How to Prevent Obesity: 5 Tips for Women
Obesity is a problem which became popular these days. It has affected number of women in the country as they become older and facing lot of problems due to this. The effect of obesity may implicate problems like heart blood pressure, diabetes, heart problem, stroke, etc.
Obviously, it is important for women to prevent obesity. If you have no idea obout this subject, here are 5 simple tips to prevent obesity.
1. Dietary Health Education
This is paramount, as many people don’t understand what their favorite foods contain, good or bad. Nor do they have a clear idea of recommended maximum levels of daily consumption regarding such ingredients as saturated fats, sodium (salt), sugars etc.
Maintaining a stable weight is a balance between what you eat and what you do. If we look at the daily energy value consumed, say 2000 calories and balance that against the energy you burn over the same period, it should be equal to maintain your current weight. Eating more food for the same level of activity will produce a weight gain. If you consume less than required, you will lose weight. I’ve kept this simple to illustrate the point, but that’s the general rule.
2. Banning Ingredients
It is the responsibility of food and drugs administrations around the world to police the contents of your food. Clearly most toxic ingredients are eliminated from the food chain. Thinks like heavy metals, dioxin, and pesticide levels are monitored to keep you safe from such industrial pollutants.
Some potentially harmful ingredients however, are introduced into the food chain to aid production or increase profits. One such ingredient used is partially hydrogenated fat (trans fat). Apart from the cost benefit it was originally considered to be a less harmful alternative to saturated fats and was approved for human consumption by many food administrations.
Medical research later linked the consumption of trans fats with a huge increase in coronary heart disease. In 1994 it was estimated that trans fats were responsible for 30,000 heart related deaths annually in the US.
3. Limiting Ingredients
The introduction of recommended daily allowance (RDA) for certain potentially harmful ingredients is a welcome step forward, but can be confusing to the busy shopper. Some food manufacturers have issued “traffic light” packaging as a guide, with green being the healthiest and red the least health options.
Whatever the system used, it needs to be clear and simple to guide the busy shopper away from the more harmful ingredients, such as saturated fats, salt and sugar and steer them towards high fiber complex carbohydrate and good fats.
4. Campaign
Campaigns by concerned individuals and pressure groups are often successful in the longer term. The process of making the public aware of the actions of some manufacturers and retailers has a beneficial effect if it begins to hit their profitability. Medical pressure groups have a great moderating influence due to their in-depth research into the long-term effects of such ingredients and they can produce detailed data when required.
5. Incentives
Some fast food establishments are introducing healthy option food incentives, which are to be commended, as long as they really are healthy and it’s not a case of replacing saturated fats with sugars. Fresh fruit salads instead of “going large” would be a great step forward.
I hope these tips help you to prevent obesity.
