Diabetes – An Endemic for India



India is currently facing a growing public health crisis as metabolic and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) become increasingly endemic across the country. According to the 2023 report by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the rise in diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and related conditions poses a significant challenge for both individuals and healthcare systems. The report, based on the extensive ICMR-INDIAB study, sheds light on the alarming statistics: 101 million people in India now live with diabetes, while an additional 136 million are prediabetic​.

Rising Tide of NCDs in India

The burden of NCDs goes beyond diabetes. The ICMR study also found that:

  • 315 million people suffer from hypertension
  • 254 million individuals have generalized obesity
  • 351 million report abdominal obesity
  • 213 million have hypercholesterolemia, with 185 million displaying elevated levels of LDL or “bad” cholesterol.

These conditions are widespread across both urban and rural areas, with some regional disparities. Southern and northern states like Kerala, Puducherry, and Goa show particularly high prevalence rates. In contrast, northeastern and central India have somewhat lower rates, although the gap is narrowing.

Omega 6 fatty acids are derived from sunflower, soy, corn oils, sesame etc. To derive these fatty acids companies compress the seeds at high pressure to extract the oil from them and later the oil is heated at high temperature.

However, it's important to note that doing so may not be necessary or beneficial for everyone, and should be approached with caution. If you decide to do two workouts in one day, it's important to plan your routine carefully to avoid overtraining or injury and to have appropriate rest along with nutrition.  Doing two workouts in a single day can be good for some people, but it depends on several factors.
