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.”
