Health statistics from the 2019-20 National Family Health Survey (NFHS 5) show concerning trends in Kerala. A significant portion of adults aged 15-49 suffer from obesity, with 38.1% of women and 36.4% of men affected, and 70.7% of women and 56.8% of men showing abdominal obesity. High blood pressure affects 15.5% of women and 19.2% of men, and the rates of diabetes requiring medication are 27% among men and 24.8% among women, well above the national average.
Prediabetes is predicted to rise sharply to 36.7% in Kerala, according to a 2023 ICMR-INDIAB study. The solution lies in a preventive health approach, focusing on a low-carb diet rich in non-tuber, low-calorie vegetables and regular exercise. Fish, as a natural source of Omega-3 fatty acids, plays a vital role in preventing heart and brain diseases.
