Obesity and beauty do not go together. It is difficult to look beautiful with bulges in the wrong places. Excess weaight affects the face and figure. It also shakes one's self confidence. Pride in one's appearance plays an important part in being beautiful.
Obesity is also serious health hazard as the extra fat puts a strain on the heart, kidneys and liver, as well as on the large weight-bearing joints such as the hips, knees and ankles. This ultimately shortens the life span. It has been rightly said, 'the longer the belt, the shorter the life'. Overweight persons are suceptible to several diseases like coronary thrombosis, heart failure, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, gout, liver and gallbladder disorders. Trimming your figure is, therefore, necessary for the sake of both goods looks and health.
The chief cause of obesity, most often, is overeating that is, the intake of calories beyond the body's energy requirment. Some persons are in the habit of eating much, while others may be in the habit of consuming high calorie foods. These persons gain weight continuously as they fail to adjust their appetite to reduced energy requirments. There has, in recent times, been an increasing awareness of the psychological aspects of abesity. Persons who are generally unhappy, lonely or unloved and those who are discontented with their families, or social or financial standing. usually take solace in over-eating.
Obesity is sometimes also the result of disturbances of the thyroid or pituitary gland. But grandular disorders account for only about two per cent of the total incidence of obesity. In such persons the metabolism rate is low and they keep gaining weight unless they take a low calorie diet.
