Why Obesity Is Rising in India

Processed & Junk Food Boom

Rapid urbanization has increased access to processed, fried, and sugary foods, which contribute to fat accumulation and poor nutrition.

Sedentary Lifestyles

More screen time, desk jobs, and reduced physical activity have resulted in fewer calories being burned throughout the day.

Lack of Awareness

Many people remain unaware of what constitutes a balanced diet and often underestimate the health impact of everyday food choices.

Portion Sizes & Overeating

Cultural habits of overfeeding guests and family contribute to habitual overeating, especially during festivals and gatherings.

High Sugar Consumption

Sweet-heavy Indian diets and soft drinks are leading to increased fat storage and insulin resistance among both kids and adults.

Stress & Sleep Disorders

Growing stress levels and lack of quality sleep are affecting hormone balance, leading to binge eating and weight gain.

Lack of Physical Education

Schools and families often overlook fitness. Many children grow up without being encouraged to engage in regular physical activity.
