Overweight is a common side effect of our modern times. In fact, almost 70% of people in industrialized nations are above a normal weight measure.
We use the Body Mass Index (BMI) as a guide to determine a healthy weight for an individual. BMI is determined by using your body weight and height.
Formula: weight in kg / (height in meters)^2
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a BMI-value of 25 and higher as “being overweight”.
If the amount of calories ingested from food and drinks consistently exceeds calories burned, weight gain will inevitably occur. Constant weight gain leads to being overweight. Over time, excess body weight can permanently impair our health and thus even lead to chronic diseases.
These can include cardiovascular problems, diabetes, high blood pressure and joint problems, to name a few.
Adequate amounts of exercise can actively influence a healthy energy balance, help you level out calorie intake and maintain a healthy weight.
The other equally important component is nutrition. Today, many people still believe that you can lose weight by simply eating less. Unfortunately, this is one of the biggest mistakes as you are essentially starving yourself. Our body and mind need the energy that it gets from food to function well and stay healthy.
If we put our body into a state of hunger, our body will respond with emergency measures. You inevitably lose physical and mental performance.
After a particular time, starvation strains your body, and people break their strict diet. Often followed by an even stronger eating phase, your body will then gain weight even faster. This is also known as the yo-yo effect.
