According to doctors to grow, prone to obesity, and if not continue to grow. In fact, obesity in children can cause liver problems, diabetes and hypertension.Obesity may become endemic, especially in the age groups of children. All this is due to poor diet and lazy to exercise at a young age, but both have an important role in improving the disturbance of the heart and blood vessels from the age of 20 to 40 years.

Measuring Body Fat
Not easy to measure a person’s body fat. The following methods require special equipment and conducted by trained personnel:
• Underwater Weight, weight measurements performed in water and then body fat is calculated based on the amount of water remaining.
• BOD POD is an egg-shaped room that has been computerized. Once a person enters BOD POD, the remaining amount of air used to measure body fat.
• DEXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry), resembling bone skening. X-rays are used to determine the number and location of body fat.
Two ways is more simple and not complicated:
1. Term skin, skin fold thickness in several parts of the body is measured by term (a metal tool resembling a forceps).
2. Bioelectric impedance analysis (analysis bioelektrik prisoners), the patient stand on a special scale and number of electric current flowed harmless to the body and then analyzed. Examination can give inaccurate results if not done by experts.

Body Mass Index (BMI):
BMI is a measurement that connects (compare) with high weight loss. BMI is a mathematical formula where the weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in meters) square. Someone said if you are obese have a BMI value of 30 or more.

Handling
Restricted calorie intake and increasing physical activity is the most important component in weight management. Both these components are also important in maintaining weight after weight loss. Must be a change in the pattern of physical activity and begin to live a healthy eating habits.
First step in treating obesity is to assess the patient’s body fat and health risks in a way to calculate BMI. Health risks associated with obesity will increase with the increase in BMI:

2. Medium risk: BMI 27-30
3. High Risk: BMI 30-35
4. Very high risk: BMI 35-40
5. Very very high risk: BMI of 40 or more.
The type and weight training and calorie restriction on the amount each person differently and given medication tailored to the circumstances of the patient.
1. Patients with low health risk, the diet was (1200-1500 calories / day for women, 1400-2000 calories / day for men) along with sports.
2. Patients with high health risk, low-calorie diet (800-1200 calories / day for women, 1000-1400 calories / day for men) with exercise.
3. Patients with high health risk or very high, get an anti-obesity drug with a low-calorie diet and exercise.
Choosing a weight-loss program is safe and successful. The elements that must be considered in choosing a weight-loss program:

Eating Fast Makes Us Obese

“Eat slowly and chew each bite 20 times,” promulgating the popular saying.

A study conducted in Japan with 3287 individuals between 30 and 69 years of age, who were questioned about their eating habits with an emphasis on speed of eating, shows that it is true that fast food is fattening and does not help us achieve a balanced diet in our lives.

Formerly, Fat is Beautiful

a4In the past, many cultures, fat is beautiful. In some communities, where the interior of Irian Jaya, or in the village of Nigeria, women gain weight even seem more appealing. It is expected that excess fat in the buttocks to see at steatopygy condition.

Some tribes and the Ministry of Interior on the best food for the young woman approaching the age at marriage. Greatest stomach produces the most popular girl. This happened in the past, before man knew that farming and supermarkets. Food hunting and exploring, but how to grow and maintain.

At that time the shortage is bad and is a good fat. To keep body fat to our ancestors to survive as a proverbial haystack bring their own food, because the oils are pure energy reserves.

But now, most people especially women lamented the added advantage that, as written by the editors of the books of the health magazine “prevention” in the female body, especially when facing the media in the world with super models Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss and Claudia Schiffer. View the suspension body is presented as “ideal”, often makes women feel very close definsi success.

A little more “trick” a television show or a measure of beauty, big, tall white, female, sexy create beauty industry, then I feel the impact on public perception that fat people often pushed to edge and have no place in social interaction. His life was very sad sometimes romantic. Diceriterakan as a woman in the newspaper Kompas following tips:

“I was fat and weight 64 kg, height 154 cm. When a girl in my fruiting body is hard to find a partner. It’s a big girl like me is not fair and not worthy to be loved love, or love the opposite sex? had, in fact, because I already have a high school “supporters.” We were in school, there were many sacrifices for it. I type a document and its duties and often accompanied him to work in the laboratory , but these prostitutes, after graduation, through the secretary was close.

Whatever the initiative in creating the conditions for the poor, as the story of an obese woman at the helm. What was the image of television as an obese person that objects used not only worthy, funny jokes, the results on the treatment and social acceptance of fat people.

Or the beauty industry who error control and make the public through the media that shape public discourse, which is beautiful, beautiful woman whose body was thin, white skin and feminine.

Or is that the concept of average obese people themselves and the body, for example, believe they could file a complaint with the fat that insecurity, desperately making, social interaction and isolation. And the fact that during the filming of “” and was named by the media.

Reduce Calories Helps You To Control Your Appetite

Definition of smart eating is not to reduce food portions, but choose foods that are lower calorie size. For example, Martin says, fruits, vegetables, soups, and processed low-fat milk. “Every bite of these foods will enter into the body with a mini-dose of calories.”
Although mini calories, based on clinical studies done, these foods can withstand hunger comes more quickly, which means, we will have a duration longer satisfied. Martin interested in doing this research, because many diet methods that only emphasizes the reduction of calories that lead to a reduction in meal portions. “That is why, science must turn its bow perdietan to choose mini-calorie foods properly,” he said, mentioning his research was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Martin studied 71 obese women aged 22 to 60 years. They were then divided into two groups. The first group is the group that reducing fat consumption while the second group not only reduce fat but also eating foods that are high water content.
Observations made during the year and that both groups showed a significant perbendaan. For groups that choose foods with high water content or mini calories, it has decreased drastically weight within 6 months. No half-hearted, decline to 9 kg whereas those who only reduced fat as much as 7 kg. Even if we add the tricks to reduce fat intake, then the road to be flat stomach 25 percent faster.

Beware of Obesity in Infants

Fast  rise: rapid weight increase in the first six months after the birth of a baby tends to obese as toddlers
Baby fat fast is not necessarily healthy. Even the parents should watch. The babies who have rapid weight gain during the first six months after birth is very susceptible to obesity when in infancy, according to a report of a Harvard study.

“We need to start a prevention method when the children were very young,” said study author Dr. Elsie M Taveras. “Even in a few weeks after birth, we can give guidance to parents to prevent weight gain quickly on their babies,” he added

In previous similar research, has found a link between birth weight infants with obesity, but the influence of other factors such as duration of pregnancy, maternal height and maternal lifestyle often not considered.

Harvard researchers to track 559 children who become participants Project Viva, a study going on pregnant women and their children. The babies born then measured their weight and height, and then measured again at 6-month-old baby, and again at 3 years.

Once include other factors such as the baby’s body length, the researchers found that if the baby has a body mass index increased during the first six months tend to be experienced or even obesity can be classified as age 3 years.

“Currently, most guidelines recommend surrounding the treatment of obesity we begin the examination and treatment of children when they entered the age of 2 years,” said Elsie. “But with the discovery that prevention and treatment should be done even as early as possible,” he added.

According to the National Institutes of Health, the U.S., approximately one third of adults in Uncle Sam’s considered obese. Ten to fifty percent of obese people tend to die with all the causes of health problems. In 2000, the epidemic of obesity cost the U.S. health care system up to 117 billion U.S. dollars.

“The key indication for this study is the importance of better education about infant intake,” said Connie Diekman, director of the Nutrition Division, Washington University, St. Louis. “Because the study did not examine what the food given to infants after breastfeeding, it is difficult to know if the gift becomes the cause of excessive intake,” said Connie.

To be effective, could be required only small changes simple. In Germany, a fountain was placed in 32 schools located in poor areas of two German cities. The teacher then presented the four teaching the kids class and class.

The study found that students attending these schools, about 31 percent have less risk of obesity than students who attend school in a place that does not teach about the water.

“The researchers themselves state that we need research on the care and infant relationships or bonds, because other studies have shown that lack of bonding during feeding, the baby will automatically change what they eat,” said Connie.

“In addition, the findings need to be removed and dubious studies should be repeated to see whether excessive weight gain during pregnancy is also a factor,” added Connie.

“Our research did provoke a lot of new questions, why the rapid increase baby’s weight can lead to obesity later in life,” said Elsie. “Therefore we need further research to identify factors that explain this regard,” he said
