As per one report nearly 14 percent of British youngsters are

clinically obese. The cost of obesity to the NHS in UK is about £ 1

billion a year. By 2010 the number of overweight and obese youngsters

in the European Union nations is expected to hit 26 million. An

estimated 20,000 obese youngsters will have type 2 diabetes as per

another report.

Obesity put strain on heart, respiratory and eliminatory system. It

also increases the chances of diabetes, hypertension and heart

diseases. Generally it is seen that obese people are also lower in

vitality.

Obesity occurs in mostly two types of people. In stressful people who

eat very fast and in excess and secondly in household person who eat

from boredom. As the people put on weight they tend to become less

happy because of their appearance and become more frustrated. Some

people think by taking insufficient food can help in reducing weight.

But when they start dieting, body starts to slow down in order to

conserve energy and boost its chances of survival. This is why weight

loss tends to slow down as we continue to diet. So in a way dieting

is not the good method for reducing weight.

The most common cause of obesity is overeating and less physical

movement. Overeating problem is coupled with poor diet and also wrong

timing of eating said Subodh Gupta, Yoga expert from India. In fact

to fight growing obesity among children, some of the schools in the

UK are planning to introduce yoga for thousands of young students.

This is an excellent step in the direction of fighting the obesity

problem of UK.

Yoga practice provides an excellent means for maintaining balanced

weight and overcoming obesity problem, provided a daily yoga program

is followed with regular routine according to Subodh Gupta Yoga

expert based in London.

Gentle yoga asana (postures) followed by Sun salutation exercise are

very good for removing blockages and librating pranic energy in our

body and helpful in revitalizing the body and mind. One should do

yoga exercise to their comfort level but never to strain oneself.

Yoga asana (postures) helps in building up strength and vitality

slowly but surely. Yoga Exercise does not have to be intense or

vigorous, but it must be regular and should amount to at least 30

minutes a day. Along with Yoga exercise, healthy diet at proper time

and practice of relaxation technique is very helpful for overcoming

obesity and maintaining balanced weight.
