In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, obesity has emerged as a major health concern. Many people fail to realize that rising body weight not only alters one’s physical appearance but also deeply impacts almost every organ of the body as well as mental well-being. Dr. Deepak Kohli, a renowned medical expert at Kohli Hospital, Dhariwal, explains that obesity gradually and silently becomes the root cause of several diseases—many of which can be controlled if addressed in time.
According to Dr. Kohli, excessive weight puts additional pressure on the heart, increasing the risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks, and strokes. Furthermore, improper utilization of insulin in the body significantly raises the chances of developing type-2 diabetes. Extra fat also strains the joints, leading to knee pain, back pain, and conditions like osteoarthritis. The impact of obesity isn’t limited to the body alone; it can heavily influence mental health as well. Persistent weight gain often leads to low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and even depression.
Dr. Kohli emphasizes that obesity can be completely prevented and managed by adopting a healthy lifestyle at the right time. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and stress control are the key measures. He also advises people not to ignore continuous weight gain or any related health symptoms and to undergo medical checkups periodically.
Kohli Hospital (A Unit of EMC Hospitals), Dhariwal offers modern facilities and expert medical guidance for managing obesity and its related conditions. The hospital aims to create awareness about health and encourage people to lead better, more balanced lives.
