Obesity is a growing health concern globally, including in India. According to a study published in the Lancet in 2021, the number of obese people in India has more than tripled over the past four decades, from 9.8 million in 1975 to 30.7 million in 2016. This trend is alarming and has significant implications for public health and the economy.
There are several factors contributing to the rising levels of obesity in India. One major reason is the changing dietary habits and the increasing consumption of high-calorie foods. With the rapid economic growth and urbanization in recent decades, there has been a significant shift in dietary patterns from traditional, plant-based diets to a more Westernized diet high in processed foods, meat, and sugar. Fast food chains and snack companies have also expanded their presence in India, offering cheap, convenient, and highly processed foods that are high in calories and low in nutrients.
