People think very little about the habit of eating or the simple reasons why they eat. Have you ever asked yourself this question: why do you eat?
When taking an online survey, the most common responses to this question, which we received, were due to people being tired, hungry or having a rumbling stomach. In addition to this, sometimes people eat because they are bored, sad, happy or just because it is the usual time for lunch / dinner. Sometimes the temptation to eat right makes them eat more, like a hot chocolate covered brownie or donut that looks good and is tempting to eat.
It is our eating habits that make our body become obese or thin; Both the conditions such as obesity or malnutrition depend on our eating habits.
Our eating habits consist of many parameters: when we eat, how often we eat, the amount of food we eat each time, and the combination of nutrients we consume; And every time something goes wrong, we enter one of two conditions: obesity or malnutrition.
In this specific article we will discuss the role diet plays in the treatment of obesity:
Let’s first understand what obesity is:
- Obesity generally refers to a medical condition in which excess body fat accumulates to a point where it can lead to a short life expectancy and many other health problems such as obstructive sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, heart disease, and more. .
- It is generally measured and defined by body mass index (BMI) and BMI is closely related to both body fat percentage and total body fat.
- Obesity is one of the leading causes of premature death and is now considered one of the most serious health problems of the 21st century.
Let’s face it, obesity not only has health risks, it can affect our overall personalities and we all want to look perfect just like our other desires: money, fame, and love. Therefore, it is very important that you consider diet whenever you think you are obese.
Diet plays a three-way role in dealing with obesity, removing extra weight, leaving you looking healthy and attractive.
Let’s understand how:
- Balance nutritious and healthy food supplements: A diet plan will always have a list of nutritious and healthy food supplements that are necessary for healthy body structure and growth. Just like you need to fuel your car or recharge your mobile battery, you need to eat healthy foods to have a good body structure; but the excess and the deficit of everything is fatal, therefore, a diet plan consists of a perfect combination of necessary nutrients (such as proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, etc. with a low percentage of fat) according to the structure and requirements from his body. Thus, your body will have the ability to burn the extra fat, while still managing to maintain the daily routine.
- Channel the frequency in which we eat: one of the most common mistakes we usually make is eating at any time and at all times, that is why we tend to gain weight and lose control of our body and gain a lot of extra fat. A proper diet plan schedules this feeding frequency and schedules the appropriate intervals before eating again. This is not only effective for controlling fat accumulation in the body, but also for bowel movements, and by adopting a proper diet program, you may not be at risk of improper defecation or problems with your stool.
- The little helpers: While people in the 21st century were drawn to hamburgers and pizzas that offered a wide variety of delicious junk food, they forgot about the benefits of having “the little helpers” or vitamins, minerals, and fiber (dietary fiber) as part of routine eating habits; the main reason obesity has become one of the most challenging situations for most developed economies like the United States of America. A good diet plan has more vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber that speeds up the metabolism and facilitates a good digestive system in general; making it difficult for fats to be stored within the cells of your body.
In conclusion, I would like to say that it does not matter whether you are of normal weight or overweight, you must follow a proper diet program and plan a healthy and long life. Eat Healthy, Live Healthy !!!
