10 Tips To Become Healthy



#1: Say No To Fad Diets
These diets will cut out certain food groups. We have all heard of the high protein or high carb diets, but these make the body unhealthy because certain vitamins and minerals are not absorbed properly.

#2: Only Lose Weight for Yourself
Do not try to lose weight because a boyfriend or family member aid you should. It must be something that you do for yourself. If your health is at risk which is making people worried then this is different and you should listen to them and do something about it.

#3: Drink Lots Of Water
Drinking water can help in two ways. Firstly, water will help you to digest the foods that you consume more effectively and remove toxins from the body. Secondly, water will make you full and cause you to eat less.

#4: Eat Fiber To Keep You Full
Fiber can help the body to digest food better and acts in a similar way to water. It also moves fatty deposits and cholesterol out of the body. Even if you are not dieting you must eat fiber everyday. Proactol’s main ingredient, Neopuntia, is an amazing patented lipophilic fibre complex which binds over 28% of dietary fat intake, making it the most recommended therapy for obesity and weight management by doctors.

#5: Do Not Skip Breakfast
Breakfast is definitely the most important meal of the day and will ensure that the digestive system begins to function properly and it will make you less likely to eat unhealthy snack at work before lunch. Eat a breakfast that is high in fiber with little calories. You can also eat fresh fruit with low fat yoghurt.

#6: Eat Enough Calories
People tend to cut out calories when trying to lose weight, but the body needs calories to keep your metabolism functioning properly. If your body is starving it will break down muscle to use as food.

#7: Exercise Is Necessary
If you do not exercise when you are losing weight, the left over skin will hang. Exercise will tighten your skin and speed up weigh loss as the muscles that you gain will burn calories faster.

#8: Try Not To Look At The Scales
When you are dieting and exercising it can be scary when you step on the scale only to find that you haven’t lost any weight or that you have even gained weight. This is normal as muscle weighs more than fat. You should rather judge your progress by clothes that fit better and your body shape.

#9: Eat Healthy Snacks
If you eat snacks that are healthy and that do not have more than 100 calories will prevent you from overeating when it is meal time.

#10: Low Calorie Dieting Will Work

If you watch the amounts of calories you consume you will be healthier. The emphasis is on a healthy eating plan and not a strict diet. You can eat whatever you want as long as you lower your calorie intake, so have less of what you want and compensate with other lower calorie foods.

What Is Obesity???


There are many source can you describe about obesity..So, i just found a little bit meaning of obesity for you all....Ihope you can get benefit from it..

 1.

Obesity is a term used to describe body weight that is much greater than what is healthy. If you are obese, you also have a much higher amount of body fat than is healthy or desirable.
Adults with a body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) between 25 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m2 are considered overweight.
Adults with a BMI greater than or equal to 30 kg/m2 are considered obese.
Anyone who is more than 100 pounds overweight or who has a BMI greater than or equal to 40 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese.

The English word ‘Obesity’ derives from the Latin Obesus meaning ‘fat’ or ‘plump’. The first English use of the word was made in 1651 in Noah Bigg’s medical book Mataeotechnia Medicinae Praxeos.
In medical studies, obesity is defined as a person having more than 20 per cent of ideal weight. Ideal weight takes into account height, age, sex and build of a person. According to National Health Institute, USA, the Body Mass Index of a person is the key factor to define obesity. As per NHI standard, a person with 30 pounds of more fat content in his or her body is considered obese.
Body Mass Index, or BMI, is a health indicator of the diseases associated with obese men and women. These health factors include “silent-killers” such as: diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Many obese individuals do not even realize they have one or more of these diseases.
By waist measurement and BMI, body fat can be measured. Obesity is defined as a waistline of 35 inches or higher for woman and for men a waistline of 40 inches or higher. The BMI formula calculates body weight and height.  The formula works by dividing an individual’s weight (Kg) by their height (meters squared). It can also be worked out by multiplying weight in pounds by 703, and dividing height in inches. Again a division is necessary by height (inches).
Obesity can also be defined as a BMI of 30 pounds over a person considered normal weight. Weight standards are calculated according to a person’s height. Excessive obesity is defined as a BMI of 40 or higher. There is another way of defining obesity. It is overweight, with a BMI of 25 to less than 30. A person’s BMI of about 25 kg/m (squared) corresponds to about 10 per cent over a normal weight.
Broadly speaking, obesity can be defined as a body’s extra fat that is stored in tissues as a result of excessive consumption of caloric food, which is not compatible with the routine manual labor undertaken. Simply put, what a person takes in they must put out. This involves the physical act of eating in comparison with the level of physical movement.
