What Is the Meaning of Obese in Kannada? - #11754
I recently came across the term obese, and I understand that it refers to a condition where a person has excessive body fat that may impact their health. However, I couldn’t find the exact meaning of obese in Kannada. I want to know—what is the correct Kannada word for "obese"? From what I have read, obesity is different from being overweight because it is more severe and can lead to health issues like diabetes, heart disease, and joint pain. In Kannada-speaking regions, do people use the English word "obese," or is there a proper Kannada term for it? I also want to understand how Ayurveda and Siddha medicine describe obesity. In Ayurveda, obesity is linked to an imbalance of Kapha dosha, but what is the traditional Kannada term for it? Also, are there any specific Kannada home remedies or Ayurvedic treatments that help in managing obesity naturally? Another thing I’d like to know is—what is the general perception of obesity in Karnataka? Are there any traditional Kannada diets that help in maintaining a healthy weight? I have heard that millets like Ragi (finger millet) and Jowar (sorghum) are widely used in Karnataka for weight management. Are these actually effective? If anyone knows the meaning of obese in Kannada and how obesity is discussed in Kannada medical literature, please share your knowledge. Also, if you have any experience with natural weight management methods followed in Karnataka, I’d love to hear about them!
