Nobody’s wanted to become fat, it’s hard to move, and obese people often face prejudice or discrimination at work, at school, in social situations. Feelings of rejection, shame, or depression are common.
That’s because of our forgetfulness to take care of our body, one morning we wake up fatty, this is the time we thought to exercise and do all thing to become slim.
Obesity is an excess proportion of total body fat. A person is considered obese when his/her weight is 20% or more above normal weight. The most common measure of obesity is the body mass index (BMI).
There is a cause of obesity that beyond our control it is a Hypothyroidism. (Poorly acting thyroid slows metabolism), depression, and some rare diseases of the brain that can lead to overeating. There are medications that can help regulate your thyroid gland and improve your rate of metabolism.
Hypothyroidism is a disease that affects the hormones produced by your thyroid gland. When this happens, your metabolism is impacted and you can gain a lot of weight over a short period of time.
A bad diet is not the only thing that causes obesity. But it is one of them. If you eat foods that contain things like high fructose corny syrup regularly (fast food contains a ton of it!), you are putting your body at risk for obesity.
There are many ingredients in everyday foods that are simply not natural. If your body cannot process these ingredients in a timely fashion, it can cause you to gain weight over time. In addition, if you don't get enough exercise on a regular basis, obesity may be in your future.
- Age. As you get older, your body's ability to metabolize food slows down and you do not require as many calories to maintain your weight.
- Genetics. Obesity (and thinness) tends to run in families. In a study of adults who were adopted as children.
- Psychological factors also influence eating habits and obesity. Many people eat in response to negative emotions such as boredom, sadness, or anger.
- Several ways to Treat Obesity like, diet, behavior modification therapy, natural ways, medication and surgery,
- Low calorie diets (LCDs) are individually planned to include 500 to 1,000 calories a day less than you burn.
- Very low calorie diets (VLCDs) typically limit intake to only 400 to 800 calories a day and feature high-protein, low-fat liquids.
- Behavior modification therapy is to change your eating and exercise habits to promote weight loss. Examples include:
- Setting realistic weight loss goals short term and long term. Recording your diet and exercise patterns in a diary.
- Identifying high-risk situations and avoiding them.
- Rewarding specific actions, such as exercising for a longer time or eating less of a certain type of food.
- Adopting realistic beliefs about weight loss and body image.
- Developing a support network, including family, friends and co-workers, or joining a support group that can help you focus on your goal.
Although some people experience success with behavior modification, most patients achieve only short-term weight loss for the first year. Exercise greatly increases your chance of long-term weight loss. It is a key component for any long-term weight management program, particularly weight-loss surgery.
Daily physical activity can help speed up your metabolism, effectively reducing the "set point" a sort of thermostat in the brain that makes you resistant to either weight gain or loss to a lower natural weight.
The following strategies can help you start exercising and can be incorporated into your daily routine.
- Park your car at the far end of parking lots and walk through them.
- Walking is considered one of the most effective forms of exercise. You can start slowly and build up over time.
- Reduce the time you spend watching television.
- Ride an exercise bike.
- Swim or participate in low-impact water aerobics.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
- Walk briskly for five minutes in the morning and five minutes in the afternoon.
- Incorporating more natural foods into your diet, drinking more water, cutting out junk food.
Medication
Weight loss drugs, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating obesity, include.
- Beta-methyl-phenylethylamine (Fastin) — this is a stimulant that increases fat metabolism.
- Orlistat (Xenical) — this drug works by blocking about 30 percent of dietary fat from being absorbed.
- Phentermine — Phentermine, an appetite suppressant, has been available for many years.
- Sibutramine (Meridia) — this is an appetite suppressant approved for long-term use.
Medications are an important part of the morbid obesity treatment process but weight-loss drugs can have serious side effects. We recommend that you visit a certified health care professional who can prescribe appropriate medications.
Bariatric surgery, which involves sealing off most of the stomach to reduce the quantity of food you can consume, can be an effective means for morbidly obese people to lose weight and maintain that weight loss. To be considered for weight-loss surgery, you must meet at least one of the following qualifications: Be more than 100 pounds over your ideal, recommended body weight.
Prevention from Obesity.
If you are concerned about obesity, there are some things you can do to prevent it. First,
make sure you are maintaining a healthy diet and getting enough exercise. Next, see you doctor regularly and make sure that you have her check your Body Mass Index, or BMI, to make sure you're not suffering from obesity. This is a test that takes your height and weight into account to determine your level of health.
Regardless of how you do it, make sure you do everything you can to steer clear of obesity.
Obesity risks range from heart attacks to diabetes. Obesity effects can also impact your
everyday life and make it harder for you to enjoy it.
It was two years ago, new year day when I decide to fill my stomach of course I didn’t control what I eat, I told myself that after new year I will exercise daily but I didn’t do what I say instead I ate a lot until I realized I have a bulky stomach, my abs has gone, I want to bring it back but I can’t because I need hard work that I cant do anymore. But still want to pursue it in a natural way.
