Doctors claim that obesity can cause cancer.

BENGALURU / February 2, 2023: Obesity can lead to the development of 13 different types of cancer. People with obesity or severe obesity are 1.5 to 4 times at risk of developing cancers like Oesophagus, Stomach, Liver, Pancreas, Colorectal, Gallbladder, Kidney, and Thyroid. This was said by Dr. Tausif Ahmed Thangalvadi, Medical Director at NURA, a collaboration between Fujifilm Healthcare and Dr Kutty’s Healthcare offering AI-enabled imaging in Bengaluru, highlighting key findings from a Working Group document of International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).

“Research has shown that obese women also face the impact of reproductive organ cancers like Endometrial (4-7 times the risk compared to non-obese women), breast cancer (1.5 times) and ovarian cancer (1.1 times). Breast cancer and colorectal cancer are the most common obesity related cancers in women and men, respectively, with 30% higher risk compared to non-obese people. A 2019 global study found that obesity related cancers accounted for nearly 4% of the global burden of cancers,” Dr. Tausif Ahmed Thangalvadi said.

The correlation between obesity and cancer is worrying, considering that India is suffering from an obesity epidemic, with nearly 7 crore people affected with morbid obesity. As per an ICMR-INDIAB study published in 2015, the prevalence rate of obesity in India ranges from 12 to 30% and of central obesity from 16 to 36%. As per UNICEF’s World Obesity Atlas 2022, India is predicted to have 2.7 crore children with obesity by 2030.

Said Dr. Tausif Ahmed Thangalvadi: “There are many ways in which obesity can increase the risk of cancer. Fat tissue in the human body releases excess levels of oestrogen, which in women leads to an increased risk of Breast, Endometrial and Ovarian cancer. High levels of Insulin and Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) in obese people increases risk of colorectal, kidney and prostate cancer. Obesity also leads to chronic inflammation and oxidative stress on tissues, further increasing the risk of cancers.”

“Over the last two years, we at NURA have screened more than 6,000 healthy asymptomatic people. Nearly 70% of them had visceral fat levels above the accepted threshold of 100 cm, with nearly half found to have severe obesity with visceral fat levels above 160 cm. Men were twice as likely to have excess visceral fat compared to women,” he added. 

The doctor suggested many preventive measures for obesity-related cancers. “The first step is to reduce weight. In a 2019 study published in the JNCI cancer spectrum journal, it was noticed that people who lost 5% of their body weight had a much lesser risk of obesity-related cancer, especially endometrial cancer. The same was found true for breast cancer in a 2020 study. Yet another study in 2019 found that people who underwent bariatric surgery for morbid obesity were found to have a reduced risk of breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers. Following a healthy diet plan, regular exercise, and screening regularly for obesity and cancer can further help reduce risk of obesity and cancers,” said Dr. Tausif Ahmed Thangalvadi.

NURA offers multiple screening tests not only for cancers but also for obesity. For cancers, NURA uses a combination of ultra-low dose CT scans, tumour markers and procedures like mammography, colposcopy, and FIT kit to detect many types of cancers early, including Lung, Colorectal, Oral, Prostate, Liver, Kidney, Pancreas, Breast, Cervix and Ovarian cancers.

For obesity, NURA uses ultra-low dose CT scan to accurately measure visceral fat. It also uses the DEXA scan to give fat-muscle ratio and distribution, giving people key information to focus on their exercise and fat reduction plans.

KENYA SHOWCASES DESTINATION ATTRACTIONS TO ATTRACT INDIAN OUTBOUND MARKET

Bangalore, 31st Jan. 2023: Destination Kenya is all set to attract Indian Outbound Tourism with a slew of initiatives planned for the upcoming season. 

Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) is coming to Ahmedabad on 30th Jan, Bangalore on 31st Jan & New Delhi on 6th Feb with B2B Trade Networking Roadshows. KTB is also participating at OTM Mumbai during 2nd, 3rd & 4th February to interact with Indian travel trade fraternity & media.

There will be a high-level delegation from KTB along with leading DMC’s, Hoteliers, Tour Operators & Service Providers from the Kenya Travel Industry, along with Kenya Airways, to make presentations and explore exciting opportunities to collaborate, tapping the high potential India market.

In 2022, the arrivals into Kenya from the Indian source market recorded a growth of 93.2% from 42,159 in 2021 to 81,458 in 2022. This is a recovery of 67% compared to the 2019 performance of 120,893. 

KTB is also planning to sign new business deals in the Indian market as Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) leads travel trade members to this year’s Outbound Travel Mart (OTM) tourism fair in the country. 

Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) acting CEO John Chirchir says OTM is giving Kenya an opportunity for re-entry into the Indian market that was severely affected with travel because of Covid-19 pandemic. “India is one of the markets whose travel were negatively impacted with the Covid-19, we are now making a physical presence in the market after about 2 years of absence, and we hope to reap big from the fair,” says Chirchir.

Chirchir says the growth is a positive indication that the tourism business in India is on the right track to recovery even as KTB rolls out key promotional and marketing campaigns in the market. “These are part of our many initiatives to bring the market back to its performance recorded before the covid-19 pandemic. Attributes such as ease of access and connectivity, all-weather season as well as tourism offering that cut across all the segments have continued to pull Indian travelers to Kenya,” said the CEO .

Last year, KTB hosted a familiarization trip in Nairobi for India’s leading travel companies, launched joint promotional campaigns with marketing companies such as FCM Travel Solutions India and Yatra to build traveler confidence. 

Kenya is home to intimate, awe-inspiring, and magical travel experiences. All year round, visitors enjoy exhilarating wildlife experiences, the breathtaking outdoors and landscapes, the tranquil and adventure of Kenya’s coast, the enriching cultural encounters, and the warmth of the Kenyan people.

Karibu Kenya, Welcome to #MagicalKenya #TheRealDeal

Grand Master M.H Abid invited, to his center for Physical Fitness and Self Defense education in Basavanagudi, Gandhi Bazar

Grand Master M.H Abid invited, to his center for Physical Fitness and Self Defense education
in Basavanagudi, Gandhi Bazar, invited prominent printed media agencies for a press release. Following his practice of inclusiveness and comprehensiveness of all sectors of society in his message, Grand Master conducted an open press meet to highlight the paramount role the press plays in the betterment of society. This press meet is the third within the last week of January, following the inauguration of Combat Warriors” center that offers comprehensive and holistic lessons for both physical and mental fitness. Within one festive week Grand Master Abid managed to gather under his center’s roof influential personalities of India to shed light on his vision of a healthier and a more secure society.

Starting off the ceremony with his welcome speech, Grand Master Abid mended the definition of self defense and fitness, an image that has long been exploited on a financial and moral scale Self Defense as a sentence has been thrown around and almost devalued by posers and opportunists who had taken advantage of the trendiness of self preservation and the global movement towards a healthier body and mind. In the event of a major surgery, would you trust your body to go under the knife of a self proclaimed surgeon who has read a reference or two?

How can you entrust your bodily reflexes otherwise to a self proclaimed self defense teacher

who would showcase a screaming routine they picked up on their youtube timepass?

Grand Master Abid inaugurated this center in Basavanagudi to set the standards for Self Defense through the “Bichwa’ system, a traditional Indian Unarmed Combat Art passed down for the 5th generation in his family. Bichwa self defense system is a holistic course that prepares both body and mind, elevates awareness builds self confidence in order to sharpen the instincts in the case of a regular day pressure of the unfortunate event of an accident. This helps the body to balance its negativity and divert it into its preservation and will be discouraged to abuse any substance as an escape mechanism,

The empowerment offered by such courses is that it can be used by women and girls for self protection against imminent dangers of unexpected situation like a hold-up, Road rage, Molestation. Personal violence and Torture perpetrated on them by known or unknown persons. Self defense isn’t a jab or a kick, it is rather the sharpening and awaking of instincts suppressed by the fast changing lifestyle and practices, Fitness goes beyond the walls of a training center to envelop our mental health, our diet, including the way we face any stressful situation.

Additionally, one of Grand Master MH Abid’s students, Priyanka BS, is a trained instructor in and is the co-founder and the Managing Director of Combat Warriors and TuitionPlus. She has dedicated her career for the welfare and betterment of women and children along with being a dedicated educator and administrator.

This center in Gandhi Bazar is offering well paced curriculums for all age groups and backgrounds following the holistic creed of enabling every individual with a steadfast stanice. A subsidized instructor course will be offered By Grand Master Abid and Coach Priyanka BS to locals and more specifically Homemakers to fit them with the flexibility of earning money by teaching Bichwa self defense and fitness. Aspiring actresses and Actors will find many opportunities to enhance their action scenes and body language, and perhaps bump into Sandalwood and Bollywood icons that frequent the training center. Many of Grand Master Abid’s disciples have extended to become Bollywood actors and Action Directors, Celebrity figures and Industrialists and Philanthropists of repute. The Gandhi Bazar, Basavanagudi center also offers “office fitness” courses tailored for people leading a busy full day duty, enabling them to preserve their health and be able to celebrate the fruits of their hard work with their loved ones. The training uses no equipment to further flexibility of the students who join this regimen of focused training which will ease their path in life.

Actor Mir Sarwar who started his training with Grand Master 20 years ago has won 2 gold medals that time, and our hearts recently through his exceptional performance in movies like “Kesari” and “Mission Majnu that trended No. 1 on OTT. Mir Sarwar exalted the training with an icon like Grand Master Abid, and how it promoted his career from modeling into theater and then blockbuster movies, urging young and well placed artists, equally, to join the hero making center

Sandalwood Actress Alisha who has been featured in more than 150 productions so far emphasized the importance of Bichwa self defense, being a state of mind one puts themselves around to protect oneself. She advised females to join the classes and specially invited home makers to join the subsidized self defense certification which can enable them to earn a living by giving tuition to both children and adults.

Mr Radha Krishna Holla, a retired district judge of great reverence, shed light on the rights of every individual of self defense based on the section 106 of the Indian Penal code which exempts a few offenses on the basis of deterring direct harm away from oneself in the spur of the moment. Judge Holla otherwise directed people to seek justice through police and the umbrella of the constitution. Going back through his memories, he shared how he got to meet Grand Master Abid first when he enrolled both his girls in Bichwa self defense classes noting that though he got the personal protection of the police his girls were facing life away from him and were exposed to many incidents that could get in their way. Every day in the news are, sadly, articles about violence and attacks, and judge Holla disclosed a few heartbreaking cases that appeared in his court and he encouraged women to join self defense to stand up for themselves.

Mr RajaSimha, a distinguished scientist with many astonishing patents in his portfolio addressed the invitees to highlight how one should be well fit and strong to avert aggressions and thereby demotivating perpetrators. Mr Rajsima summoned some memories with Grand Master Abid during their trip to Thailand where Grand Master Abid proudly raised the Indian flag and placed our nation on the world map of fitness and self defense. With cases of chain and purse snatching happening in many corners, a victim should be able to turn the table on the aggressor and give back. Self defense goes further and beyond averting an incident, it helps establish self awareness and confidence in order to build a great nation

Last but not the least, in a city as congested with traffic snarls as Bengaluru, we tend to forget the enormous efforts the quick response teams sacrifice to reach in time and resuscitate anyone in a dangerous position. Since those split seconds can really make the difference between life and death, every individual should learn basic first aid and CPR techniques. Combat Warriors center in Basavanagudi is offering Courses and Certifications under Professional coaching Organisations to make our precious Garden City a healthier, more Caring and a safer place for the citizens of this community in particular and the great nation at large.
