Anant Ambani’s Health Challenges

Here’s a look at Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son, Anant Ambani’s health journey that has been in the news recently. His notable weight gain has reportedly been attributed to the steroids used to manage his asthma. In this article, we take a look at how this steroid causes weight gain, and what are the other side effects of taking these asthma-controlling drugs.

Anant Ambani’s Struggle With Obesity

In an interview, Anant Ambani’s mother Nita Ambani revealed that he is suffering from chronic asthma, which can only be managed with high usage of steroids. “Anant was highly asthmatic so we had to put him on a lot of steroids. He suffers from obesity. Hence, the asthma treatment resulted in a lot of weight gain,” Nita Ambani said.

How do asthma-controlling steroids cause weight gain? For people suffering from asthma, steroids are a common prescription to combat airway inflammation and facilitate better breathing. One major side effect of using steroids for a long period, however, is weight gain. Steroids can interfere with the body’s metabolism, triggering increased appetite and subsequently a higher intake of daily calories.

Which is why Anant Ambani regained weight drastically after losing 108kgs in just 18 months. His condition with asthma is so critical that leaving steroids was never an option, and while he is on steroids, working out and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to control weight gain is impossible.

However, we always say that take care of your body, and prioritize your activities according to what your body needs. In this case, we must support Anant Ambani for choosing health over anything else.
