Obesity, which is becoming an epidemic all over the world and in our country, means that the amount and distribution of fat in our body has increased enough to affect our health. When you think of being obese, the first thing that comes to your mind is not just eating too much, but actually a disease that threatens your health. Whatever the underlying reason is, sedentary life, irregular nutrition, metabolic diseases, family habits, genetic transfers, subconscious traumas, etc. As such, the result has reached such a serious level that we cannot ignore it. Currently, one in every three people in our country is obese. In other words, he cannot move comfortably, he cannot wear the things he wants, he has diabetes, blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, so he probably uses many medications and cannot raise his standard of living due to his medication use and illnesses. You can see the vicious circle, right? Breaking this vicious circle is both very difficult and very easy. First of all, based on my years of clinical experience, no drug you take from outside will secrete the necessary substances in the tremendous timing and dose that your own body provides. No supplement you take from outside will do any good on its own. First of all, your nutrition, every bite you put in your mouth is healing, you should look at it from that perspective, your stomach is not a garbage container, you should be aware of this, you should know the content of every food you eat. Because you are actually what you eat, with its vitamins, nutritional value and even energy. And movement.. A must. Your body is a machine programmed to move. Why are you letting it rot in front of the TV and PC? Why are you not doing any maintenance and watching it rust? Is it enough? Of course not, because even if everything works perfectly, if you are not grateful in your mind, that is, if you are not actually happy, it is all in vain, right? You know what you eat, what you drink, what you sleep, you know what you talk about. This is exactly why I say that health is a whole, the human being is a bio-psycho-social being. How can a person progress in society without making peace with physical and mental health?
So, are you obese?
According to fat percentage; If the fat percentage is over 30% in women and over 25% in men, home you are obese! But we don't look at your fat percentage alone. Rather than the total amount of fat in the body, the area and distribution of fat in the body are important to us. Because the area and distribution of fat in the body is directly related to the emergence of diseases. Regional fat distribution differs genetically between men and women. In android type (male type) obesity, fat accumulates in the upper part of the body (apple type) in the waist, upper abdomen and chest, and under the skin. In gynoid type (female type) obesity, fat accumulates in the lower part of the body (pear type) under the hips, thighs, legs and skin. According to the World Health Organization, if the waist/hip ratio is more than 0.85 in women and more than 1.0 in men, android type obesity It is accepted as. Although waist/hip ratio is used to determine this distribution, waist circumference measurement alone is used as an important and practical indicator in the distribution of fat in the abdominal area and deterioration of health. So, if your waist circumference is over 80 for women or 94 for men, I recommend you to see your doctor immediately.
Stay with love and health, Don't forget to add movement to your life!
