What is the definition of overweight? There are several indicators that will tell you if you are overweight. BMI (Body mass index) is the most commonly used indicator. BMI (Body Mass Index), a statistical measure that measures a person’s “fitness” based on their weight and height, is the most commonly used indicator. Your Body Mass Index (BMI), is calculated by multiplying your weight in kilograms and your height in meters squared. Ideal Body Mass Index is between 18.5 to 25. A BMI between 25.9 and 29.9 indicates that you are overweight. A BMI greater than 30 is considered obese. Use the free resource provided at the end to calculate your BMI.

Obesity
Obesity can pose a serious health risk as extra fat can put strain on the liver, heart, and kidneys. This extra weight also places additional weight on large weight bearing joints like the hips, knees, ankles, and knees. Fatness occurs when your body requires more food than it can eat. Fat children often have fat parents. People who are happy and cheerful tend to be overweight. Glandular disorders can also make you fat, e.g. Any disturbance of the pituitary gland or thyroid gland can lead to a decrease in your basic metabolic rate. People can control their weight by paying more attention to what they eat. It is better to lose 4.4 to 6.6 pounds, or 2 to 3kgs per month, than to lose weight dramatically. This means that you will need to reduce your daily food intake by 500 calories. It is possible to do this easily.
- You can reduce calories-rich foods like sugar & fats.
- Vegetables can be eaten as is, providing satisfaction and bulk without adding too many calories. They are also rich in vitamins and minerals. Fry vegetables are not recommended. Bake or boil them.
- You can also get many micronutrients from green leafy vegetables without having to eat extra calories.
- If you have high blood pressure, avoid salt.
- You can lose weight and get fit by exercising. Walking is a great exercise that can be done at any time and without any effort. One banana provides the energy needed to walk for an hour. If you are trying to lose weight, it may be easier to eat one banana. Some yogic asanas can also be helpful. They not only help to break up fatty deposits and re-distribute them, but also strengthen flabby regions. These asana are Bhujangasana (Chakrasana), vajrasana (Vajrasana), yogamudra (Yogamudra). You may not notice a weight loss when you first start dieting. This is because tissues that are used up often get filled with fluids and water. Keep at it, and you’ll win.
Overweight Children
The United States has been ranked the most overweight country in the world by the Office on the USSurgeon General. Even though we are the most overweight country on the planet, this is not something we want to win. Overweight is a killer. It is simply a excessive amount of body fat. It is important to remember that obesity and overweight are not the same thing. An overweight person will weigh a lot more than someone who is obese. This excess fat isn’t digested or metabolized. It simply sits there, on your hips and waistline, and in your middle chest.
Obesity is referred to as a metabolic disorder in medicine. This is because obese people have difficulty losing extra fat. They also have a slower metabolism than those who are not obese. The main point to remember is that excess fat in the central region of your abdomen can cause problems for your internal organs. It is also known as “belly excess weight” and can lead to insulin resistance and subsequent diabetes. It is more common in women, especially Hispanics and African Americans. It is a genetic condition, meaning that people with a low metabolism often have it in their families.
Metabolism
Obesity is caused by a low metabolism, insufficient physical activity, and eating high amounts of fat and calories. Fats are not as effective at triggering the “stop eating!” response as carbohydrates and protein. The more fat you eat, you will eat more. Alcohol consumption can contribute to obesity. All types of food-grade alcohol are higher in calories. Due to alcohol being most commonly consumed with meals, consuming a dinner of cheese fettucine with half a bottle of wine will result in a significantly higher caloric intake. Overweight can lead to mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.
The progression of obesity can be affected by social and environmental factors. The Italian culture is linked to the cheese fettucine dish, which is rich in cheese and butter. This dish is often referred to by health care professionals as a “heart attack” on a plate. It doesn’t matter if you are of Italian heritage. People who were overweight as children are more likely to become obese adults. Women who are menopausal have a higher risk of becoming obese. Prescription medicines can have side effects such as a decreased metabolism, increased appetite, and worsening of the health problems associated with obesity.
