Overweight
The problem of excess weight is one of the most common contemporary problems that men, women, and even adolescents, male and female, suffer from. It causes many health problems and gives an inappropriate appearance. The areas of the body that are most vulnerable to excess weight are the buttocks and abdomen. Their size doubles as a result of the continuous accumulation of fat, due to several reasons.
Obesity causes
- Eating fatty meals in large quantities.
- Drink soft drinks and juices containing preservatives instead of water.
- Eating large amounts of sweets.
- Eat vegetables and fruits in small quantities.
- Not exercising continuously.
- Eat more than three meals per day.
- Eating pastries and white bread is considered one of the most important causes of obesity.
- Women do not lose weight after pregnancy.
Wrong methods of dieting
- The person sets a sudden nutritional program without consulting nutrition experts. This program is based on depriving oneself of food throughout the day, and thus the body becomes unable to perform its required functions as a result of the severe lack of complete nutrients that nourish the body and that cannot be dispensed with.
- Exercising incorrectly; Many people go out in the morning to exercise for a long time, and when they return home they do not eat breakfast, which is considered the most important of the three meals, which compensates the body as a result of the exerted effort, which provides it with the necessary energy, gives it activity and vitality, and renews its cells and tissues so that it is able to perform all its functions without fatigue.
- They eat one large, fatty meal on a daily basis because they believe that one meal full of saturated fats will be enough to reduce weight, which is a false belief. So the body is starved throughout the day and deprived of essential nutritional elements, then the digestive system is shocked by them, as it is unable to analyze and digest them well, and thus weight increases, and eating a fatty meal is also considered dangerous to health; Such as heart and arterial health, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, digestive system problems, and many other risks.
- Deprivation of eating all meals and only eating salads; The body needs all nutrients, such as meat of all kinds, dairy, cheese, eggs, milk, rice, etc. Therefore, it is advised not to adopt this method to lose weight.
Ways to achieve the ideal healthy weight
- Do jogging or walking in the early morning hours, which is considered one of the most appropriate and healthy times for the body.
- Half an hour after exercising, breakfast is eaten, consisting of: an egg, a cup of milk, half a loaf of wheat bread, thyme with olive oil, a peeled cucumber, and a tomato. Thus, the body becomes active, and its cells and tissues are renewed, and thus it helps burn harmful fats. Through this meal, the body shape will become harmonious. The muscles gained their proper shape and harmful fats left the body.
- Eat lunch regularly by gradually reducing the portion of food and eating meat in a small amount, preferably replacing it with fish.
- Avoid drinking water during three meals because it increases the size of the abdomen significantly. Many believe that drinking large amounts of water while eating reduces the ability to devour food. Of course, this is a wrong belief because the abdomen noticeably swells and increases the expansion of the stomach, and thus the amounts of food eaten become larger. It also digests food faster, causing rapid hunger and eating another meal.
- Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits two hours before bed and skip dinner. Fruits and vegetables are very effective in burning fat.
- Refrain from eating fast food, reduce the amount of pastries, and avoid drinking soft drinks.
- There are many natural herbs that reduce weight, but they must be taken in moderate quantities. Among them, we mention the herbs that are considered the most important in weight loss:
- Cinnamon strengthens the blood, burns fat, protects the heart and prevents atherosclerosis. It also greatly controls blood sugar levels, and it is recommended to eat it when eating a heavy meal or before eating sweets.
- Green tea drink with ginger, which helps burn fat effectively and significantly.
- Eat boiled cabbage leaves; Where cabbage leaves are boiled with an amount of water, a small amount of ground cumin is placed on them, then two cups of this water are drunk.
