Headline: Punjab’s Silent Killer: Obesity Epidemic Runs Rampant

Punjab, July 12, 2025: The alarming rise of lifestyle diseases in Punjab is unfolding silently, impacting millions. Many residents routinely skip breakfast, leading to fluctuating blood sugar levels and long-term health risks.

This isn’t just a slow creep; obesity is rapidly becoming a major health crisis across the state. The consequences are severe, placing a heavy burden on healthcare infrastructure and impacting the state’s overall productivity.

Experts warn of a looming public health emergency unless immediate action is taken. Addressing this requires a multi-pronged approach, including awareness campaigns promoting healthy diets and regular exercise.

The state government needs to invest in preventative healthcare initiatives, targeting vulnerable populations and improving access to affordable healthcare services. Failure to act decisively now will have far-reaching and devastating consequences for Punjab’s future.
