Carrying excess weight — especially around the belly — raises the risk of diabetes, high BP, high cholesterol, fatty liver, PCOS, joint problems, and heart disease. When several of these cluster together (belly fat, high sugar, high BP, abnormal lipids) it is called metabolic syndrome. Indians develop these risks at lower body weights. The good news: even modest, steady weight loss and activity dramatically improve health.
When to see a doctor
🚨TURANT 108 — Seene mein dard/saans phoolna, ya stroke signs (achanak ek-taraf kamzori, bolne/dekhne mein dikkat) — metabolic risk se
⚠️DOCTOR KO DIKHAO — Badi waist + high sugar/BP/cholesterol (metabolic syndrome), ya weight ke saath thakaan/snoring/joint pain
⚠️DOCTOR KO DIKHAO — Weight badhne ke peeche thyroid/PCOS/medicine cause ho sakta — check karwao
Emergency: 112 · 102 · 108
