Abstract

The Body weight is body mass which is usually used to measure a person’s nutritional status. Each person’s ideal body weight varies according to race, ethnicity, gender, age, and socioeconomic status. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2014 more than 1.9 billion adults aged more than 18 years were overweight. This number is more than 600 million who are obese. Currently, there are many efforts being made to overcome the problem of obesity. The problem of obesity can also be overcome by administering herbs using a variety of herbal plants. It is found that Moringa leaves have anti-obesity properties because they can increase insulin sensitivity and reduce lipid absorption.
