Say No to Obesity, Pledge to Shed Weight
 November
26th was marked as "Anti Obesity Day"
in future calenders. VLCC (Vandana Luthra'sCurls
and Curves) Slimming and Beauty for Men
and Women and the Indian Medical Association
(IMA) have joined forces to crusade against
this disease and spread awareness as to
how one can fight obesity with proper guidance
and methods. Obesity is a silent killer,
and more importantly, a harbringer of various
life-threatening diseases like Hypertension,
Heart Attack, Osteo-Arthritis, Diabetes,
Gall bladder stones and impotency.
 Obesity
can be viewed as a consequence of the interaction
between environmental forces and the individual
genetic substrate. These genes enhance the
storage of food when food intake is in abundance
and energy expenditure is reduced. To mark
this occasion, all the VLCC centres throughout
the country will be hosting a number of
camps and health quizzes along with a low
calorie recipe contest. VLCC also had some
surprise discount offers for all those who
registered on the 26th November.
VLCC also had free counseling and body composition
camps for all obese patients. The VLCC Anti-Obesity
campaign aims to go a long way in making
India more literate about the devastating
effects that obesity poses on the overall
health of an individual.
