Want to lose weight?[/caption]
Many people work towards losing weight, but it's vital to consider that it happens without affecting the body negatively and leading to a healthy body and lifestyle.
Weight loss means lowering the total body by a mean loss of fluid, body fat (adipose tissue) or lean mass (bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon and other connective tissue). There are numerous reasons for weight loss:
A) Malnourishment or an Underlying Disease
B) Obesity/Obese state.
Weight loss is primarily for obesity treatment, and it prevents progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes with a 7-10% weight loss.
It raises health risks, comprising diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NASH), to name a few. A 1-kg loss of body weight is directly proportional to a nearly 1-mm Hg drop in blood pressure.
Following are the ways to reduce weight loss:
- Cut on refined carbs: One way to reduce weight loss is to cut the sugar, starches and carbohydrates levels and replace them with whole grains.
- Don't sit at a particular place for long hours: For every 30 minutes spent sitting, stand or move around and stretch for nearly two minutes. ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) research reveals that moving more during the day, including 150 minutes per week of exercise, is vital to reduce one's risk of diseases and lose weight.
