			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The exact meaning of flab is soft lose flesh on a person&#8217;s body. The difference between fat and flab is that the former is the cause and the latter is the effect. About a third of world&#8217;s population is obese and is actively searching for answers to the above mentioned question.</p>
<p>Flab does not happen overnight but over a period of time due to wrong life styles. We also should know that flab which took months or years to develop due to our food indulgence and lazy life will not disappear in days. Flab distorts our shape and appearance to make us ugly. Fat up to a limit is needed for the growth of our body but flab does not contribute towards our body&#8217;s growth.</p>
<p>The problem of modern times is not of scarcity of food but of overabundance. Foods provide energy for our bodies to function hence important for our survival. But overeating can also kill us as starvation does. The variety of foods available for consumption is endless and new ones are cropping up every day. Though these foods are very tasty and appeal to our palate,they are unhealthy and wreak havoc on our health.</p>
<p>The excess fat these foods provide is stored throughout our body mainly in the abdomen,waist,chest and thighs. We gladly allow the fat to get in but cry foul when it starts to distort our shape.Nowadays we live to eat not eat to live. The result is appearance of flab that creates loose hanging flabby skin allover our body distorting the body&#8217;s shape and making it ugly.</p>
<p>The reason for our flabby body is our sedentary life style. We spend long hours in front of computers,watching television lying on the sofa munching deep fried snacks that add fat to our body. We stuff energy foods into our stomach but do not allow our bodies to spend the energy these foods provide. We do not give work to our limbs and allow them to be idle. We have even stopped doing the basic act of locomotion, walking. The end result is that we get a flabby body.</p>
<p>Another reason is that we all have forgotten to relax and are always stressed out due to our fast pace of life. We want all the good things of life now and we are always trying to be one up on our neighbors and friends as far as modern gadgets and living conditions are concerned. We want to live in big mansions and have big cars not only for our comfort but also for flaunting purposes. We want our children to excel in their studies and pass our stress on to them by forcing them to do well. All these cause stress and may contribute to stress eating further aggravating the problem.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Perhaps one of the biggest issues around nowadays is weight loss. With obesity now being one of the biggest epidemics in North America, losing weight is not only about looking good, it&#8217;s also about staying healthy. We&#8217;ve all heard or watched the documentary Super Size Me, and heard of all the terms like BMI, pounds, diabetes, and more. But did you know that losing weight will also significantly improve your quality of life? But then you find out the bad news: it&#8217;s too expensive! You can&#8217;t afford it.</p>
<p>Out of all the different weight loss surgeries out there, without a doubt the safest and the one with the most advantages would be the adjustable gastric band. This is also known as the lapband. When you compare it with the other weight lost surgeries, it&#8217;s safe, effective, and minimally invasive. With this in mind, what exactly are the benefits of choosing lapband surgery over the other options?</p>
<p>First off, the lapband surgery is a proven procedure. Not only has it been performed worldwide, with over 400,000 surgeries performed, but numerous of clinic studies on its safety and efficacy has proven this.</p>
<p>Second, the band is designed to be adjustable. So you don&#8217;t need to have surgery again in order to adjust it; you can easily adjust the degree you want in your weight loss, depending on your circumstances. For example, if you get pregnant, it is quite simple to loosen the band until you are ready to start your weight loss again.</p>
<p>Third, this procedure is quite affordable. Depending on the clinic that you go to, there are a wide variety of financing programs. They may have an in-house financing program that is designed to keep the procedure as affordable as possible. With monthly payments less than a car, and a decent down payment, as long as you keep in mind that you are investing in your own long term health, financing the procedure is easy.</p>
<p>One major advantage over other surgeries with the lapband is it is completely reversible. If for some reason, you want to remove it, it is just another simple procedure. As no real alteration has been done on your stomach, your stomach would soon return to its original form, as if nothing happened. However, keep in mind that the band is intended to stay in there forever. Don&#8217;t worry though, it won&#8217;t affect your <a href="http://healthyliving4life.vox.com/" target="_blank">healthy living</a>.</p>
<p>For some, the cost of weight loss surgery seems prohibitive. But that is not true; weight loss surgery in many ways can be very important to your life. You just need to truly see it as that, and in fact, as an investment in yourself. Then you will see that it is not that expensive after all; this surgery has huge potential of changing your life completely.</p>
<p>You must remember one thing, and that is you are investing in yourself. If buying a car or a house is an investment, then this surgery is also. Those two things have monthly financing plans; it is fact that weight loss surgery also has such a plan. You only really need to make a down payment (the higher, the lower the monthly fees), and pay a monthly fee. If you happen to have a windfall, you can always make extra payments and reduce your monthly fees.</p>
<p>Shop around, as you should to find the best rates; some clinics may offer better monthly payments than others. Match it with the services that you want, some services you may want to cut out (such as extra seminars), and that may help reduce the cost. Ultimately though, remember that this is not a waste of money; you are investing in your self-esteem, your health, and your future. This investment will help you on your way to a new journey, and potentially a new life, a much higher quality of life.</p>
<p>The success behind <a href="http://healthyliving4life.vox.com/">healthy living</a> is the willingness to make necessary changes to your lifestyle choices. Whether you have to modify your dietary plans or reduce any bad habits, every action you take has a reaction to your overall health. Eat healthy. Live healthy. <a href="http://healthyliving4life.vox.com/">Be healthy</a>.</p>

This is the essential idea behind obesity.</p>
<p>Uncontrollable eating and fast food practices are the top motive why people turn out to be obese. With neither the time, nor the leaning to manage one’s meals, it’s no wonder people get fat all over the world. Combine that with an inactive way of life where most trips are taken by car and you got a health condition out of control.</p>
<p><strong>Genetics: </strong>Obesity can as well be inherited from family members who suffered from it. If your family has a history of obesity, then you would do well to watch your weight.</p>
<p><strong>Junk food: </strong>We are all busy, but this does not indicate that we have to consume all fast food restaurants put before you. Burgers may look good, but they are fat too highly powered got your health. The fact is, one burger is worth an entire meal in calories, but your body does not evaluate the situation this way. Your stomach will never be filled by a usual burger, so it will keep asking for more, in spite of the fact that your body does not require more burgers.</p>
<p><strong>Do you feel like giving up?</strong></p>
<p>Lots of people try diets and manage to lose a few pounds. But going back to the previous way of life and eating habits nearly always denotes that weight lost turns into weight regained. Furthermore, as diet follows diet, the body gets used to these “lean times” and makes it harder for you to lose weight.</p>
<p>Besides, following a diet for a longer period of time is not so easy, since you will constantly crave the forbidden foods. The reality that some delicious foods are not allowed makes them that much more attractive. A winning diet means adjusting your routine to your needs, in particular by making time for <a title="workout" href="http://fatlower.com/category/workout/">more exercising</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What is </strong><strong>obesity (adiposity)?</strong> First of all, this is a surplus of fat in the body. And secondly &#8211; is the presence of excess weight. Doctors around the world have warned that obesity can lead to hypertension, gallstone disease, myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus. The main cause of all obesity is an imbalance between the two factors: the food eaten and energy expended. Excess energy accumulates in the body and stored in it in the form of fat not only in <em>the thighs, belly and breast, legs, and in the area of physiological deposits.</em></p>
<p><strong>The circumstances that predispose to obesity are:</strong></p>
<p>* Dehydration</p>
<p>* A sedentary lifestyle (physical inactivity)</p>
<p>* Genetic factors, such as increased activity of enzymes of lipogenesis or reduced enzyme activity of lipolysis</p>
<p>* Drinking sugary drinks</p>
<p>* Diet, supersaturated with saccharides</p>
<p>* Constant sticking to various weight loss diets</p>
<p>* Some endocrine system disorders (hypothyroidism, hypogonadism, insulinoma)</p>
<p>* Malnutrition</p>
<p>* Frequent stress</p>
<p>* Chronic lack of sleep</p>
<p>* The use of psychotropic medications or hormonal</p>
<p>In an antiquity fatty people were considered as a sign of well-being. Look at, for example, the sculpture Venus of Willendorf which is dated 23 century B.C. This tells us, for example, a sculpture of Venus of Willendorf ( «Venus Uillendorfa&#8221;), which dates back to 23 centuries B.C.</p>
<p>Doctors classify obesity, dividing it into several types, <strong>the most dangerous of which is central obesity</strong>. Central obesity &#8211; excess fat adjournments in the abdominal area. This type of obesity is considered the most dangerous, because in connection with it suffers liver, pancreas, heart and vascular system. Patients with central obesity prone to diabetes, hypertension, heart attacks. If a patient ratio of waist to hip size above 0.9 (men above 1), then such a patient can be counted among the patients with central obesity.</p>
<p><strong>Central obesity is also called &#8220;belly&#8221;.</strong> This type of obesity, for unknown reasons, is very common among beer drinkers, however, are not uncommon and teetotalers owners of the beer belly. Often the cause of obesity can be diet, to reduce weight. This is due to the fact that our body, received less nutrients begins to store food on a &#8220;black day&#8221; in the form of adipose tissue in an attempt to reserve for future days of hunger a little energy. Therefore, we begin to gain weight rapidly after the end of the diet, and even turning over the original weight.</p>
<p><strong>Methods of medical treatment of obesity are reduced to three main groups:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1)</strong> Drug-free treatment of obesity, which adjusted the patient&#8217;s diet and increasing exercise.</p>
<p><strong>2)</strong> Medical method &#8211; in which the doctor prescribes medication to the patient, which reduce appetite and inhibit absorption by the body of the most caloric nutrients. In addition, drugs that normalize and restore hormonal background can be added.</p>
<p><strong>3)</strong> Surgical ways to get rid of obesity:</p>
<p>* Liposuction &#8211; the elimination of excess layers of fat under the skin in the &#8220;problem&#8221; areas;</p>
<p>* Enteroanastomoz  - operations on the intestines, which &#8220;turns off&#8221; from the process of digestion the small intestine;</p>
<p>* Ring for the stomach, through the imposition of which on the stomach, decreases its volume, and hence the rate of saturation;</p>
<p>* Abdominoplasty – the removal of a protruding or too big belly.</p>
<p>It is worth noting that in our time adiposity has taken the form of epidemic. 10-20% of the adult population in Europe are obese (with a body mass index above 30) and more than 25% &#8211; overweight with a BMI above 25. The figures prove that the higher standard of living, the more the population suffers from obesity. For example, in America, more than 34 million people suffer from obesity, while most were women (34% female population), slightly less than for men (31% males) and 25% of all are children under the age of 18 have such a diagnosis.</p>
<p>It is believed that such a sad state of affairs is due to the fact that many doctors do not consider obesity as a disease, and see in the presence of obesity the root cause &#8211; lack of discipline. But this is not always the case. And the problems of obesity should be treated just as an illness, treating not only the related diseases, but also the basic one &#8211; obesity.</p>
