Fighting Body Fats

FIGHTING BODY FATS

Accumulation of excessive body fats is seen as problematic nowadays. This is the idea that is sweeping across the globe. People, especially women do a lot of crazy things in a bit to reduce body fats. This is why we now have training schools where people pay exorbitant
fees to get the body drilled through rigorous exercises, diet monitoring just to look fit.

The truth is that accumulation of body fats have a lot of consequences such as inactiveness in carrying out tasks, serious problems trying to find size of clothes and shoes in the market, breathing problems, shyness which is common among children and teenagers. Sometimes body odour, inability to walk or run long distances, high rate of heartbeat, reduces the immune system of the body to fight certain diseases and people sometimes see fat and obessed people as people who eat too much, lousy and care less about their diet, while to some people, it is excessive enjoyment.

Obesity, which is accumulation of body fats is sometimes inherited through genes from obessed parents or family members, this is natural. It is most often than not caused by the type and quantity of foods that go through the mouth to the stomach such as foods high in calories: too much of carbohydrates, fibres, fatty foods and junks from fast food joints such as ice cream, cake, burger, sealed foods and drinks etc. It can also be caused by inadequate exercises to actually match the volume of consumption of food we eat

GREAT TIPS TO REDUCING BODY FATS

·        Exercise- There are many great exercises to help burn body fats. These include participating in games such as football, volleyball, basketball, running, jogging and walking long distances. At home, you can also dance vigorously to music for about 30 minutes to 1 hour each, making use of exercising machines just to sweat and burn out calories from the body.

·        Change Eating Pattern. The secret to a good eating pattern is- ‘eat like a king in the morning, eat like a prince in the afternoon and eat like a slave at night’. This is because there is much bodily exercise during the day time which results in much body metabolism and breakdown of calories. Reduce the quality of your food by half especially for those who have problem with obesity. To actually control your eating pattern, you should avoid distractions when eating, think about your food while eating, eat slowly while chewing very well and taking sips of water between bites.

·        Go Natural than Artificial- stick to natural foods such as fruits and vegetables. You can purposely plant fruit trees around your home to augment the ones you buy. Trees such as Orange tree, cashew tree, mango tree, paw-paw tree, lemon tree are not so difficult to plant even though some of them actually take long time to grow. Feed on Vegetables such as Carrot, green leaf vegetables, fruit salad etc. they contain essential nutrients for body growth and development.

·        REDUCE FATTY FOODS AND EXCESS CABOHYDRATES- When fatty foods are eaten much, these fats go into the body and are stored under the skin which gives rise to Obesity. Examples of fatty foods include noodles, animal fat, and too much intake of groundnut oil. When serving carbohydrates, make it small. Eating them without corresponding exercises leads to accumulation of fat.

·        STOP OR REDUCE SUGARY FOODS/DRINKS- Most people who drink beer are likely to be diabetic. It may surprise you to know that sugary drinks can make one obese. Coca-cola, fanta, sprite, lacasera drinks are examples of sugary drinks. Carbohydrates too such as rice, yam potatoes, maize contains little amount of sugar. The way to reduce all these is by taking less sugary drinks, take herbs such as ‘agbo jedijedi’ as Yoruba people call it or wash bitter leaf thoroughly and extract the liquid and drink regularly. Stop adding too much sugar to your tea, pap, garri, etc before taking.

·     BE ACTIVE, ENGAGE IN MULTIFARIOUS ACTIVITIES. I have seen people who are too lazy to do small stuff. They need somebody to do virtually almost all what they themselves are supposed to do. Deliberately join others when they are working, do house chores, walk around rather than seat in one place. Even if you are in your office or work place, try to work around and get involved in activities, this way, you will be reducing the amount of calories in your body.0

·        USE HEALTHY SLIMMING TEAs. I have heard so many people saying it is dangerous to use slimming tea. The truth is that there are some healthy slimming teas that are even approved by NAFDAC. Examples are Tummy Fat reducing Tea, Healthy Hour Fat Burner, Slimfy, Garcinia Cambogia etc which are available in supermarkets and online shopping on Kaymu.

Finally, reducing body fat and obesity is a choice, but do not forget that being obese or overweight have certain implications that might be too difficult for us to handle. Therefore, it is important for us to do something about it.
