Obesity is an abnormal condition of excessive body fat accumulation induced by excess calorie intake, usually 20% or

more over an individual's ideal body weight.

Obesity-I 30.0 – 34.9

Obesity-II 35.0 – 39.9

Extreme Obesity ≥ 40.0

Women have to stock energy in the form of fat in anticipation of future pregnancies.

In hot countries, the fat is localized on some specific areas, like hips, around the navel, etc.

In cold countries, the distribution of fat is more uniform, which provides for better protection during rigorous winters.

Aloe Vera Juice Benefits For Weight Loss

Aloe Vera can stimulate the metabolic rate of the body. As a result of this, the food that is eaten is converted into energy at a faster rate. This prevents conversion of energy to fat. This helps to lose weight faster due to the reduction of excess fat from the body.

Aloe Vera is very rich in proteins and collagen. So the body has to spend more energy for the digestion of high collagen content. This extra loss of energy helps in burning more calories.

Aloe Vera also reduces the duration of time for which the food stays in the intestine.

It also helps in cleansing the colon.
