Abstract:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is common in childbearing age and leads to issues with infertility. Such women are overweight or obese and also less sensitive to insulin or are insulin resistant as high levels of insulin cause the body to store more fat. Th ese women are more likely to develop problems related with weight gain and insulin resistance like: Infertility, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension. In PCOS, the ovaries produce excessive amounts of male sex hormones, or androgens. Th e name of the disease derives from small cysts that form on the ovaries, which do not produce enough of the hormone that triggers ovulation. When this occurs, the ovarian follicles, which have fi lled with fl uid in preparation for ovulation, remain as cysts when ovulation fails to take place. In addition to infertility, symptoms include excessive hair growth in areas that usually are relatively hairless; obesity; menstrual irregularity; thinning or balding hair on the scalp; prediabetes or diabetes; and anxiety or depression. Weight loss in these women leads to higher chances of conception, improved pregnancy outcomes and improved metabolic profi le. In PCOS, weight loss of even just 10% can improve insulin sensitivity thus benefi ting infertility besides other symptoms

Abstract:
According to WHO expert consultationby 2015 more than 700 million individuals worldwide will be obese. Th e etiology of obesity is multifactorial with interaction between genetic, individual and environmental factors. Even if genetics plays an important role, behavioral factors like poor diet and physical inactivity are the main causes linked to obesity. Recent studies have reported that the role expression of food addiction problem and development of obesity. Moreover Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and overeating, particularly excessive consumption of palatable foods. It can also trigger a perturbation of the homeostatic set point. Conventional weight loss program that included the use of very low-calorie diets, behavioral programs, exercise, drug therapy, surgery as necessary and itshould be individualized. Moreover, social, psychological and psychopathological variables are clear determinants in the development and treatment of obesity. Th e yoga-based lifestyle intervention program included yoga postures (asana), breathing exercises (pranayama) and lifestyle interventions. It has a benefi cial impact on leptin that plays a key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure and alsoreduces the risk for cardiovascular events. Reducing obesity-related complications and changing dysfunctional behaviors should be typically carried out in a multidisciplinary context. Th e combination of mind body therapy, diet and exercise plans leads to better weight loss outcomes. To conclude, Yoga therapy can improve psycho-social-physiological wellbeing in obese population if practiced regularly along with other lifestyle modifi cations and drugs. Th erefore, traditional breathing and relaxation techniques can be prescribed along with conventional therapy to restore homeostatic set point in obese individual

Abstract:
Weight loss and fi tness are two major concerns for the world irrespective of continent, class and age. Weight-loss in the context of medicine, health or physical fi tness refers to a reduction of the total body mass due to a mean loss of fl uid, body fat or adipose tissue and or lean mass. Weight-loss can either occur unintentionally due to an underlying disease or arise from a conscious eff ort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state. Overweight and obesity are the leading risks for global deaths. Around 3.4 million adults die each year as a result of being overweight or obese. In addition, 44% of the diabetes burden, 23% of the ischemic heart disease burden and between 7% and 41% of certain cancer burdens are attributable to overweight and obesity. More than 1.4 billion adults, 20 and older were overweight. Of these overweight adults, over 200 million men and nearly 300 million women were obese. Overall, more than 10% of the world’s adult population was obese. In 2012, more than 40 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese. Once considered a high-income country problem, overweight and obesity are now on the rise in low and middle income countries particularly in urban settings. In developing countries with emerging economies (classifi ed by the World Bank as lower and middle income countries) the rate of increase of childhood overweight and obesity has been more than 30% higher than that of developed countries. Overweight and obesity are linked to more deaths worldwide than underweight. For example, 65% of the world’s population live in countries where overweight and obesity kill more people than underweight (this includes all high income and most middle income countries). Obesity aff ects our families, schools and businesses, and it threatens our economy. Obesity is a health concern, a social dilemma, a personal challenge, an economic burden and a policy issue. Th e obesity crisis harms some segments of society more than others but this problem crosses all lines of ethnicity, race, socioeconomic class, gender, age and ability. Th e primary concern related to overweight and obesity is the health risks they pose. Th e high rates of overweight and obesity in our state and nation cause decreases in life expectancy, productivity and quality of life. Weight-loss and fi tness play a major role to address the core problem of overweight and obesity

Abstract:
Evolution has taken place in millions of years in which human race started its journey from Stone Age to telecommunication age. Th e means of health, fi tness, wellness and performance of human body has also been revolutionized dramatically i.e. the “homo-sepian†has converted into homo sedentarian. Th e conversation put forward many physical, mental, emotional and social diseases, disorders and syndromes. Obesity; also come out as a multifactorial disorder which latter on become a syndrome. Th e onset of modernization on earth has forced some similar types of prevalence specifi cally talking about the human health concerns. Th e “Globalization†which has destroyed the geo-demographic patterns in human population. Similar types of developments has given similar types of health fi tness & wellness complications.Th e change of nutrition, lifestyle, work culture and activity resulted into obesity. Th e data available online and otherwise has been suggestive of doing changes into consumptions, activities, emotional imbalanced etc. Diff erent communities of the world aspired to achieve an excellent way of urbanization as a welfare of the society, but failed to counter the magnitude of unethical concerns of it. Th e situation has been created that “obesity†has now “globesityâ€. Elimination of natural habitats, major changes of diet patterns globally, reluctant behaviors towards local wisdom and avoidance of physical activity both leisure time and occupational time may also be the factors for obesity. Also the gene expression may produce diff erent body compositions under similar or diff erent environmental conditions and may also react diff erently to the nutritional patterns (nutrigenomics). Awareness regarding body thinness, health, overweight and obesity has been understood in a way that fatty is not good for health but it has been the truth that too thin is too bad. Even though science has made a remarkable steps to preserve human health and longevity but nonsense use of technology has deacceralted human evolution and produce major adverse side eff ects.

Abstract:
Self perceived body image among women is drawing a lot of attention in Korea due to their unhealthy weight control behaviors. To determine the discrepancy ratio between body image perception and actual body shape, the 2010 KNHANES data of 1,747 Korean women were analyzed. Th e ratio of discrepancy between self-perceived body image and actual body shape was 38.5% in total showing 34.2% of oversized and 4.3% of undersized self-perception. Th e percentages of underweight women with self-perception of normal weight or obesity were 20.6%and 0.2%, respectively. Th e younger the underweight women are, the more did they regarded themselves normal or obese(p<0.05). Th e ratio of normal weight women having self-perception of obesity was 29.1% showing higher ratios in 30s and 40s compared to teens and 20s(p<0.01). On the contrary, the proportions of normal weight women having self-perception of underweight were 1.9%, 3.8%, 4.5% and 5.0% in teens, 20s, 30s, and 40s respectively. Inadequate body perception and unhealthy weight control behaviors need to be corrected to prevent nutritional disorders. Tailored nutrition education intervention has to be targeted to these women with incorrect body image perceptions

Abstract:
Childhood obesity is a serious problem as we look to the coming century, every year the numbers of children suff ering from this increase in both number and severity. Th e complications associated with obesity dog these children nearly from birth.My interviews and observations point to a near 100 percent correlation with poor nutrition. A one year old child simply should not be experiencing complications due to obesity brought on by poor nutritional practices.Some of the main culprits are the introduction of highly caloric baby foods and the early weaning of from breast milk so prevalent in western society today. When a child is weaned to early they become irritated, a situation that can easily be confused by a parent as hunger. Th ough a child may be soothed by a bottle oft en they are irritated not hungry this begins a cycle of unnecessary feedings designed to quiet a child that not only creates an unhealthy relationship to stress and food for a child but also causes the child to consume massive amounts of calories and micronutrients that quickly make them obese. When infant formula dosages are exceeded by young parents who are oft en ignorant of both the nutritional content of the food they feed and the required dosage needed for their infants a dangerous cycle is created that teaches stress consumption for entertainment and soothing creating generations of obesity and disease in the future. Th is cycle must be broken to turn the tide in the west. Teaching young parents about nutritional guideline for infants is imperative to stem the tide. Eating must be seen as way to replenish energy which is the vital state that a healthy relationship with food is created.
