Definition and Prevention of Obesity:
Obesity has emerged as a major health threat in the United States. The challenge is now affecting our children who are following the path of the adults. Obesity is a direct precursor or contributor to several serious ailments , such as diabetes , hypertension, heart disease, stroke, cancer, degenerative joint disease , chronic back pain , higher risk of injuries and a plethora of ailments. In the United States, obesity contributes to more than 360,000 deaths every year and is a major factor in escalating health care costs. ● Obesity limits mobility, reduces motivation, impacts self-image, promotes depression and other health related behavior disorders . These conditions set in a negative vicious cycle that further perpetuates the obesity problem. ● Obese children run a higher risk of getting bullied than slimmer children. Weight status is a documented predictor for bullying that is independent of child‛s intelligence, gender, social skills and academic or economical status. The risk peaks between the ages of 6 and 9. ● Obesity does not result from just overeating. Types of foods that we consume also impact our weight. Soda, liquor, fructose-laden fruit juices, fruit drinks, fast and fried foods, refined flour, pork and red meat are some of the common culprits. Plastics and growth hormones in commercial foods have also been implicated in its causation. Passive entertainment such as television, excessive Internet usage, movies, video games and hours of fiction reading all contribute to the disorder. Prevention of Obesity: The very first step toward prevention is awareness of the problem and a diligent watch of the belt size. Waistline across the umbilicus should measure 50 percent or less than the body height. Standard weight/height charts and BMI measurement methods are widely available and provide reliable measures to monitor progress.
Lifestyle assessment and gradual dietary and activity adjustments provide consistent and enduring results when compared to crash diets or other extreme programs. Cutting down 100 calories per day and burning an additional 100 calories per day can result in two pounds lost per month. Relapses are far less common in lifestyle adjustment methods. Home meals are far superior to restaurant meals. Normalizing weight ends up normalizing several other aspects of life with demonstrable enhancement of life, its quality, health , energy, self-image, relations, productivity and overall improved sense of self.
