INTRODUCTION
WHOs latest projections indicate that globally in 2005: approximately 1.6 billion adults (age 15+) were overweight; at least 400 million adults were obese. WHO further projects that by 2015, approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese. Once considered a problem only in high-income countries, overweight and obesity are now dramatically on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings. Although obesity is the starting scene in India compared to western country, nevertheless it needs to be tackled aggressively before it assumes serious epidemic properties. In India, because of migration and industrialization, urbanization is increasing at significant rate, which is a contributing factor for obesity. Globalization is also playing an important role for modernization and sedentary life. So in near future obesity would emerge as a challenging problem for India. Therefore, attention should be taken in to account for this coming future as PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE

OUR OBJECTIVES
To develop a desire to be healthy

To become aware of the meaning and the concept of health To become familiar with factors and conditions that promote or adversely affect health To acquire relevant knowledge about health, develop positive attitudes and practices necessary to stay healthy Every individual should have the knowledge of balanced diet and he/she must follow the necessary dietary habits. To promote improved prevention and practice healthy behaviour in families and in the community. These long range objectives lead to the ultimate goal of health education, which is to live a personally satisfying and socially useful life.

Obesity and Overweight

Obesity is a condition in which excess body fat may put a person at health risk . Excess body fat results from an imbalance of energy intake and energy expenditure ( total energy expenditure includes energy expended at rest, in physical activity and for metabolism ) .

Presently there is no precise definition of obesity based on the degree of excess body fat that places an individual at increased health risk. General consensus exists for an indirect measure of body fatness called the WEIGHT HEIGHT INDEX or BODY MASS INDEX.

Body Mass Index (B.M.I)

B.M.I is an easily obtained and reliable measurement for overweight and obesity and is defined as a persons weight ( in Kilograms ) divided by the square of the persons height ( in Meters ) In 1997 the International Obesity Task force , convened by the World Health Organisation(WHO),recommended a standard classification of adult overweight and obesity based on the following BMI calculations : Definitions based on Body mass index (BMI) The most commonly used definitions established by the WHO in 1997 and published in 2000 provides the following values : Weight Category BMI (Kg/m^2) Underweight <18.5 Normal 18.5 24.9 Overweight 25.0 29.9 Obesity class l 30.0 34.9 Obesity class ll 35 39.9 Obesity class lll > 40

Other Body Fat Measurements

When obesity is diagnosed the percentage of body fat and muscle is considered. Other than B.M.I , Obesity can be assessed by : a) Skinfold Method. b) Waist Circumference Method and Waist Hip Ratio.

ANALYSIS OF SURVEY

According to our survey 29.25% underweight 50.125% Healthy (normal) 15.125 % Overweight & 5.5% are Obese Result Of Survey Shows An Increasing Prevalance Of Overweight In Children, Adolescents And Adults Which Indicates An Increase Risk Of Obesity Related Co-morbidities . According to our survey, we have analysed that eating habits of children, adolescents and adults of LAHS are irregular and improper and because of this their BMI characterizes them as overweight /obese at high alarming rate.

TREATMENT FOR OBESITY

Dietary therapy

Physical Activity

Pharmacotherapy

Surgery

BALANCED DIET

Do not eat meat more than once a day. Eat fish and poultry more often than red or processed meats because they are less fattening. Avoid frying food. Fried food absorbs the fats from the cooking oils, increasing your dietary fat intake. Instead, bake or broil food. We should Include adequate fiber in our diet. Fiber is found in green leafy vegetables, fruit, beans, bran flakes, nuts, root vegetables, and whole-grain foods. Do not eat more than 4 eggs per week. Although they are a good source of protein, and they're low in saturated fat, eggs are very high in cholesterol.

Choose fresh fruit for dessert, rather than cookies, cake, or pudding.
Eat a well-balanced diet. Too much of anything -- calories or a particular type of food has its drawbacks.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT To successfully manage weight, we can follow these basic guidelines: Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. Balance physical activity with diet to maintain the desired weight. Aerobic exercise will help increase muscle tissue and burn calories. Gradually adjust the eating habits to encourage a permanent lifestyle change. we may need counseling and behavior modification to change the diet. Avoid alcohol, or drink in moderation. A registered dietician is an excellent resource for individualized weight management. The registered dietician can provide information on classes and programs available in our community .

OUR VISION
This project is an attempt to visualize the triumph on this scourge of obesity that has gripped us. Together at LAHS, we have the opportunity to bring a change in the community. We can share ideas, leverage resources, celebrate successes and work together on the challenges of todays time. Every individual has a role to play in the society. Little Angels High School is a microcosm of the society as a whole. Reversion , back to our traditional dietary habits, of natural rather than processed, supplemented with moderate to heavy physical activity is the only answer to this new age epidemic from assuming dangerous proportions. It is time we come together and make the difference.
