OBESITY
Obesity is a
condition when there are too many fats in our body causing our weight exceeds
the ideal weight. Obesity can be measured by dividing person’s weight by the
square of the individual’s height. When the result is in the range of 25-30 kg/m2 then it’s defined
as overweight. Before 2014, the number of people who are obese is three times
lower than the number after 2014 which is more than 640 million who are
considered obese. Do you know how dangerous obesity is?
Generally, Obesity
is caused by overeating and less moving. Consuming massive amount of fat and
sugars without burning equal amounts of calories through physical activities
may bring harmful impacts on human's body. Those remaining energies which are
not used for exercising will be stored inside our body and eventually
transformed into fat. A condition when too much fats are kept inside the body
is called obesity. This condition is even worse when people have unbalanced
diets. For example, it is very common nowadays to find people who are too busy
with their jobs until there is no enough time left for eating proper meals and
exercising. Those kinds of individuals tend to consume poor diets such as fast
foods or instant which may increase the risk
of being obese.
Besides people's diets
and lack of physical activities, obesity is also caused by emotions. If people
are in bad mood due to several reasons, they will tend to eat more to make them
feel better. It is believed that snacking have the ability to console problems
temporarily, especially desserts. Most desserts contain excessive amounts of
sugar which if not balanced with the right portion of exercise, will cause obesity.
In addition, carbohydrates which come from sugary foods are the most harmful
and have the highest risk of diabetes type 2.
Obesity can cause some issues both physically and mentally.
The chances of people who are overweight getting some serious health problems
such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis and high blood pressure are
higher than those who aren't. Having an overly fat physical appearance isn't
something that you'd brag about, most people, who suffer it, usually feel
insecure about themselves. Another problem that may occur is bullying which may
lead to the victim getting depressed to the point where he/she will go through
severe anxiety. The feeling of insecurity and the harassment can make the
person suffering it feels a deep mental scar that can lead to other issues or
at worse cases suicide.
There are number of ways to prevent
obesity. Among others, we should have a habit of eating vegetables and fruits
more. Next, we should exercise more either at the gym or at home even though it
only takes short time, around 20 until 30 minutes. If we are stressed, we
should not overeat because we can find another solution for our problem. Eating
at night after 7 pm is not good for our body, so we should eat before 7 pm. We
should consider our portion before we eat. We are also not supposed to eat junk
food. Another solution to obesity is we can do meal prep for seven days. With
meal prep, we will eat according to the planned portion.
In conclusion, obesity is caused by
several factors, such as overeating and having poor diet programs. It can lead
to other physical and mental problems. Therefore, obesity should be avoided in
order to have healthy and happy life. Although it is dangerous, it doesn’t mean
that it can’t be prevented. There are some solutions to overcome this problem,
such as having balanced diets, proper and regular physical activities and others.
But we should avoid the use of chemical pills which can lead us to more serious
program. The most important thing to overcome obesity is we should build a
healthy and disciplined habits in our daily life.
