THE O-FACTOR

GETTING 'in shape' has been a long cherished dream of many across the world.

THE O-FACTOR

A to Z diets, intermittent fasting, going wild with cardio, lifting weights like Hercules held the world on his shoulders, and even starving the obsession with 'looking perfect is a never-ending one.

And in the last few months, social media has been throwing up posts where celebrities, who once struggled with their weight, are suddenly looking slim, trim and 'perfect'. The secret shortcut? Ozempic. And everyone has been going gaga over it, wanting a sting or two of the 'magic' injection.

What is Ozempic?

Simply put, Ozempic is a prescription drug used to treat people with Type-2 diabetes. Diabetics have low insulin levels and high blood sugar, which is not good news for the smooth functioning of the body. What Ozempic does is lower your blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin. Diabetics can inject themselves with a single dose once a week.
