Abstract

Globally obesity and overweight are linked to more deaths worldwide than underweight. India, rigorous for malnutrition, is now a land of obesity. Obesity in India has reached epidemic proportions in the 21st century, with ghoulish obesity affecting 5% of the country's population. India is following a trend of other developing countries that are steadily becoming more obese. Carrying excess weight increases risk of diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis, liver disease and certain types of cancer. If anyone is struggling with overweight, a number of low-calorie, high-fiber fruits and veggie options can fit into any healthy weight-loss plan.
