Nearly 29% of Indian adults are now classified as obese. That number wasn't anywhere close to this a generation ago — so what changed? The short answer is everything. Work became more desk-bound, kitchens got replaced by Swiggy orders, and screens quietly ate up the hours we once spent moving. Traditional diets full of fiber and whole grains gave way to packaged snacks, sugary drinks, and fast food that's everywhere now — not just in cities but deep into rural areas too.

What's more concerning is how fast this is hitting younger age groups. Childhood obesity in India has risen over 30 times in the last few decades.

Beyond blood sugar, people also saw improvements in cholesterol and blood pressure. So it's not just about the number on the scale. That said, it's not a free-for-all. If you're on insulin or diabetes medication, fasting without medical superv...
