Nutritionist Shares 5 Tips For Sustainable Weight Loss To Tackle Obesity Crisis In India
Obesity has become one of the rising health issues in India. On Saturday, nutritionist Nmami Agarwal posted a video on Instagram to highlight the issue and what can be done to get rid of obesity. The nutritionist shared a clip from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day speech at Red Fort, Delhi. In the clip, PM Modi can be seen speaking about obesity and how India needs to tackle it. Then, we see Nmami saying, "Obesity rates in India are rising, particularly amongst women and children." She added, "According to the National Family Health Survey, 24% of Indian women and 23% of Indian men are obese or overweight." In her caption, Nmami Agarwal wrote, "PM Modi just called out India's obesity crisis on Independence Day... and as a nutritionist, I can tell you why this is serious. India today isn't just battling undernutrition anymore. We're battling obesity too. Obesity rates are climbing fast thanks to high-oil cooking, processed foods, irregular meal timings, and low physical activity. The Prime Minister suggested cutting oil use by 10% - that's a great start." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nmami - Dietitian|Nutritionist (@nmamiagarwal) Tips for healthy and sustainable weight loss 1. Balance your plate Make sure each meal includes a good mix of fibre-rich foods and protein to keep you full and satisfied for longer. 2. Cut back on sugar and packaged snacks. Reduce your intake of sugary items and avoid processed or packaged snacks that add unnecessary calories. 3. Stay active daily Keep your body moving every day, whether it is through a walk, simple stretches, or a workout routine that suits you. 4. Get quality sleep Prioritise proper rest at night, as lack of sleep can affect your hunger hormones and make weight control harder. 5. Focus on consistency Stick to healthy habits regularly instead of following quick-fix diets that do not last. "Remember, obesity is not just about what you put on your plate, it is also influenced by genetics, hormones, stress, sleep and your surroundings," Nmami Agarwal concluded.

Festive Spirit High, Mumbai Cops Enforce Road Safety With 10,051 E-Challans, Hospitals Remain On Alert
Last Updated: The challans were issued on Sunday for traffic violations such as riding without helmets, wrong-side driving, triple-seat riding, and over-speeding, amounting to over Rs 1.13 crore Mumbai's streets came alive on Sunday with the high-energy celebrations of Dahi Handi, where thousands of Govindas formed human pyramids across neighbourhoods to break the symbolic earthen pots. While the city's festive spirit soared, authorities ensured that safety and discipline remained top priorities. According to Mumbai Police, a total of 10,051 spot e-challans were issued during the day for traffic violations such as riding without helmets, wrong-side driving, triple-seat riding, and over-speeding. The total penalties amounted to over Rs 1.13 crore. Police officials said CCTV scanning is still underway, and more electronic challans are expected to follow. 'Our aim is not just enforcement but ensuring that citizens remain safe during the celebrations," a senior police officer noted. On the healthcare front, hospitals across the city reported 210 Govindas injured during pyramid formations and related festivities. Data shared by civic and government hospitals show that while many suffered minor injuries, most were treated promptly and discharged. Mumbai Town hospitals recorded 91 cases, with 60 still under treatment and 31 discharged. Eastern suburbs saw 45 injuries, of which only five remain under treatment. Western suburbs reported 74 cases, with just four still receiving medical care. Ambulances were stationed near major Dahi Handi venues, while hospitals remained on alert. Organisers had also been directed by authorities to ensure that safety nets, harnesses, and medical aid were made available at bigger events. For Mumbaikars, the day symbolised the city's unique blend of tradition, energy, and resilience. The sounds of dhol-tasha, the sight of pyramids reaching towards the matki, and the cheers of crowds painted a vibrant picture of Mumbai's festive pulse. At the same time, the vigilance of the police and medical teams underscored the importance of celebrating responsibly. Now, the big task ahead for Mumbai Police is the Ganesh festival starting from August 27. During the 10-day festival, several VVIPS visit Mumbai to seek blessings at the Siddhivinayak Temple and Lalbaug Raja Pandal. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
