Item Comparative study on the intervention of ‘Spice’ Mixture (SM) prepared by Natural Food Additives (NFA) alone or intervention of SM with mind calming exercise in the management on female obesity(Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge, 2020) Manuha, M.I.,; Paranagama, P.; Nageeb, B M.; Iqbal, N.Z.Obesity has become huge health problem in the entire world. In Sri Lanka, the prevalence of obesity is estimated to be 20.3% in men and 36.5% in women in four provinces. Further, the highest prevalence rate in Western Province, especially in Colombo was estimated to be 32.2%, among adults. Obesity is associated with osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, gall stones, and hiatus hernia. In addition to this obesity is related to numerous other problems, such as menstrual and mental disorders and varicose vein etc. According to the concept of Unani four treatment modalities are there; they are known as Dieto therapy (Ilaj Bil Ghiza), Pharmaco therapy (Ilaj Bil Dawa), Regimental therapy (Ilaj Bit Tadbeer) and Surgery (Ilaj Bil Yad). Biomarkers such as Lipid profile (VLDL, LDL, HDL And Serum triglycerides), Haemoglobin percentage, SGPT and SC (Serum Creatinine) were considered. Blood sample analysis was performed at NATH (National Ayurvedic Teaching Hospital), Borella, National Diabetic Centre, Rajagiriya and Asiri Hospitals Ltd. According to Unani or Greco-Arabic medical concept, improper digestion may play a main role to cause obesity. Improper digestion was corrected by using a ‘spice’ mixture made by Natural Food Additives (NFA), which possesses the actions of carminative, digestive and strengthens the gastro-intestinal tract. The preparation of ‘spice’ mixture included Natural Food Additives (NFA). They are Cumin (Cuminum cyminum), Garlic (Allium sativum), Curry Leaves (Murraya koenigii), Ceylon Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) and Black Pepper (Piper nigram). Studies revealed that waist circumferences (WC) is closely linked to CV disease risk factors. Also, WHO Expert Committee on Obesity in Asian and Pacific populations suggested that revised cutoff points for WC: 90 cm for men and 80 cm for women to identify patients with abdominal obesity. South Asians are more prone to insulin resistance and dyslipidaemic state of abdominal obesity. Study concluded that the intervention of ‘spice’ mixture reduces obesity and the effective mind calm exercises would give more beneficial effect in weight reduction.Item A study on selected biometrics and cetral obesity indices among overweight and obese adult women(University of Kelaniya, 2014) Manuha, M.I.; Iqbal, N.Z.; Nageeb, B.M.; Paranagama, P.A.Item Haemoglobin level among overweight and obese adult women(National Centre for Advanced Studies, 2014) Manuha, M.I.; Iqbal, N.Z.; Nageeb, B.M.; Paranagama, P.A.Item Determination of Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) in lime and lemon(Institute of Indigenous Medicine, University of Colombo, 2014) Manuha, M.I.; Iqbal, N.Z.; Nageeb, B.M.; Paranagama, P.A.Item Human Red Blood cell (HRBC) membrane stabilization as a mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of aqueous and methanol extract of a compound preparation which used to reduce weight on obese patients(Institute of Indigenous Medicine, University of Colombo, 2014) Manuha, M.I.; Iqbal, N.Z.; Nageeb, B.M.; Paranagama, P.A.Item Prevalence of obesity related health risk conditions among overweight and obesity adult women(1st International Conference on Unani, Ayurveda, Siddha and Traditional Medicine, On Natural Solutions for Health Challenges, 2013) Manuha, M.I.; Iqbal, N.Z.; Nageeb, B.M.; Paranagama, P.A.Item A Comparative Preliminary Study on the Prevalence of Overweight-Obese with Socio-Economic Status (SES) Among the Adult Females(1st International Conference on Unani, Ayurveda, Siddha and Traditional Medicine, On Natural Solutions for Health Challenges, 2013) Manuha, M.I.; Iqbal, N.Z.; Nageeb, B.M.; Paranagama, P.A.This study was to determine how the SES influenced on overweight and obesity in adult women. The analysis was done by ISBM SPSS. BMIwas categorized according to WHO criteria such as normal weight: 18.5-24.9 kg/m2; overweight: 25.0- 29.9 kg/m2; or obese > 30.0 kg/m2. Obese further categorized to obese-I (30-34.9 kg/m2), obese-II (35-39.9 kg/m2) and morbid obese ( > 40 kg/m2). 206 participants were participated. In this study 32.5% were overweight and 67.5% were obese. Out of this 67% of obese 43.2% were belong to obese I, 17.5% were belong to obese II and 6.8% were in the morbidly obese. 43.3%, 40.3% of overweight were found in the age group 31-40 and 41-60 respectively. Similarly 35.7%, 47.4% of obese were found in the similar age groups. 53.7% was overweight and 68.3% was obese found in the participants who completed or below level of primary education. Further in the participants who completed the secondary education or above, the percentage of overweight (31.4%) was found lesser amount than obesity (46.3%). Family income concerned both 33.3% overweight and 37.4% obese were found in less income family (LKR < 25000). 29.8% overweight and 31.7% obese were found in the families who received the income between LKR 25000 - 50000. Inthis study 71.8%, 22.3 %, 5.8% were house wives, employees and students respectively. Overweight/obese found more in the age groups between 31-60. Overweight/obese found higher percentage in poor educated group. This study indicates that with the increasing of the age the overweight condition is transforming into obese condition.
