In this fast world most of us are not concerned about our health. No one is ready to spend a little time for doing exercise and for maintaining health. We will think about it after getting caught by the diseases of obesity.
This article is for those who started to think about their health and ready to spend a little bit of time for doing some work outs. Body building workouts are different from that of exercise. It requires extreme level work outs that hit the muscle levels which makes it stronger. But for maintaining health, with a little effort we can attain it. Researches have confirmed that the chance of getting diseases can be reduced by doing exercise.
Diseases due to obesity
The three important diseases due to overweight are
1. Heart disease
Fat content in the blood increases when a man puts on weight. This fat gets deposited on the narrow blood vessels that supplies oxygen to the heart. It blocks the easy path of blood and results in the blocking of blood passage. This will lead to heart attacks can even cause death.
2. Stroke
If the fat content gets deposited in the blood vessels of brain, this will lead to stroke. Some part of the brain will lack to get the blood supply and thereby oxygen and can cause some deformalities to human body like memory loss, weakness etc.
3. Diabetes
This situation is arisen due to the increased sugar level in the blood. It can badly affect the working of internal organs like kidney etc.
Things to be remembered while planning to start exercise
Are you ready to start exercise or trying to improve the workouts, then you have to consider the 3 basic elements: muscle strength, aerobic fitness, amount of exercise to do.
If you are an athlete or a body builder you have to think muscle strength and aerobic fitness. But for others they have to fix the amount of exercise to reduce their fat and maintain health. The first step towards this is to consult a doctor. He will advise you to take the necessary steps. If you are confident about yourself you can fix the amount of exercise. I will help you. For this you have to find the BMI. It’s a scale showing the permittable weight for a particular heighted person. To find out BMI use this formula
BMI = (Weight in Kilograms / (Height in Meters) x (Height in Meters))
This will provide a numerical quantity. You have to compare it with BMI chart. I am not providing the chart here because it is easily accessible in the internet. Also free BMI calculating sites can be used for this. The next step is to decide the weight which is to be reduced and to decide the exercise routine.
