With changing lifestyle and dietary patterns, weight gain and obesity have become a growing public health concern. Low physical activity, sedentary lifestyles, more ready-to-eat and processed foods being picked from the market shelves, less cooking and preparation time, increased incidences of skipping meals and consumption of more refined flour, sugar and fat based foods, have all collectively caused disturbances to metabolism and added several pounds to the present generations.
With weight gain, elevated blood sugar and blood pressure levels, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases are as well gaining foothold into our lives. Metabolic syndromes have also become common. As per the National Center of Health Statistics in 2009, the incidence of obesity has doubled since the 1970s. Even though Ogden and co-authors reported through their 2014 study that the prevalence of obesity has plateaued since then, obesity continues to be a leading public health concern in the United States. Hence, incorporating practical and simple habits and diet and lifestyle alterations into one’s daily routine can prove beneficial in reducing one’s weight and decreasing the risk for several other potential disorders.
10 simple tips to lose weight:
Regular weight monitoring is very important. A food diary or a daily diet recall can help analyze the changes in caloric intake one must make to lose weight. Carefully reading the food label is important to understand the right food options for each individual and so that the consumer does not get carried away with misleading marketing claims. Consulting a nutritionist can help analyze the daily caloric intake that is recommended and the methods that can be adopted to adhere to the particular caloric framework so as to promote a healthy and speedy weight loss.
