Obesity or overweight. It has become a growing health-complexity in the last few decades worldwide. It has already emerged as an epidemic in Western countries. That is, what was the fear of experts so far on paper, that is the reality there today.
Onslaught of obesity!
This onslaught of obesity began in the West more than two centuries ago. According to health experts there, it is spreading as fast as deadly cancer. They say, the situation is now almost as if an irresistible alien force from aliens is coming and conquering one state after another in America.
Obesity in recent years!
In recent years this situation has reached a more dire level. A survey by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2009-2010) reported that more than one-third of the population (35.7%) was overweight. Again 17 percent of them are young. Health experts all over the world, including America, are really worried about these data. Because this attack of obesity is increasing day by day and not decreasing. This is confirmed in a research report published in the Journal of Internal Medicine published by the American College of Physicians.
Monitoring the daily lifestyle of 4,000 people, the report noted, if this rate of obesity continues, the consequences could be dire. Because it is likely that after 30 years, nine out of 10 men and seven out of 10 women will be overweight.
Diseases are increasing, medical expenses are increasing
As the rate of obesity increases, so do various diseases. Such as: heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, gallbladder disease, sleep apnea (breathing problems during sleep), osteoporosis and various life-threatening cancers.
Not only that, the excess weight of parents increases the risk of life-threatening diseases in future generations. According to a study conducted at the University of Edinburgh, UK, children of overweight parents have a 35 percent higher risk of premature death due to heart attack and stroke than normal. In this context, Professor Rebecca Reynolds, an expert in metabolic medicine at the University, said that considering the health of the unborn child, parents should focus on weight control before pregnancy.
According to the results of a survey by the US Department of Health and Human Services, the cause of 300,000 premature deaths in the country every year is excessive body weight. It also states that obesity can increase a person’s chances of premature death many times over. Diseases are increasing, as a result, medical expenses are naturally increasing. For one, overweight people have an extra fourteen dollars in annual medical expenses. As a result, in 2008 obesity alone cost the United States $147 billion in additional medical costs.
Fat and trade
327,65,86,860 kg. No, it’s not a giant mountain or the weight of an enormous object. This is the total amount of overweight Americans. Experts say, now you can look at this situation in two ways – this growing obesity in America will appear in the near future as a terrible national crisis, which will lead to a gradual increase in the incidence of life-threatening diseases, including diabetes and heart disease. Again you can see it as a big business opportunity.
What is the medical community saying about weight?
The medical community says that the treatment of overweight patients means a lot of money. Americans spend an additional $150 billion annually on weight loss and related treatments alone. The whole matter was taken by the American businessmen as a great opportunity. What is called in straight Bengali is to beat the bushes. Medical-equipment manufacturers have already started making larger-than-usual CT scan machines. The quest to create injection syringes capable of penetrating the thick fat layer of the obese body, and even giant ambulances, has begun. And the hospitals are also waiting for their large body fat clients with all these. This dire situation of obesity has thus become a good source of easy money for the producers and manufacturers of these products.
Cars and fashion for the fat!
Not only clothing designers, but also automobile manufacturers have turned to creating spacious cars to cater to their chubby clientele. Of course, when 65 percent of adult people in the country are carrying excess body fat, it is normal for this to happen. Because, the manufacturers are also thinking that I have made the fashion-trendy nice dress, now it will be worn by my customer? Or whether the car’s seatbelt will actually fit.
Tain is a fat American, who has a huge bed to sleep in, a toilet commode that weighs about five hundred kilograms, and needs a huge towel after a shower. But these materials were scarce some time ago. A few decades ago, these products did not exist, and there were no buyers for them. Now the situation has changed. There are both.
America’s health care management!
A senior official of an American healthcare management organization recently told US News and World Report in an interview that the maximum limit of the scale used in hospitals to measure weight was 160 kilograms. What is needed now is a digital scale capable of displaying weights up to 450 kg. Not only that, the image of clothing sales is also changing rapidly. Women aged eighteen and over are now often buying plus size clothes. This resulted in an additional $32 billion spent on shopping in America in 2005 alone, a 47 percent increase over 2000. This information is known in various statistics.
In America, apart from clothing, the size of car seats, office chairs, and even seats reserved for worshipers in churches are being expanded. The width of the seat in the church was 40 cm, now it has been increased to 53 cm on the orders of the church authorities. The information was given by the chief executive of a church furniture manufacturer.
Think about fat tourists!
Also, resorts built in various tourist spots are now being designed a little differently, keeping fat tourists in mind. Huge beds and furniture are being used in them. Not just adults, nearly 300,000 American children between the ages of one and six are growing up overweight. All in all it has accumulated well. American fat-trade.
Causes of obesity
Researchers have identified sedentary lifestyle and wrong eating habits as the main cause of obesity in the world today. As a result of the unprecedented development of technology, the need for minimum effort in our daily life has largely disappeared. As a result, a large part of the calories we consume through food remains unused due to physical inactivity, which is later converted into fat.
On the other hand, our food habits have changed drastically. Once upon a time, almost all of people’s daily food was of natural origin. But that picture has changed little by little in the last 50 years. Processed foods high in sugar and high fat are now rampant around the world. And along with this, the laughing of obese people with excess weight is increasing.
Stress due to excess weight!
Stress also plays a role in being overweight. Many people who suffer from chronic stress turn to unhealthy junk food as a way to escape, researchers say. Stress causes a neurotransmitter (neuropeptide Y) to be released from the brain’s hypothalamus, which increases the feeling of hunger, especially cravings for sugary foods. Then the amount of food is more. As a result of long-term mental stress, some hormones such as steroids and insulin levels in the human body are higher than normal. It increases the amount of fat in the body. And this fat mainly accumulates in the middle of the body i.e. around the stomach, it is relatively more harmful as it increases the risk of various diseases. Beauty is harmful.
Right weight, healthy body, fresh mind
For a long time, health researchers had the idea that toxins or toxic substances in our body are mainly stored in the liver, but recent studies have shown that most of the toxins in the body accumulate in fat. And the amount of these toxins stored in fat is about a hundred times more than in blood. So it is said that reducing the amount of fat in the body also reduces the amount of toxins. It increases the chances of recovery. That is, body weight control is required for overall health. Proper weight ensures mental and physical well-being. And be aware of this now.
Your weight according to height!
First, know your ideal weight for your height. If it is more than the desired weight, set a realistic goal to lose the excess weight. Don’t fall for the ‘lose 7kg in 7 days’ national school ad trap when trying to reduce obesity. There is more potential for loss than gain. So set minimum goals. For example, it is advisable to lose one to two kg of weight per month.
To this end, develop a healthy diet. Prefer natural foods in the daily diet such as: sufficient vegetables, moderate sugars, fish, fresh fruits, nuts etc. Avoid fried, oily, sugary foods, fast food, soft drinks and all artificial and processed foods and drinks as much as possible keeping in mind your health. Exercise regularly – at least 30 minutes a day. This is the best way to lose weight. Exercise helps to reduce body weight both directly and indirectly. walk regularly Avoid rickshaws or cars, lifts for short distances. That is, be as active and active as possible throughout the day. Get used to a healthy lifestyle overall. The weight will be under your complete control. The body will become neat and fresh. You will enjoy a joyful and happy life.
