Women in their twenties are gaining five
kilos more than they did eight years back.
The new research has prompted health
experts to warn women mainly in United States and Australia
to stay away from fatty foods. Lack of physical activity
and lengthy hours of TV viewing are the additional factors
contributing to this unhealthy trend. Health experts
found working women to be more healthy and fit as they
adhered to regular eating hours and was active at work.
But there was also a group of women who struggled to
manage work and family to find time for basic exercises.
Stressful life encouraged them to eat more and put on
evitable weight.
Women in their mid thirties too were sharing the same
weight problem as that of the younger women. Found to
be least bothered about health and fitness, women resorted
to rapid weight loss plans without proper diet therapy
or behavior modification. This resulted in women gaining
more kilos once they came of the 8 week weight loss
therapy.
In the recent times Obesity threat has caught up so
much that schools, health institutions, and work places
are all pondering on ways to tackle it.
As soon as the alarming childhood obesity
rates came out in public, health departments requested
schools to cut down on vending machines supplying sodas
and selling meals like cheese burgers or fries. One
of the main reasons of this obesity uproar is the poor
dietary habits which parents follow at home. Working
women lack the time to prepare food at home and end
up buying fast food meals which are calorie rich. Children
learn from them and apply the same principle in their
lives.
Many workshops and health awareness programs have been
conducted for women as well as the general population.
Governments of various countries are taking an upper
hand in aiding such awareness motives in order to contain
the life endangering Obesity epidemic. It’s high
time we wake up and glimpse at the health risks related
to the epidemic. You don’t have to do too much,
but spend a little time of your day working out to keep
fit. Changes in your lifestyle and food patterns will
be an added advantage. Don’t take this disorder
too lightly but go forward and attend an awareness program
to know how obesity can cripple your life.
