SIZE ZERO: IS IT FOR
GUD?????
India has always been a so diverse country in many
aspect medical illness is no diffrerrent. Take obesity which occurs due to excess intake
of food than what is required to death due to malnurishment due to lack of food
to sustain life all in same geographical region. One thing which shows flaws of
democracy over communism.
Ayesha
Siddiqui, the young Hyderabadi woman who created a fuss about being married to
and dumped by Shoaib Malik, says it was all about being overweight. There are
other Ayeshas around. Many girls go to fitness centre wanting to lose weight
quickly to please their husbands or fiancees or boyfriends. Some narrate
stories about how their relationships failed because they were overweight.
A decade ago, a fair complexion was the parameter to
measure a girl’s beauty and eligibility as a bride in india. Today, it’s a slim figure.
The phenomenon is depressing for many girls who find refuge in weight loss
clinics, fat-free food and fad diets and are ready to shell out thousands of
rupees to their personal fitness trainers for every kilogram they shed with
their help.
I know personally people who have
turned down the matrimonial match only because the prospective groom or bride
is overweight or obese. So nowadays it has become very serious issue in India,
where arranged marriage is still the norm.
Now the question is apart from looks
does the obesity issue have any medical consequences related to marriage????
Answer
is big YES!!!!!!!!!
The males with obesity are concerned:
1.
Obesity can hamper sexual activity by decreasing serum
testosterone levels.
2.
Obesity can hamper sexual activity by mere
physical problems (readers are free to imagine)
3.
Obesity leads to production of female
hormone estrogen in males
4.
Obesity decreases libido (it decreases
sex interest)
For obese females:
1. It
decreases libido
2. It
decreases ovulation/ fertility
3. It
is frequently associated with PCOD (polycystic ovarian syndrome)
4. It
increases male hormone testosterone in females
5. It
is responsible for disfiguring male type hair growth over face and other parts
of the body
Here I am not mentioning the other ill outcomes of
obesity like heart attack, diabetes mellitus, stroke etc…..
So to conclude obesity can hamper marriage prospects
and purpose of marriage beyond the mere looks……..so it’s the responsibility of
the present society to encourage outdoor physical activities and advice
regarding healthy diets, for both present and generation to come in future…..
