Over weight make people worst health

Introduction to Obesity

Today, the subject of obesity is of much concern to millions of
people all over the world. Not only has it sparked a lot of
talk, but it has also begun to be ranked as a serious risk
comparable to certain diseases. In fact, some doctors even call
obesity itself a disease. So what exactly is obesity and what do
you need to know about it?

What is obesity?

Obesity: The state of being well above one's normal weight.

Obesity is a state in which there is generalised accumulation of
excess fat in the body leading to a body weight of more than 20%
of the required weight. Obesity invites disability, disease and
premature death. Usually obesity is due to positive energy
balance. That is the intake of calories is more than the
expenditure of calories. It is one of the most common disorders
in medical practice and among the most frustrating.

Obesity is common in North America, Australia and Europe. It
also occurs, but is less common, in developing countries.

Obesity is a chronic disease that is increasing in prevalence
and that poses a serious risk for the development of various
diseases, like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart disease,
gall bladder disease and certain forms of cancer.

There are so many reasons why you should aim to fight obesity.
Being fat is ugly, for one thing. It is perceived as a sign of
incompetence. The reason weight loss products are selling like
hotcakes is the increasing number of obese people recorded each
year. Being fat poses a lot of risks to health.

Obese : Excessively corpulent; fat; fleshy.

You may not know this, but people who are overweight are likely
to suffer from diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and
many other diseases. Overweight people also suffer from
inferiority complex. They feel that they cannot mingle well at
work, home, and school. Their relationships suffer due to lack
of confidence. Here are some ways that you can defeat obesity.
They are really simple and are found to be very effective in
battling obesity.

Drink water. The reason some diets fail is because people fail
to include this in their regimen. Your body is composed mainly
of water. Water is essential to your body. There are studies
showing that people who drink a lot of water lose more weight as
compared to those who drink beverages with sugar. It helps you
detoxify your body of unwanted toxins. It will also rid the body
of excess sodium. Salt is the sole culprit for water retention.
Chances are, the weight that you've been carrying around can be
water instead of fat.

Do some cardio workouts. Exercise is still the best way to lose
fat. Do some exercise that you will surely love. There are a lot
of cardio workouts that are definitely fun. If your routine is
fun, chances are you will stick with them.

Eat fiber. Fiber will keep you full for a long period of time.
This way, you have reason to avoid overeating. It is also good
for the digestion of food.

Natural treatment of Obesity

With well-planned diet, suitable exercises and elimination
methods, obesity can be controlled. Undertake a juice fast for
10 days. Spend a further 4-5 days on an exclusive fruit diet.
Thereafter embark upon a low-calorie well balanced diet. Avoid
high-calorie and high carbohydrate foods and beverages.

Avoid eating when you are worried, angry or tired.

Chew food properly to a pulp before swallowing.

Eat only when you are hungry.

Savor the flavors of the food and enjoy every bite.

Ingestion of honey is an excellent home remedy. Take 10 grams of
honey with hot water initially. Then gradually increase the
dose.

Fasting on honey and lime juice water helps lose weight without
loss of energy or appetite. 1 Teaspoon honey and juice of half a
lime should be mixed with lukewarm water and taken at regular
intervals.

An exclusive lemon juice diet is also very effective. On the
first day drink only water. On the second day juice of 3 lemons
mixed with equal quantity of water should be given. Then onwards
increase 1 lemon everyday till you have reached 12 lemons per
day. After that reduce 1 lemon everyday till you have come down
to 3 lemons per day.

Cabbage is very beneficial in weight reduction. A helping of
cabbage salad helps stay slim. It is easily digestible and gives
a lasting feeling of fullness.

Exercising burns the calories and tones the muscles of the body.

Walking, running, rowing, swimming and outdoor sports are best
exercises.

Yoga helps melt excess fat gradually. Heavy massage, steam bath
and sauna bath also helps reduce weight.

Have a positive approach towards life.

Treatment of Obesity

Treatment of obesity should be undertaken with a clear
understanding of the realities of the problem and its outcome.

First, obesity is a chronic disease that is increasing in
prevalence. Second, the cause of obesity is unknown and the cure
is unlikely. Thus simply providing relief becomes the aim of the
treatment. Third, obesity and visceral fat, even when they are
not markedly elevated, increase health risks. Fourth, obesity is
a stigmatised condition in which the overweight subject is
frequently viewed as responsible for the condition.

Fifth, weight regain is common in obesity. Sixth, drugs and
other treatments for obesity do not work; when appetite reducing
drugs are discontinued, patients regain weight, in keeping with
the concept that drugs do not cure obesity but only relieve its
symptoms.

Most successful programs employ a multidisciplinary approach to
weight loss, with hypocaloric diets, behaviour modification to
change eating behaviour, aerobic exercise and social support.
Emphasis must be on maintenance of weight loss.

What Can You Do To Lose Belly Fat?

Do you really want to know a valuable belly fat cure? Well,

you're maybe tired of hearing and reading common advices such
as, eat right, exercise regularly and the like, in order to lose
that belly fat. Well, in actual fact, the abovementioned clichéd
advices are effective, but there is one thing that is considered
the most efficient of all – boosting ones metabolism.

You will discover four hidden factors that may be undermining 
your metabolism. Check out each factor one by one
to help you discover a belly fat cure that you've long wished to
know. Remember, if you come into terms with these following
factors, you sure will unearth in the end, the best cure.

Missed and neglected meals

Severe calorie restriction definitely slows down a person's
metabolism. What's more, if the food shortage persists, this
will further bring down your metabolic rate. If you must look
leaner in no time, momentarily reduce your carb intake to below
50 grams, yet without eating less than the 2,000 calorie total
requirement. Thus, the next time you try to starve yourself and
miss a meal, think of what it can add your waistline as you lead
yourself to constipation in the long run. Now, that is not
belly-friendly at all!

Drug (antidepressants) therapy

This is one irony of antidepressants. They can heighten and
boost a person's level of alertness and spirits, yet depresses
ones metabolism. According to studies, mood medications are the
ones most likely to cause side effects, and such is undermining
ones metabolism. Hence, one cure is to avoid drug medications
specifically antidepressants as this curbs the body's metabolic
rate thereby adding more fats in your belly.

Hypothyroidism and Hormone shortage

When you're thyroid gland doesn't draw off enough hormone, your
metabolism is forced to downshift. This is called hypothyroidism
and this namesake hormone shortage slows almost every metabolic
process that includes calorie and fat burning. Therefore, if you
have this health problem, a blood test of your
thyroid-stimulating hormone is required. And, you need to take
note of this kind of condition so as not to hinder your goal of
losing your belly fats very soon.

Smoking cessation

Smoking is indeed bad for your health and every part of you, but
not your metabolism, which it tends to fire up. Do you want to
know the likely reason? The body is compelled to use up extra
energy trying to detoxify itself from the chemicals.
Regrettably, this is a big part why people lay on the lard after
quitting smoking. And so, as a way of offsetting your metabolic
dip; a chew of nicorette gums can be a sound alternative.
Research proved that men who chew nicotine gum spiked with 100mg
of caffeine experienced an increase metabolic rate, weigh
against traditional smoking.

There you have it, the four factors that hinder a person's
metabolism. Keep in mind, you will never discover belly fat cure
unless you're not aware of what causes fat accumulation in the
midsection in the first place. So, before you begin your diet
and exercise, think of the above-mentioned factors, and then
move your way towards losing that belly fat.
