Waist Size Warning: Health Risks Above 90 Centimetres

Control Belly Fat: Beware! If your waist measures more than 90 centimeters, it could be dangerous for your health. Excess fat around the abdomen negatively impacts your internal organs.

How to Reduce Fat: “A deteriorating lifestyle and poor diet have put the health of Indians at risk. Unfortunately, Indians consider obesity not as a disease, but as a sign of a prosperous household. Because of this, they are falling prey to numerous diseases including diabetes and blood pressure. A waist size exceeding 90 cm for men and 80 cm for women poses a significant health risk.” This information was provided by Endocrinologist Padmabhushan Dr. Ambrish Mittal.

Dr. Mittal was the chief guest at an event organised by the Health and Lifestyle Committee of the Merchants Chamber of Uttar Pradesh. He discussed ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle in the current times and attributed modern lifestyles as the cause of diabetes and obesity.

Obesity: Dangerous for Liver and Heart

Dr. Mittal explained the role of hormones in the human body and how to maintain their balance. He stated that children today are not as physically active as they were 20-25 years ago. Junk food, market-bought and canned food, and excessive mobile phone use while sitting at home are leading to obesity in children. Excess weight in childhood is not good; it leads to diabetes by the time they reach adulthood. Hidden obesity around the abdomen is dangerous for the liver and heart.

Dr. A.S. Prasad, Dr. Awadh Dubey, Mukul Tandon, Dr. I.M. Rohtagi, Dr. Umesh Paliwal, Dr. Atul Kapoor, and Mahendra Modi were present. Discussions with experts were also held on several health-related questions.
