The Why Axis Ep1: Why diabetes is on the rise in India

India could be heading towards a serious health crisis due to the rising prevalence of diabetes and its comorbidities, especially in rural parts of the country.
The first ever pan-India Non-communicable diseases (NCD) study has confirmed that at least 101.3 million people in the country are directly affected by type 2 diabetes. Another 136 million people are estimated to be suffering from prediabetes.
The findings of the Indian Council of Medical Research-India Diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB) study have confirmed that unless addressed on an urgent basis, diabetes and its comorbidities would create a major health and economic burden on the nation. The total number of people with diabetes in India was estimated to be around 77 million in a previous survey conducted in 2019. However, these latest findings published in Lancet on June 7, 2023, show that the number has soared by over 30 per cent, breaching the 100 million (10 crores) mark. The study was conducted in a phased manner from 2008 to 2020 by the ICMR and Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF), covering the entire country.
The study also confirms that prediabetes is emerging as a concern in rural India. Despite having a low prevalence of diabetes, states like UP and Rajasthan have recorded higher rates of prediabetes prevalence of 18 and 16.1 per cent respectively, which could lead to a diabetes surge in the near future.

Excellent video. Looking at the numbers presented in this video, it looks like we are already in a health crisis!

[@HappiestHealth]

Thank you for watching and your feedback.

[@smithycochin]

Dr. Mohan's comments related to polished rice is also very important.

[@HappiestHealth]

Thank you for watching.

[@edendvatri]

I'll give you the answer right now you don't need to wonder why anymore. Look into every part of India that's westernized and by that i mean TV, Processed food, and westernized fast food. Basically everything from food to entertainment to activities that is westernized or Indian foods cooked with processed ingredients instead of the naturally organic as they originally were. This is it. The more westernized the village, town or city anywhere in India the faster the people will get sick

[@msdadsfsx]

Then why Western countries have much lower diabetes rate

[@user-kn6qx9wj9b]

White rice, White sugar and processed foods are to be blamed. Don't always point out the west instead of self analysing. Our ancestors ate red rice and black rice which had low glycemic index. We are eating polished White rice which has a high glycemic index. Also there was no White sugar in the past. We should stop eating them and switch to red rice or black rice

[@sharinaross1865]

I want to try red rice and black rice.

[@MandeepSingh-bv2zw]

​@@msdadsfsxbecause what comes to us from outside is mostly in the form of fast food - burgers, pizzas, chowmein noodles etc etc. Italian, Chinese, Mexican or any other cuisine for tgat matter can be very healthy if we eat right. But how many of us Indians know anything abt foreign foods beyond Burgers, fries, chowmein, pizzas, pasta ?

[@quantumpolariton122]

Obesity causes diabetes. It doesn’t matter from which type of food the calories come from.

[@dipendupaul]

If brown rice is good for health, why businesses still making polished rice? Shouldn't there be guidelines from government controlling these businesses? And why should the brown rice be costlier? I really feel there something wrong somewhere.

[@kumaravyasaful]

Very informative and equally well presented. Thank you.

[@nadinejoyce1203]

A nation deprived of our species appropriate diet, Carnivore.
Pasture raised eggs, tallow, raw butter, grass fed ruminants....

[@wholefoodplantbasedmama5398]

What nonsense. Please go and study some nutrition. You have been duped into a scam whereby you have been told to eat a diet that scientifically has been proven to have a much earlier mortality than the Mediterranean and unprocessed plant-based diets.
The animal agriculture industry is behind the misinformation and social influencers are paid either by the an/ag or they get you with supplements.
Don’t be a sheeple!

How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution
1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped
We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less.
We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc.
Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only.
If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced.
If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in natural colour.
2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form
We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops.
But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads.
So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world.
Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home.
Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems.
If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own.
Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world.
Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.
Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future.
3. Electricity Pollution
We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur.
As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated.
4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk
Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped.
For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime.
5. How Much Should Be The World's Population
Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.

[@ruchirshrikhande5584]

High carbs low protein diet is the sole reason for the rising diabetes in India. It's the low fibre and low amount of protein that leads to such an insane spike in blood sugar and eventual diabetes. Then comes all the ultra processed shit that has increased in the recent past

[@wholefoodplantbasedmama5398]

Nope! Only right on the processed food. High carb has been India’s basic diet.

[@ruchirshrikhande5584]

​@@wholefoodplantbasedmama5398 And this high carb diet is exactly why India ranks 2nd on diabetes, majority of the Indian population have skinny fat physique and a protruding belly, people in their late 40s and 50s suffer from high bp,cholestrol,insulin resistance.

[@miraabubakar9405]

Good for india .

[@vijaysastry4235]

Diabetes has always been there, but now it is more due to more availability of food & sweet shops set up by Banias on every corner in India.

[@anigofirst]

👍

[@user-qb1rx4rh6s]

You are that is a high blood sugar

[@hokeywolf3416]
