Anant Ambani has faced considerable health challenges, greatly concerning his weight and asthma. According to reports, his struggles with obesity have been closely associated with the long-term use of steroids prescribed for his severe asthma.

Why did Anant regain the weight?
Anant Ambani gained weight and now weighs 110 kgs. He is facing body-balancing issues. According to a 2023 analysis, patients suffering from asthma are more likely to develop obesity in adulthood. Adults suffering from asthma must take care of their weight management practices more than adults without asthma.

Anant Ambani’s excessive weight is primarily the result of corticosteroids. They are used in medication against asthma. Corticosteroids efficiently reduce inflammation and prevent asthma symptoms. But they have side effects, just like many other medications. One of the most significant side effects is obesity.
Other side effects include increased appetite and reduction in physical activity. The medicine also redistributes fat and retains fluids, which allows more weight to settle. With weight gain, the lungs can be restricted, which can result in breathing problems. Asthma can be triggered as fat tissue produces inflammatory substances that can affect the lungs.
Anant Ambani is also known for his kindness, his love for animals, and his “Vantara” wildlife preservation project. He has also publicly expressed his strong belief in Sanatan. However, Anant Ambani’s weight has also been a topic of news. Despite trying various lifestyle changes to achieve a healthy weight, Anant is struggling to do so.
