS, the most common lifestyle disease among young women, is characterized by hormonal imbalance. Symptoms include menstrual irregularities, unwanted hair growth (hirsutism), subfertility, and resistant weight gain. Elevated levels of male hormones (testosterone) and insulin resistance are the main culprits behind these problems. They lead to anovulation and increase the risk of other metabolic diseases. While there is no permanent cure for PCOS, its effects can be managed through lifestyle changes and guidance from a gynecologist. To maintain hormonal and physical health, engage in regular physical exercises such as walking and household chores. Practice mindful eating by following a balanced, hypo-caloric diet. Prioritize mental health through stress reduction techniques and enjoyable activities. Regular check-ups and adherence to prescribed treatments are essential. Seek support from loved ones or support groups if feelings of loneliness, anxiety, or depression arise. By implementing these recommendations, PCOS can be effectively managed, promoting overall well-being.

PCOS, a severe form of PCOD, is a metabolic disorder characterized by hormonal imbalance, causing irregular ovulation, menstrual problems, infertility, acne and skin darkening, loss of scalp hair, unwanted hair growth on the body and face, fatigue, weight gain, pelvic pain, and multiple small cysts in the ovaries. Heredity and stress play important roles. Excess androgen, insulin, and chronic low-grade inflammation are involved. Complications include type 2 diabetes, hypertension, vascular disease, stroke, obesity, mental health issues, sleep apnea, pregnancy complications, and endometrial cancer. Regular screening for BP, glucose, lipids, hormones, anxiety, depression, and sleep apnea is crucial. Lifestyle changes, diet modifications, and hormone treatment are key. Maintain a healthy weight, be active, exercise, follow a low-carb diet, and prioritize sleep. Both PCOS and PCOD are common disorders, yet they are often treated as something shameful, to be kept under wraps, due to their association with menstrual periods, which is considered a secret zone. Education about menstruation, sex, and sexuality is vital to combat stigma and misinformation surrounding these common disorders.

PCOS, the most common lifestyle disease among young women, is characterized by hormonal imbalance. Symptoms include menstrual irregularities, unwanted hair growth (hirsutism), subfertility, and resistant weight gain. Elevated levels of male hormones (testosterone) and insulin resistance are the main culprits behind these problems. They lead to anovulation and increase the risk of other metabolic diseases. While there is no permanent cure for PCOS, its effects can be managed through lifestyle changes and guidance from a gynecologist. To maintain hormonal and physical health, engage in regular physical exercises such as walking and household chores. Practice mindful eating by following a balanced, hypo-caloric diet. Prioritize mental health through stress reduction techniques and enjoyable activities. Regular check-ups and adherence to prescribed treatments are essential. Seek support from loved ones or support groups if feelings of loneliness, anxiety, or depression arise. By implementing these recommendations, PCOS can be effectively managed, promoting overall well-being.

In today’s era, it is crucial for us to understand the prevalence and impact of PCOS, as it seems that every second patient walking into my clinic is suffering from this condition. While much attention has been given to the hormonal aspects of PCOS, its effects on mental well-being are often ignored or overlooked. PCOS, the most common endocrine disorder affecting about 20% of women of reproductive age in Western society, is strongly associated with infertility, with at least 90% of women attending fertility clinics having PCOS. The symptoms of PCOS, such as hirsutism, obesity, acne, and infertility, can be painful, uncomfortable, and culturally defined as unfeminine and undesirable. Moreover, the disorder is linked to biochemical disturbances that can lead to mood disturbances. Interviews with women with PCOS reveal a prevailing theme of feeling “freakish” and being unable to conform to societal norms of femininity. Reduced quality of life is experienced by those with PCOS, manifesting as sexual dissatisfaction, depression, anxiety, bodily pain, weight difficulties, and impaired interpersonal functioning.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that affects many women, causing symptoms like irregular periods, acne, weight gain, hair loss, and insulin resistance. These symptoms make it challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle and increase the risk of other health issues. Hormone regulation is crucial for managing PCOS symptoms and improving overall health outcomes. To achieve this, conscious steps must be taken towards a better lifestyle and habits. Some simple tips for hormone regulation in women with PCOS include maintaining a healthy diet, achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, managing stress through techniques like meditation and yoga, considering supplements like chromium and omega-3s, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol, managing insulin resistance with healthcare provider guidance, and prioritizing quality sleep. By following these tips, women with PCOS can take control of their hormone regulation, leading to better health and well-being.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is among the most common causes of infertility in women. The proportion of women being diagnosed with PCOS has increased over the last decade. This increase can be primarily attributed to lifestyle choices. The features of PCOS include irregular menstruation, acne, weight gain, and hair loss/gain. The exact cause of PCOS is unknown, but factors such as insulin resistance, excess androgen production, and genetic predisposition could play a role.

Diagnosing PCOS involves a combination of assessing medical history, physical examinations, performing laboratory tests, including measuring hormone levels and conducting ultrasound imaging of the ovaries. Managing PCOS requires treating individual components through therapy and counselling. The choice of therapy depends on whether the patient is seeking pregnancy or not.

PCOS is a manageable condition, and women should not become overly worried. The foundation of management lies in making lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, and managing weight.

Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles, diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without periods. It can occur in the 40s or 50s. The average age for Indian women to stop menstruating is around 48 to 50 years. Premature menopause refers to menopause before 40 years, while delayed menopause occurs after 52 years. This natural process brings physical symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, difficulty losing weight (especially around the abdomen), and emotional disruptions such as sleep disturbances, reduced energy, anxiety, and anger. Vaginal dryness, decreased libido, increased urinary frequency, and irregular cycles are also common. Thinning hair, increased facial hair, breast changes, and dry or pigmented skin can be distressing. Diagnosis is straightforward, and treatment varies based on symptom severity and medical conditions. Topical lubricants or estrogen can address vaginal dryness, while medications, hormonal or non-hormonal, can alleviate hot flashes. Hormone replacement therapy may be prescribed under medical supervision. Lifestyle adjustments, calcium supplements, vitamin D, exercise, sunscreen, and meditation aid in managing menopausal symptoms. Regular follow-up with a gynecologist is crucial for heart and bone health.

On this Doctor’s Day, I would like everyone to acknowledge the importance of the First-Trimester Genetic Scan.

Down syndrome (DS) is the most common cause of developmental delay and accounts for 15-30% of individuals with intellectual disability. In India, 21,400 children with DS are born every year.

The NT/NB scan, when performed properly at 11-13+6 weeks of pregnancy, has an accuracy of around 70% in screening for DS. If the Double Marker test is added to the NT/NB scan, the sensitivity increases to 92-95%. Apart from screening for DS, the first-trimester scan can detect structural abnormalities (birth defects) in the developing baby. New guidelines also suggest that it is an excellent time to screen for the risk of developing hypertension and preterm labor in pregnancy. Therefore, screening for both fetal and maternal conditions at the right time ensures a healthy pregnancy outcome.

“Screening for maternal and fetal conditions in pregnancy and timely intervention ensures a healthy pregnancy outcome!”

Gynecologists, with their specialized knowledge, diagnostic skills, and up-to-date research, offer valuable insights into the management of PCOS and hormonal imbalances. They provide personalized treatment plans, lifestyle recommendations, and ongoing support to help women regain hormonal balance and improve their overall well-being.

It is wisely said, “You don’t have to brush all your teeth but brush all the ones you want to keep”. Maintaining consistent oral hygiene habits is of utmost importance for optimal dental health. It is crucial to brush your teeth twice a day using fluoride toothpaste and to floss daily. These essential practices should never be overlooked. If you wear braces, incorporating a special orthodontic brush or water flosser can help you effectively clean those hard-to-reach areas, preventing plaque build-up. Regular dental check-ups are especially vital, particularly during orthodontic treatment, as they allow for early detection of any issues. Professional cleanings also play a crucial role in removing plaque and tartar, safeguarding your teeth from decay and gum disease. Minimize your consumption of sugary and acidic foods, and instead, opt for a nutrient-rich diet that includes ample fruits, vegetables, and calcium. Furthermore, it is crucial to avoid detrimental habits like nail biting, chewing on pens, or using your teeth as tools, as these behaviours can cause damage and compromise your oral health. By following these recommendations and maintaining open communication with your dentist, you can achieve and maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.

Maintaining oral health is crucial for overall well-being and healthy teeth. Issues like cavities, bleeding and infected gums, and missing teeth can cause problems such as improper chewing, stomach issues, headaches (TMJ), facial pains, and acid reflux. To ensure good oral health, proper self-care is vital. This includes brushing teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing between teeth, and using mouthwash regularly. A diet that includes raw fruits and vegetables, particularly in the form of salads, along with fibrous foods can help clean the teeth while chewing. It is also important to reduce the consumption of sugary and acidic foods and beverages to prevent tooth decay and enamel erosion. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings, typically recommended every six months, are essential for early detection and treatment of dental problems. Additional treatments like fluoride treatments, dental sealants, or orthodontic interventions may be recommended based on individual needs. By following these practices and seeking professional care, one can maintain optimal oral health and enjoy a healthy smile for years to come.

Medical check-ups for kids should include visits to the dentist and orthodontist to align their teeth and achieve that perfect smile.

When deciding to get teeth aligned, there are important points to consider. Orthodontic treatment requires a long-term commitment, with visits scheduled once a month or every two months. Find an orthodontist who is adequately qualified, experienced, and available full-time. During the first visit for evaluation, take time to fully understand the diagnosis, treatment plan, and pros and cons of each appliance. Obtain diagnostic records like X-rays, scans, and photographs for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Avoid preconceived notions about tooth extraction or non-extraction and age barriers. The first visit to the orthodontist should ideally be around 7 years of age. Focus on understanding the treatment plan, costs, payment options, and retention period.

Follow instructions for oral hygiene and dietary restrictions. Maintain regular follow-up visits and wear retainers as recommended. Avoid relying on remote services without professional supervision. Treatment costs vary, so avoid comparing them between different patients. Have realistic expectations and trust the orthodontist’s expertise to achieve a confident smile.

On this Doctor’s Day, let us recognize and thank the dentists who tirelessly work to create healthy and beautiful smiles. Their dedication to improving oral health, their personalized care, and their commitment to patient well-being is truly commendable.
