The Importance of Weight Control

1. What is overweight? 

Being overweight is the leading cause of physical disorders that cause death. For example, some physical disorders that can occur from being over weight are diabetes, cerebral disease, respiratory problems, hypertension, heart problem, kidney problems, circulatory problems, joint problems, and so on. The majority of people dying from these ailments contracted them from being overweight or obese.

Diet

In order to maximize weight loss results, you must follow the correct diet. There are many people who try to lose weight by starving themselves, but I do not recommend this method to lose weight because starving yourself as a diet will cause you to gain the weight right back after you begin to eat again, and it will may cause severe harm to the person. The proper diet involves knowing the proper food groups and developing good eating habits. A good eating habit, for example, fat will develop from eating carbohydrates and meat together in the same meal, which is not good. Therefore if you eat carbohydrates, just eat those without mixing it with meat. Also, if you eat meat, do not mix it with carbohydrates at the same time. Mixing the two will cause fat to develop. 

Sprint Exercise: Burns carbohydrates. Running fast will burn carbohydrates, but not fat.

Low Impact Exercise: Burns fat. Slow, lingering exercises will burn fat.

Because we are living a sedentary lifestyle, there are many people that have a problem controlling their weight. Gaining weight is not only an outer concern but also a health concern.. If one is to gain weight this can cause current and future health problems such as diabetes, stroke, hypertension, etc.. In order to control your weight one must know the proper way to maintain it. Now I will explain the proper way to control your weight and the correct treatment for weight maintenance.

The first root of weight management requires a proper diet. This diet requires five major elements:

  • Exercise with high oxygen intake.  Maintenance and a continuous program of (low impact exercises and stretches.  All integrated with the drinking of teas.  
  • Proper meditation and promoting brain activity.
  • Take a hot bath for 20 minutes a day.  However, if you have hypertension you should avoid this recommendation.  
  • Dan Jun abdominal breathing exercises.  
  • Proper diet.  Replace heavy dinners with citrus fruits.

If you desire to lose weight quickly, there is herbal formula to help increase metabolism and to burn the calories quickly.  These herbal formulas will also help control the appetite and lose weight. Consult OHTC Health Care System for further information regarding herbal formulas.

A high oxygen intake exercise is something requiring endurance.  This exercise involves any type motion which requires energy to burn. There are some exercises which require the burning of oxygen and some that do not.   Exercise can be divided into two types: oxygen and non-oxygen exercise. Oxygen exercise requires the burning off three nutrients which include carbohydrates, protein and albumin. Non-oxygen exercise does not require the use of protein energy, even if the body burns a lot of calories. Therefore,  in order to lose and burn protein you must use oxygen exercise. 

There are two types of exercise that can define oxygen and non-oxygen.  "Sprint" exercises are referred to as non-oxygen exercises. This involves anything that is short in duration. Usually, elements that make up energy mix with oxygen and create energy. This energy will be burned in certain period of time. Any short duration exercise does not have enough time to burn calories. Endurance exercises, because of the greater time length, require the use of energy. Walking, mountain climbing, swimming and other low impact exercises are referred to as oxygen energy exercise. Furthermore, in order to develop a protein burning exercise, do not use movements that are short in duration.  

If an exercise exceeds more than 20 min., fat will begin to burn.  After 30 minutes, any stored protein will begin to burn.  Non-oxygen exercises usually do not exceed 20 minutes necessary to reach the point needed to burn fat.  This exercise should  be a full body exercise.  The human body does not allow protein to become energy directly.  Protein requires substances such as acid to break protein down into acids.  By this time, the protein acid becomes energy. This breaking down process will happen within the blood stream. There is no way for only a certain part of the body to loose proteins because it is included in the blood. Different exercises are required to lose different areas of fat. In order to accelerate the result, it is much better to perform exercise on an empty stomach. Therefore, in order to maximize the loss of weight, always exercise before a meal or 2 to 3 hours after the meal is eaten. Maximize protein loss using "sprint" exercises and the beginning and end of the exercise routine. 

The Human body begins to burn the calories when the temperature escalates.  Even if the temperature escalates one degree, fat will burn.   Therefore if one gets sick with flu and fever, one begins to lose weight. Stretching regularly and using a hot bath on a regular basis promotes good weight control. Also, keep the mind active.  If the mind is not active then the body will not use energy.  If the mind is active then the body will burn calories. Avoid excessive protein intake and change to vegetable, carbohydrates and fruits.  Use caution if the patient suffers from diabetes and always consult with your doctor.  This diet increases the diabetics risk due to the amount of glucose in the fruit. The next step involves acidic food which will burn protein.  Therefore, one meal a day, especially for dinner, should fill the stomach with acidic food so you won’t become hungry. If you are looking to professionally lose weight, eastern medicine is very effective.  It controls the appetite and indulgences.  The body is less hungry and it also creates a high metabolism which results in quicker calories burn.  .

Diet has to change according to age, because while we grow up we need lot of calories, but when the body is fully grown, it doesn’t need calories as much. Exercise is the same way. According to the age, exercise must modify to fit the individuals condition, if the person ignores his or her individual condition, they may harm themselves. 

  • Twenty to thirty years old exercise is basically a big range, because you can do a lot of different exercises, however it is recommended to only do exercise 20 or 30 min. 2 to 3 times a week, jogging, or certain muscle exercise. 
  • At the age of 30, the body enters a stagnate condition, therefore you have to be careful with exercise, a lot of adult diseases come from these ages, form high stress, lack of exercise, lack of proper diet. So this age requires 1 or 2 times exercise 20 min. each time. After that it varies. 
  • In the 40's, rapidly declining health due to stress and adult disease requires expert advice, just exercise of walking will be recommendable, as it benefits people of all ages. 
  • In the 50's and 60's, people should avoid perspiration exercises and get advice from expert.
