Obesity is a common problem amongst Indians where fat is usually synonymous with "health.”.

Being Over weight or Obese can become a major cause for a number of diseases like heart problems, and diabetes. Diet must be watched and monitored and regular exercise introduced in one’s daily routine. The good old morning walk is a wonderful practice to introduce in one’s daily life. The fresh air in the morning provides powerful natural nourishment which also helps bring about balance in the body.

A few Pranayama practices like Bhastrika Pranayama and Kapal Bhati Pranayama in Yoga are very helpful in getting rid of excessive fat.

Obesity in children has become a major concern worldwide. There is increasing evidence that the fast food diet of chips, burgers, pizzas and colas on which many children live, is a significant factor in childhood obesity. Children should be made aware of the health risks they are taking on by indulging in fast food.
