Symptoms of Obesity
The symptoms of obesity are an increase
in weight, elevated BMI level, increase
in abdominal girth, disproportionate
physical features, and secondary medical
complications.
Natural Cures
The only real and long-lasting way to
cure obesity is through regular exercise
and eating a well-balanced and healthy
diet. However, medical intervention
is needed in some extreme cases, and
morbidly obese individuals must be put
on medication or undergo an operation
to remove their excess body fat.
It
is best to prevent obesity. Try some
of the following preventive measures:
 |
Add
more fruits, vegetables, and legumes
to your daily diet. Reduce the intake
of fatty foods, sugars, and processed
foods. Avoid overeating and eat
only when hungry. |
|
Avoid creamy
salad dressings, rich condiments
on sandwiches, and extra cheese
in your food. |
|
Do any form
of physical activity. Walking, jogging,
swimming, or even playing with your
children are ways to be physically
active. |
|
Be a sensible
eater. Train your mind to resist
temptation when you are trying to
lose weight and consider counseling
or therapy if necessary. |
|
Listen to
your body. Are you really hungry
or you are eating just because you
have nothing better to do? Reach
out for that tall drink of water
next time you feel a hunger pang
because you may not even be hungry.
Many people wrongly mistake thirst
for a hunger pang and eat when the
body is actually thirsty. Drink
water or other healthy beverages
like broths and soups and avoid
sugary drinks, carbonated beverages,
and creamy milk shakes. |
|
Snack on
carrot sticks and celery instead
of potato chips. Keep almonds and
walnuts in a close vicinity so that
next time you feel like snacking,
you can reach out for a handful
of heart-healthy nuts instead of
candies. |
|
Grill, roast,
bake, or steam your food instead
of frying or cooking it with oil
or butter. |
|
Educate
yourself. Learn as much as you can
about eating healthy and living
well. |
Herbal Cures
Try some of the following herbal remedies
to control your hunger pangs and eventually
treat obesity. However, remember not
to exclusively depend on these herbal
cures. The only real way to cure obesity
is through lifestyle changes and healthy
living habits.
Dandelion
Dandelion
is renowned for its diuretic and laxative
properties and helps the kidneys eliminate
toxins. It is rich in potassium and
can aid in lowering high blood pressure.
It also helps to aid in digestion and
improve blood circulation. For weight
loss, infuse four to ten grams of dried
dandelion leaf in water and consume
it twice each day. Fresh leaves can
be eaten raw in salads.
Green
Tea
Antioxidant-rich
green tea helps to lower the levels
of glucose (sugars), lipids (fats),
and cholesterol in the blood. It also
helps to improve the metabolism of glucose
and lipids and aids in weight loss.
This herbal remedy can be taken in the
form of capsules (supplements) or brewed
and consumed instead of regular tea
or coffee.
Fennel
Fennel
seeds are rich in fiber and can be used
for treating obesity. Fennel acts as
an appetite suppressant and aids in
regularizing bowel movements. It can
also be used to treat digestive disorders
such as indigestion and flatulence.
Steep fennel seeds in hot water to make
a soothing tea and sip it throughout
the day. Chewing a few fennel seeds
after meals is also a good strategy.
