Obesity & Hidden Inflammation: The Link You Didn't Know

 By Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara

Most people think of obesity as just “extra weight.” But scientifically, it’s far more complex. Excess body fat doesn’t just sit there — it’s biologically active and can trigger chronic inflammation inside your body.

What is Inflammation in Obesity?

Fat cells (especially belly fat) release inflammatory chemicals called cytokines.
 These don’t cause pain like a sore throat or swollen ankle — instead, they cause “silent inflammation.”

Over time, this silent fire can:

  • Disrupt insulin → leading to diabetes
  • Affect blood vessels → raising heart disease risk
  • Interfere with hormones → worsening PCOS, thyroid issues, and infertility
  • Even affect your brain → leading to mood disorders

Signs Your Weight is Causing Inflammation

  • Constant fatigue despite rest
  • Brain fog or low concentration
  • Unexplained joint pains
  • Frequent sugar cravings
  • Stubborn belly fat that won’t budge

Fighting Obesity-Driven Inflammation

The good news? Lifestyle changes can calm this hidden fire.

  • Anti-inflammatory foods: leafy greens, turmeric, nuts, fish, and colorful fruits.
  • Regular movement: even 30 minutes of walking lowers inflammatory markers.
  • Better sleep: poor sleep worsens both weight and inflammation.
  • Stress management: meditation, yoga, or breathing practices keep cortisol in check.

Obesity isn’t just about looks or BMI — it’s about how your body is silently struggling inside. Tackling inflammation is the first step to reversing weight-related health risks.

🧠💥 Take Charge of Your Metabolic Health - Why Exercise is Your Secret Weapon!

  by Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara In today’s fast-paced world, where sedentary lifestyles, stress, and poor eating habits have led to a rise in obesity, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes, taking charge of your metabolic health is more important than ever. But where should you start? Let’s begin with a common question:   Does exercise really help with weight loss?  Absolutely. Whether it’s a 20-minute swim, a brisk 30-minute walk, or a session on the treadmill, you could burn around 250–350 calories. But here’s a fun fact — your body naturally burns 1300–1800 calories a day just by keeping you alive. This is called your resting metabolic rate.

Now, you might ask, “Is diet more important than exercise?”  At Kayakalpa, we take a root-cause approach to chronic disease and emphasize that exercise is just...
