What Should Be Our Ideal Weight


by Drs. Indrajeet Tyagi and Iranna Hirapur
An ideal weight is the one with which a person feels the most comfortable. Changes in total body weight vary for men and women. Men often gain weight until about age 55, and then begin to lose weight later in life due to a drop in the male sex hormone testosterone. Women usually gain weight until age 65, and then begin to lose weight.

The Satyanarayana Puja is a religious worship of Lord Vishnu, the protector the world. The puja is described in the Skanda Purana, a medieval era Sanskrit text.
