ABOUT WEIGHT
NORMAL WEIGHT
Simply Height in cms – 100
For a man 165 cm height = 165 -100 = 65 kg
IDEAL WEIGHT
[ HEIGHT (in meters) x HEIGHT (in meters) ] x 25
[ 1.65 m x 1.65 m ] x 25 = 2.7225 x 25 = 68 kg
EXCESS WEIGHT = [OUR WEIGHT – IDEAL WEIGHT]
75 kg man – 68 kg ideal weight = 7 kg excess
GOAL WEIGHT
Always try to have realistic goals (Ads, Crash diets)
Only 10% of weight reduction in 6 months
For 75 kg man - 10% = 7.5 kg reduction in 6 months
Dr.Sarma@works 16
OVER WEIGHT - OBESITY
EXCESS WEIGHT = [OUR WEIGHT – IDEAL WEIGHT]
75 kg man if 68 kg is ideal weight = 7 kg excess
OVER WEIGHT
If the excess weight is with in 10% of ideal weight
If for a man, the ideal weight is 68 kg (10% = 6.8)
Any weight from 68.1 to 74.8 kg is over weight
OBESITY
If the excess weight is more than 10% of ideal Wt
For him weight more than 74.8 is Obesity
Dr.Sarma@works 17
OBESITY
BODY WEIGHT IS ONE PARAMETER
CENTRAL OBESITY – even if the weight is normal
TUMMY – WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE
Normal for men < 38 inches,
Normal for women < 32 inches
Waist – HIP RATIO
( Waist measurement ÷ Hip measurement ) x 100
Normal for men < 90 %,
Normal for women < 80 %

DIABETES
♥ What is Diabetes ?
A progressive disease in which our body
Does not make enough Insulin and or
We do not respond properly to Insulin - IR
Results in ↑sugar in blood and complications
♥ What is normal blood sugar ?
In fasting state - FBG – Less than 110
After food (2 hrs)- PPBG – Less than 140
♥ Pre DM = FBG >110 or PPBG > 140
♥ Diabetes = FBG > 126 or PPBG of > 200
Dr.Sarma@works 39
MORE ON DIABETES
♥ Genetic factors – Hereditary
♥ Racial factors – Indians are highly prone
♥ Physical inactivity
♥ Bad dietary habits
♥ Over weight and Obesity
1. ↓ pain sensation – painless heart attacks
2. 4 times higher risk for death than normal
3. 3 times higher risk of brain stroke
4. ↓ good cholesterol, ↑bad cholesterol, ↑TG
5. Cause hardening of blood pipes - ↑ BP
Dr.Sarma@works 40
DIABETES TESTING
♥ Can we rely on urine test ? - No
Urine test cannot conclusively decide DM
♥ What blood test is needed
Fasting Blood Sugar – FBG < 110 is N
2 hrs PPBG (after glucose) < 140 is N
♥ Two tests are needed to confirm DM
♥ How often to test ? – If normal - yearly
♥ Does pre Diabetes need treatment – Yes
♥ What are the treatments options ?
Diet, exercise, tablets, Insulin injections
Dr.Sarma@works 41
DIABETES COMPLICATIONS
♥ What is goal blood sugar
FBG < 110, PPBG < 140
Tight control of blood sugar is a must
♥ What if I do not control my Diabetes ?
It leads to variety of complications such as
Heart disease including heart attacks
Kidney disease and failure
Nervous debility in hands and feet
Loss of eye sight, Brain stroke
Frequent infections, TB
Foot ulcers – leading to removal of foot
Dr.Sarma@works 42
DIABETES - ESSENTIALS
♥ Diet restrictions – Keeping sugar normal
♥ Regular physical activity – Keep normal weight
♥ Loose tummy – abdominal fat ↑ diabetes
♥ Medications - if prescribed, not to stop
♥ Tight blood sugar control
♥ Frequent follow up – at least once a month
♥ Home blood glucose monitoring
♥ Keeping BP with in normal range
♥ Periodic eye testing
♥ Extreme care of feet and hands
♥ Prompt treatment of any infections
♥ Stop smoking, alcohol and junk food
Dr.Sarma@works 43
DIABETES - MISCONCEPTIONS
♥ I am young – I will not have Diabetes - No
♥ None in my family has DM – I do not get it - No
♥ My parents are diabetics – I will sure get it - No
♥ I want only tablets, I can not restrict food - No
♥ My legs are painful – I can not exercise – No

BLOOD PRESSURE
♥ In B.P reading there are two numbers
♥ The TOP number is called Systolic B.P
♥ It measures the pressure in the blood pipes
when heart pumps – It is normally 120 mm
♥ The LOWER number is called the Diastolic B.P
♥ It measures the pressure in the blood pipes
when heart rests – It is normally 80 mm
♥ It is written as 120/80, 134/ 86 like that..
♥ Top number should not exceed 140
♥ Lower number should not exceed 90
Dr.Sarma@works 47
BLOOD PRESSURE TESTING
Dr.Sarma@works 48
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
♥ It is called the ‘silent killer’ – No symptoms
♥ 1 out of every 4 adults 40+ suffer from high B.P
♥ In 60+ age group > 90% are having High SBP
♥ Blood pressure changes with emotional or
physical stress – this may be temporary or persistent
♥ If the blood pipes harden due to age, due to
cholesterol deposits, or due to diseases – then
B.P. is persistently elevated beyond 140/90
♥ Diabetes, smoking, certain medications ↑B.P
Dr.Sarma@works 49
BLOOD CIRCULATION
Dr.Sarma@works 50
What If I have High B.P.
♥ Over time High B.P. causes heart to enlarge
♥ Heart’s pumping power becomes less and less
♥ This causes dysfunction and failure of heart pump
♥ Blood vessels harden and get narrowed - leads
to ↓blood flow to organs like heart, kidney -
♥ Results in heart attacks and kidney failure
♥ Blood clots and bleeding from brain blood pipes
leads to paralytic stroke etc.,
♥ If eye blood vessels are affected – loss of vision
♥ Diabetes + High B.P = Fire + Wind - ↑damage

B.P. CONTROL
Dr.Sarma@works 57
How to control my B.P. ?
♥ High B.P. has no cure – but good control is possible
♥ It means lifelong commitment for life style change
♥ Salt restriction and fat restriction is a must
♥ Regular physical activity lowers B.P.
♥ Diabetes control is must for all High B.P. cases
♥ Keeping healthy body weight reduces B.P.
♥ Keeping cholesterol at normal level lessens damage
♥ Early detection and control helps a long way
♥ Because there are no symptoms – motivation is a must
♥ Stop smoking and alcohol - also contraceptive pills
Dr.Sarma@works 58
Common Misconceptions
♥ High BP is usually symptomatic. - No
♥ I have white coat Hypertension. – Better check again
♥ High Cholesterol means high BP. – Not always
♥ ↑ BP is a fact of life. I don’t need to worry. - No
♥ My BP is cured, so I stopped treatment. - Never
♥ I’m a woman. High BP is a man’s problem. - No
♥ I can take any OTC medicines. - No
♥ No BP check is needed until 50 years. - No
♥ If I take B.P. medicines my potency will be ↓- False

Dr.Sarma@works 61
What Is Cholesterol?
♥ Cholesterol is a fat like substance made
primarily in the liver
♥ The body needs cholesterol to work normally
♥ The body makes all the cholesterol it needs
♥ It is present in excess in saturated fats like
ghee, dalda, palm oil, coconut oil, coconut
kernel, fat rich milk and ice creams, egg yolk
(yellow), meat, chocolates, cashew nuts etc.,
♥ Fruits and vegetables contain none of it
♥ TG is excess sugar converted into fat by body
Dr.Sarma@works 62
Why is Cholesterol important ?
♥ Too much cholesterol in the blood increases
the risk of fatty deposits in blood vessels
♥ Blood clots can form on these deposits and
block the blood flow causing heart attack or
stroke
♥ Thus high blood cholesterol raises our risk
of heart attack and stroke
Dr.Sarma@works 63
“Good” and “Bad” Cholesterol
♥ HDL cholesterol is the “good” kind
♥ High HDL lowers our heart disease & stroke
♥ LDL cholesterol is the “bad” kind
♥ LDL cholesterol is deposited in blood pipes
♥ High LDL raises our heart disease & stroke
♥ Another fat called Triglyceride (TG) is also
“bad” fat – it also ↑Heart disease & Stroke
Dr.Sarma@works 64
Cholesterol Numbers
Normal Values for blood fats (lipids)
1. Total Cholesterol (TC) 200mg/dl
2. Triglycerides (TG) 150 mg/dl
3. Low density cholesterol (LDL) 100 mg/dl
4. High density cholesterol (HDL) 50 mg/dl
5. TC ÷ HDL ratio = 200 ÷ 50 = 4
LIPID PROFILE TEST is to be done after 10 hr fast
Dr.Sarma@works 65
CHOLESTEROL CONTROL
♥ Test your blood cholesterol (s) values
♥ Know your Cholesterol and TG goal
♥ Discuss with your Doc – How to reduce
♥ Enroll in Low Cholesterol program
♥ Eat right to lower cholesterol
♥ Marriages and parties – be careful
♥ Junk food is dangerous
♥ Low fat cooking books
♥ Do not let a slip – If fallen arise
♥ Say ‘Yes for Me’ and reward yourself

Dr.Sarma@works 69
All of us need to be Alert
♥ Heart attack kills 10,000,000 persons a year –
about 10 deaths every minute
♥ Indian population has high rates of high blood
pressure, Diabetes, high cholesterol, high TG
overweight /obesity and sedentary life style
♥ Heart attack is the number one killer for adults
♥ It may strike very silently without any warning
♥ In the past 20 years heart attacks have become
4 times more common – 2 in 4 die, 1 immediately.
♥ Once it strikes the treatment is costly and not
that effective in reducing death rates
♥ Prevention is the best approach

Simply Speaking
1. Our habits are too bad – Need drastic change
2. Turn to vegetarian, fiber rich foods, fruits, milk
3. There are three poisons in our homes
• They are S.O.S – Sugar, Oil and Salt –
• the less we consume them the safer is our ♥
4. Drive the devils out – Smoking and Alcohol
5. Determine to move our feet, limbs and bend –
• lest our heart stops moving very soon
6. Only two options – heed to this or else we perish
