Obesity is a medical condition where excess body fat gets accumulated leading to adverse effects on health.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
is used to determine whether a person is obese or not and people having a BMI reading which is greater than 30
kg/m2 are diagnosed as obese.
The prime reasons of
obesity are eating too much junk food and living a sedentary lifestyle. Both of these factors on obesity can bring
in diseases like breathing difficulties, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart diseases and
osteo-arthritis.
Here are few reasons why we should rise to the occasion and fight obesity now.
Mortality, how long do wan't
to live?
Obesity has been
identified as one of the major and preventable causes of death around the world, and being among the highest
percentage of obese populations, we are pushing ourselves toward self destruction.
A BMI over 32 has been
found to double the mortality rate than that less than 30. Severe obesity reduces life expectancy by about 10
years.
Eating too much junk food should be avoided in the first place. Americans eat junk food because it is readily
available, and because television commercials tend to provoke eating such food. Fat cheese burgers, bacon and ham
are easily available when you are hungry, for instance, and so are those inviting soft drinks. These are much
cheaper and tastier than fresh fruits and homemade food, and easy availability and low prices are prime
attractions, huge portions of such food fuels obesity.
For obese smokers, the
picture is worse. They are doubly harming their body which can lead a life full of problems and
diseases!
Morbidity
Various physical and mental conditions termed as metabolic syndrome, gets
aggravated by obesity. These include conditions like high blood pressure, high levels of triglycerides and blood
cholesterol.
The complications may arise out of obesity or inter-related issues like sedentary
lifestyle and poor diet and increased body weight is responsible for osteoarthritis, sleeping disorder and mental
problems in many cases, social stigma is also an increasing problem. An increased number of fat cells leads to
conditions like fatty liver, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes.
Urgency
According to findings of a recent study, about three in every four of the American
population will be obese by 2020. The present scenario is not much better as America has the highest percentage of
obese population in the world. The situation has been reached and obesity is at an alarming level with more
children getting obese.
Once young people start getting obese, the fight becomes more difficult. A recent
survey has revealed that two out of three Americans are overweight or obese at this time. This is a stunning 50%
increase from the stats we had a decade ago. According to this study, more Americans are going to die this year
from obesity-related causes than last few years.
Warning
Obesity is poised to take over smoking as leading cause of preventable
death in America.
The battle against obesity should start at school level by spreading awareness
among young ones. The importance of a balanced diet, nutritional value of foods, and the significance of regular
exercise should be explained to future generations, too.
People need to follow a
schedule of exercise and remain active, plus control food habits to help prevent this deadly epidemic.
If just like us, you want to
fight obesity, keep reading. There has been much written about losing weight, here we will discuss the three
basic principles in preventing obesity
Despite hundreds of available dietary supplements and programs, some people still
find it hard to lose weight, you must stick at it.
1.Obesity and weight problems are not
pre-destined, we can do something to fight obesity and this
should start with doing your research. By this, we do not only mean that you research about obesity, but more
importantly, research about your family eating habits or patterns that you have inherited. Analyze your family
history so you can gain better understanding of yourself and your family background and link this with the
awareness you get from your research about this topic.
2. Understand the fact that eating is part of our
lives. We need to eat to survive, so if you want to lose weight,
you cannot just stop eating because that is considered by most laeding nutritions to be dangerous to your overall
health and means you no longer wish to live. Never attempt to engage in any program or diet that directs you to go
on a hunger strike because that means going against the nature of being human. You can eat but only in
moderation.
3. Be smart in choosing the foods you
eat. The more flavors your food has, the higher tendency for you
to overeat. Stick with the basics and if you can, avoid cooking food to retain their nutritional value.
Just try to follow a sensible regime, eat the correct foods to maintain your
energy levels and try to take as much exercise as possible, you will find that the more you do the more you will be
able to do.
you can to have more energy, be Healthier, look Younger, lose weight, and
cleanse your body.
