Medical Video: Why Am I Still Fat?
Fat people are predicted to have a higher risk of various chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and kidney disease. Even though it has become an open secret for everyone, still more and more people are getting fat. Why are there more and more fat people now?
Why are more and more fat people?
Obesity or obesity is arguably an 'infectious' disease in the world. Indeed, unlike infectious diseases that can be transmitted easily through intermediaries such as air, obesity is a 'contagious' disease due to the increasing number of people who do not care about what they eat, how they eat, and do not think about when they should exercise.
Without realizing it, an unhealthy and sedentary lifestyle is adopted by many people. No longer adults, even small children range from obesity. Most of them do not realize or even deny that they are fat.
Do not believe? Just be honest, how often do you honestly say your current weight scale when asked by someone else. If the answer is rare, then you are among those who deny that you are fat. This denial makes you even less aware of your current condition.
What causes obese people not to realize he is overweight?
Various studies that examined obesity and excess body weight found that many research participants were not aware that they were experiencing overweight or obesity.
Some of them stated that they did not feel there was anything strange or problematic about their body image. Some of them become obese due to their poor lifestyle, then people around them do not mind their size at the time, so they do not consider fat to be a problem.
As a result, they are fat to adulthood and do not realize that they are at high risk for chronic diseases. While few of them do not have the knowledge of obesity at all, so do not know if he is fat.
How do we avoid obesity that is not realized?
Having a fat body, is certainly not good for your body and mental health. Without your realizing it, your body's functions will change as more fat accumulates in it. Therefore, you must continue to monitor and measure your weight scale and waist circumference.
MWhy is weight weighing important? Because, so you will know the changes in your weight so far. Even a study has mentioned that people who weigh every day experience more and faster weight loss than those who don't. Of course this will make you aware of your current nutritional status - by calculating your body mass index.
In addition, you can use waist circumference to predict how much fat accumulates in the body. Although fat is stacked in various parts of the body, one of the main storage is in the abdomen and waist. When your waist is more than 88 cm (female) or 102 cm (male), this indicates that you are obese and have a high risk of experiencing chronic diseases.
