The issue of Weight Management and obesity is increasing in both adults and
children. The issues associated with eating disorders or low Body Mass
Index (BMI) are a different story altogether. Obesity and weight
management are crucial for consideration among masses.
Disasters of weight and obesity
People
who are severely obese are likely to die on average a decade (10 years)
earlier than those with a healthy weight. The health risks include but
are not limited to: -
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Poly cystic ovarian syndrome
- Problems during childbirth
- Liver and gall bladder disease
- Respiratory problems
- Disturbed menstrual cycle
Obesity is a chronic disorder that affects both physical and mental health, as well as deteriorates the quality of life, in numerous ways. Obesity is further associated with increased risks of other chronic diseases and health conditions. Individuals with obesity suffer from functional limitations e.g. impaired mobility, and also psychosocial problems like bullying.
The hectic routines have reduced the time spent on ourselves and very few people manage to exercise or involve in other physical activities. Though health care organizations regularly organize events, marathons and awareness campaigns but for some individuals already struggling with obesity, these important public health initiatives are not sufficient for the weight loss necessary to improve their health.
Persons with obesity have few clinical treatment options, available. Many of these treatments are provided in intensive programs. Similarly, surgery offers an effective intervention for some patients with severe obesity.
Understanding of Obesity
Obesity is a complex condition that develops from interplay among various factors. Weight gain and obesity lead to hormonal and other physical adaptations that makes weight loss more difficult.
Characterization of the sample population
Characterization of obesity is based primarily on size determined by the BMI scale.
Additional Treatments for Obesity
Obesity drugs are not always safe or suitable for everyone who is wishing to use them, it is important that safe and effective drugs are made available as a treatment options for people with this condition that require an alternative to diet, exercise, or surgery. Diet initiatives produce quick weight loss, but maintaining it is frequently difficult and usually requires adaptation of a lower calorie diet as a permanent part of life. Weight control also improves outcomes for both the mother and the child. Surgery for severe obesity is associated with long-term weight loss. Due to its cost and the risk of complications, researchers are searching for other effective yet less invasive treatments.
Proper weight loss is accomplished by eating small portions with shorter breaks. We need to eat healthier food. Instead of skipping breakfast for full fledged meals it is better to have small portions.We should never eat our full, enough space should be left to have a second helping. This is always better than eating one time and keeping the food in stomach for several hours. If we don't eat, our body will go into starvation mode. It will start accumulating body fat. It's important to get enough calories spaced throughout the day for a proper metabolism. Our body will eat its own muscle tissue first before burning fat if it is starved on proteins.
The management of obesity and weight will pave a way towards healthier life and environment in general.This will enable you to reduce body weight and combat obesity.
