The best way to overcome obesity is start controlling your eating habits. Doctors say that a human being must eat (on time) 3 times in a day (in appropriate proportion). This frequency of meal should be 5-6 hours or more.
For example, if you eat your breakfast at 7 am then you should have your lunch at 12 pm and then dinner at 6 pm. This routine should include the quality of food. Avoid eating junk food like pizzas, hog dog, fried food and burgers which contains high fats and carbohydrates.
Also avoid drinking coke. If you wish to eat such foods eat them once a week. Roasted or boiled food is good for health. Traditional food which contains excess oil & ghee should also be avoided.
Work out or exercise is another excellent way to overcome obesity. You can choose to do cardio such as swimming, walking or jogging. According to doctors we must do exercises at least thrice a week (either morning or afternoon). Exercises help you to stay alive & burn out extra body fat that stuck inside the body.
Obesity is seen in children because of lack of education. Parents do not educate their children about a proper, nutritious and balanced diet. As a result children eat food that leads to obesity. Apart from poor health obesity also leads to depression and hype tension. Obese citizens also affect the growth and development of the country because unhealthy people are less productive in their work.
