Weight loss – A tale of this century

In today’s world, where staying fit has almost become synonymous to hitting the gyms and staying in a healthy diet, losing weight has become a major phenomenon and a must-achieve objective among the mass of twenty-first century. We will see here how weight-loss can be beneficial, or how to carry on with it, and how does it really make us better and fitter people, both physically and mentally.

To start with, we will first see the advantages of weight loss. We all know that therapeutic weight loss, in individuals who are overweight or obese, can decrease the likelihood of developing diseases such as diabetes, heart diseases, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis and other diseases. Attention to diet and a healthy lifestyle in particular can be beneficial for reducing the chances of heart attacks in an obese individual. Also, losing weight means your blood pressure also decreases which makes sure that one is out of any cardiovascular disease.

Now that we know that how essential it is, we will now see how we actually make it happen. Most of us tend to think only a habit of exercise or reducing our food habit can make us lose weight. But that’s only partially true. Weight loss is a combined effort of doing exercise, having a balanced diet, drinking sufficient water, a good walking habit and preferably doing yoga skipping the afternoon television serial. As far as the food is concerned, oatmeal, brown rice, beans, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers etc. should be consumed more often and in a balanced way.

The golden rule in weight loss is to avoid foods that are high in sugar, which contribute to increased body mass, and are detrimental to overall health. Further, weight gain has been long associated with disproportionate alcohol consumption. Depression, stress or boredom is also associated with increase of weight. A recent study has found that dieters who got a full night’s sleep, more than doubled the amount of fat loss compared to sleep deprived dieters.


So, to conclude, we must say that losing weight is not just a one-time job and in order to stay fit one must continue his/her exercise, diet and other routines regularly. It’s all in the mentality of the person that carries him/her through. So let’s join hands in order to make this world free of obesity and make it full of better and fitter people full of energy and enthusiasm.



(Wondering what's wrong with my head that I'm writing these stuff in here? Well, I have started content writing and this one is my first sample article which I have sent to the 'Adssoft Internet Marketing', so thought about posting it here. Money is a concern, which is an obvious...but what is more, is that engagement with something is really important right now. So, for now fingers crossed for the ADS group to pick me as a content writer. If all goes well, I might end up having money in my account just by writing things that hardly matters. Yeah, well...for me atleast.)
