Anorexia : harm from lose weight

 Anorexia : harm from lose weight

Today, many people are interest in having slim body. As you can see from media such as TV program and movies, actresses and actors are appeared on TV with their slim body. Audiences try to have slim body like them. When the audiences need to be thinner they think about it too much and find many ways to be thinner which lead them being one of the diseases known as “Anorexia”

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that makes people lose more weight than is considered healthy for their age and height. Persons with this disorder may have an intense fear of weight gain, even when they are underweight. They may diet or exercise too much or use other ways to lose weight.[1]

The factors are not obviously. I will show you some factors such as

Emotional Health and Society. About emotional, People with eating disorders have low self-esteem and too much stick to strict diets despite being hungry. They always think they are not thin enough. About Society, The modern cultural environment often cultivates and reinforces a desire for thinness. Success and worth are often equated with being thin in popular culture. Peer pressure and what people see in the media may fuel this desire to be thin, particularly among young women.

Some Physical Symptoms of Anorexia Nervosa include:

-Extreme weight loss

-Refusal to maintain body weight of at least 85% of normal expected weight

-Thin appearance

-Abnormal blood counts

-Treating Anorexia Nervosa

Ana Carolina Reston , 21 years old model, have died from Anorexia.
At the time of her death, Reston weighed just 40 kg (88 lbs) at a height of 1.73 m (5 ft 8 in), and had been hospitalized since October 25, 2006, for kidney malfunction due to anorexia nervosa andbulimia nervosa, which included a diet consisting only of apples and tomatoes. She had a body mass index (BMI) of only 13.4, well below the index value of 16 which the World Health Organization considers to be severe thinness. Her condition became more serious and deteriorated into generalized infection that led to her death at the age of 21.[2]

 However, Anorexia can heal by four components:

1. Restoring the person to a healthy weight

2. Treating the psychological issues related to the eating disorder

3. Reducing or eliminating behaviors or thoughts that lead to disordered eating

4. Preventing relapse. [3]

In my opinion, having slim body may come with balanced body include suite high and weight. The social value should pay attention to have healthy body more than thin body. Because it may kill somebody because of Anorexia.

Main cause of obesity in America and the solutions

Main cause of obesity in America and the solutions

Obesity is a term used to describe somebody who is very overweight with a high degree of body fat. The obesity epidemic has been a widely shown issue for years. Many American people of any age getting overweight or obese from many reasons. Here are the main reasons for obesity epidemic poor nutrition, lack of exercise; however, there are also many solutions that can be adjusted on an individual basis, through lifestyle changes.

First, let’s focus on what cause obesity?

Poor nutrition is a huge precursor to obesity. If our body is not getting the proper nutrients, it will begin to slow down, making it even harder to lose weight. Poor nutrition has become an increasing problem caused by the convenience of fast food restaurants.

Many Americans having fast food because they think they do not have much time for a good meal. But they do not realize that the foods from fast food restaurant are very high calories and low nutrition. On the other side, many people do not like to consume vegetables or fruits, which are very high nutrition.

Lack of exercise is another important reason related to the obesity. Many people have jobs that involve sitting at a desk most of the day. They also rely on their cars rather than walking or cycling. When their relaxing time, they tend to watch TV, surf on the internet or play computer games, and hardly ever take regular exercise. If you are not active enough, you do not use the energy provided by the food you eat and the extra calories are stored as fat instead.

As we already know about what cause obesity next I would like to focus on the solution for obesity.

1.     Individual Solutions

The U.S. Surgeon General recommends a nutritious diet that follows the "Dietary Guidelines for Americans" to prevent overweight and obesity. The Surgeon General also supports that adults should get 30 minutes of exercise and children should get a full hour. The easiest ways to get more physical exercise include taking the stairs instead of the elevator, for a short way should riding bicycle instead of car. Encourage children to play outside instead of watching TV or surfing internet. People should have more nutritious food instead of having junk food from fast food restaurant that has high calorie.

2.     Community Solutions

Communities should also focus to help prevent obesity. For example, the CDC recommends that communities make fresh fruit and vegetable stands available at workplaces instead of vending machines that carrying high-fat, empty-calories snacks. Nutritionist Isobel R. Contento reports on the success of programs that connect schools with local farms, which supply fresh produce for the school menu or stock cafeteria salad bars. One study, notes Contento, when the price of carrots was 50 percent lower in school cafeteria, there was a 200 percent increasing of the sale. In another study, raise the price of higher-fat cafeteria options increased sales of more nutritious items. The CDC also suggests communities improve outdoor recreational areas for people to go relax and do exercise.

According to all the information above, American people became obesity because two main reasons first, they have poor nutrition food and some people do not like to have vegetables and fruit which contain very high nutrition and they do not do enough exercise due to their work or they don’t have much time. But there are some solutions that can help prevent obesity in American people. Individual solution by having a good and fresh food and encourage themselves and their lover to do more exercise. Community solution by having a fruit stand instead of vending machine , connect school with a local farm so student can get fresh food.

Obesity and how to weight control.

Obesity or fat problem is one of disease that varies across the world especially in the US. The news Report that there was a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States from 1990 through 2012. The state that found the highest obesity is Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama respectively in their state.¹ Only few people know how to weight control in the right way. Diet pills have been used for the obesity but it is the bad way and caused a lot of problem for health. Starving is the fast way to lose weight but harm for health because you won’t have a nutrient food in your body. So what is the best way to lose weight or weight control that is not harm for body and useful for health?      

http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/obesity-statistics-in-the-united-states.aspx

The keys to lose weight and weight control are intention and to know what you eat. You have to know what your weight balance such as if you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight. And if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you lose weight.²        

  The first thing that you have to approve is food. Food is the most important thing when you have to weight control. If you eat the food with high calories, you will get fat. So selecting the food is first. The nutrient foods that help you control your weight are the cereal such as Almonds, Oats, Olive oil, Beans. And the fruits such as Apples, Tomatoes, Bananas, Cucumbers and so on so far.³  It is the natural food, high vitamin and good for body that you can eat it in the balance amount.         

http://www.wellsphere.com/weight-loss-article/food-pyramid-fails-the-weight-loss-test/1306919

The second that is exercise. The truth is that weight loss is about creating a calorie deficit or in other words, burning more calories than you take in.⁴ Timothy Church, MD, MPH, PhD, a professor at Pennington Bio medical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La. Said that the best exercise to lose weight is the exercise you’ll do.⁵ It is like walking or jogging in 8 minutes might be greater than you not do. So start with something you can do and love to do it such as jogging in the park with your friends or cycling with your bicycle.                      

Starving is the last key to lose weight but it is the ineffective way also. This is an awful thought not only because it doesn't work but also because it can direct to some very serious health problems such as tried and weak due to lack of energy. Not only that the body realizes it is not getting enough food so it begins storing fat to be consumed later.⁶                                             

The best way to lose weight is to follow a healthy, regular diet plan and consume the good foods. A healthy diet consists of no less than 1200 calories per day. Adding to that a good exercise routine that you perform three or four times a week will help you to lose weight and control your weight. Being healthy is a lifestyle and takes commitment but the rewards are that you will look better, feel better, and have more energy in your life.

A girl or guy gets laser treatment to reduce their birthmark.

Plastic surgery can change people's life?

 Plastic surgery can change people's life?

                                                                                                                   p.1

Is it true that the plastic surgery can change people’s life? Today, it is not only on TV show or drama channel to meet many attractive persons, we can see them easily even on shopping mall or crossing street next to you. Why do they have to be good looking person like that? and How do they can be?

In my opinion, being attractive person lead to get somethings better than unattractive person such as job, which have to meet many people, I think most people aspect to talking and connecting with good looking person because they look reliable. More than that, it can earn more money.      

According to research from Daniel Hamermesh, an economics professor at the University of Texas in Austin, It found that attractive people are likely to earn an average of 3% to 4% more than a person with below-average looks. That adds up to $230,000 more over a lifetime for the typical good-looking person, Dr. Hamermesh estimates. (1)

                                                                                                    p.2

How do they can be good looking person? There are many ways to have good look such as make up, dress up, hair style, plastic surgery, etc. In this time I'm focusing on plastic surgery because it is famous way and it can make regular person change to attractive person easily just have enough money.  

                                                                                                           P.3

Plastic surgery is the branch of surgery that deals with the remodeling, repair, or restoration of body parts, especially by the transfer of tissue.(2) There are two type of plastic surgery which is reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery(3); here, we are talking about cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic surgery can reshape the appearance of body parts through cosmetic surgery. Some of the most common body parts people want to improve through surgery includes

• Breasts: Increase or reduce the size of breasts or reshape sagging breasts
• Ears: Reduce the size of large ears or set protruding ears back closer to the head
• Eyes: Correct drooping upper eyelids or remove puffy bags below the eyes
• Face: Remove facial wrinkles, creases or acne scars
• Hair: Fill in balding areas with one's own hair
• Nose: Change the shape of the nose
• Tummy: Flatten the abdomen (4)

As you can see, the plastic surgery can improve your whole body. However, it also has risk too. Before you do please make sure that you have enough information about the clinic and also preparing yourself as much.

I didn’t mean you have to improve it all, just some point that you think it make you less confident or add some point that you think it make you have a good look. And I hope that it is true that the plastic surgery can change people’s life in better way.
