ABOUT OBESITY

Safest way to cure obesity

Obesity can be best described as the most common nutritional disorder especially in the affluent group of people. It is a condition in which excessive accumulation of fat takes place in the body due to intake of food in excess of physiological requirements.

Obesity refers to an increase in total body fat. The easiest and most widely accepted method of determining whether you are obese is by measuring your Body Mass Index, or BMI. To calculate your BMI, follow these steps:

Multiply your weight in pounds by 705; divide by your height in inches; divide this number by your height in inches a second time.

A normal BMI = 18.5-24.9; overweight = 25.0-29.9; obese = 30 or greater; and morbidly obese = 40 or greater.

Causes and Risk Factors of Obesity

  • Genetic factors play an important role in determining the traits of obesity. Some genes play the role to telling the body how to metabolize food and to use extra calories or stored fat. Obesity runs in families as generally families eat similar foods, have similar lifestyle habits and thinking patterns, such as that children should eat more to become big and healthy.
    Certain illnesses like thyroid problems or genetic diseases run in families.
  • Emotions can fuel obesity, as people tend to eat more when they are upset, anxious, sad, stressed or even bored. Afterwards they feel bad about eating more, and later to relieve this stress, they may eat even more.
  • Sedentary lifestyle is another important factor as people tend to eat more when they are doing nothing and just sitting idly watching TV or video games. Cars dominate our life and we seldom walk or exercise. There is less time to cook healthy food and we often tend to eat fast foods.

It is also to be remembered that obesity is not the result of momentary overeating. It is a long term phenomenon because people tend to overeat over long periods of time.

Why Should I Care About Obesity?

In addition to body image issues, obesity causes significant health issues. This extra weight exerts a generally debilitating effect on the whole body.

  • Enlargement of liver due to high fat content.
  • Extra weight puts a lot of pressure on heart and peripheral vascular system and usually leads to high blood pressure and heart disease.
  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus can be triggered by even moderate rise in fat.
  • Colorectal cancer and breast cancer has been associated with obese people.
  • Respiratory problems are also aggravated by excessive weight gain.
  • Excessive fat also affects the menstruation.

Needless to say the whole body system, as well as one's general quality of life, is adversely affected by carrying too much weight.

How Can You Avoid Becoming Overweight or Obese?

  • The best way to avoid these health problems is to maintain a healthy weight. And the keys to healthy weight are regular exercise and good eating habits.
  • To stay active, try to exercise 30 to 60 minutes every day. Your exercise doesn't have to be hard. Walking, swimming, and stretching are all good ways to burn calories and can help you stay fit. Try these activities to get moving:
    • Go outside for a walk.
    • Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
    • Walk or bike to places (such as school or a friend's house) instead of driving.
    • If you have to drive somewhere, park farther away than you need to and walk the extra distance.
    • Tackle those household chores, such as vacuuming, washing the car, or cleaning the bathroom - they all burn calories.
    • Alternate activities so you don't get bored: Try running, biking, skating.
    • Limit your time watching TV or playing video games.Go dancing -- it can burn more than 300 calories an hour!
  • Eating well doesn't mean dieting over and over again to lose a few pounds. Instead, try to make healthy choices every day.
  • Soft drinks, fruit juices, and sports drinks are loaded with sugar; drink fat-free or low-fat milk or water instead.
  • Eat ample amount of fruit and vegetables every day.
  • Don't eat meals or snacks while watching TV because you'll probably end up eating more than you intend to.
  • Pay attention to the portion sizes of what you eat.
  • If you want a snack, try carrot sticks, a piece of fruit, or a piece of whole-grain toast instead of processed foods like chips and crackers, which can be loaded with fat and calories.
  • Eat when you're hungry, not when you're bored or because you can't think of anything else to do.
