Obesity and Bad Habits That Make You Fat

What Is The Meaning Of Obesity
The state of being grossly fat or overweight.

What is Obesity
Obesity is a condition where a person has accumulated so much body fat that it might have a negative effect on their health.
If a person's bodyweight is at least 20% higher than it should be, he or she is considered obese. If your Body Mass Index (BMI) is between 25 and 29.9 you are considered overweight.

Why Do People Become Obese:

  1. Consuming too many calories
  2. Leading a sedentary lifestyle
  3. Not Sleeping Enough 
  4. Lower rate of smoking (smoking suppresses appetite)
  5. Medications that make patients put on weigh
  6. Obesity gene


What Is The Difference Between Overweight and Obesity
Both Overweight and Obesity imply a condition of excess weight of a person. Being overweight means having more body weight than is considered normal or healthy for one’s age or build. On the other hand, obesity is the condition of being obese, i.e., excess amount of body fat with a BMI of over 30. While an overweight person will carry excess weight, he may or may not have excess accumulation of fat.

How To Prevent Obesity
According to Stanford University we can prevent obesity but how?

-Preventing Obesity in Infants
The longer babies are breastfed, the less likely they are to become overweight as they grow older. Breastfed babies are 15 to 25 percent less likely to become overweight. For those who are breastfed for six months or longer, the likelihood is 20 to 40 percent less.

-Preventing Obesity in Children and Adolescents
Young people generally become overweight or obese because they don't get enough physical activity in combination with poor eating habits. Genetics and lifestyle also contribute to a child's weight status.

Yanny or Laurel? Why This Happen?

First of all watch this video: While some people claim to hear the word "Laurel" in the clip, others say they hear "Yanny." The Clip has been shared thousands of times, and people around the world – including celebrities Chrissy Teigen, Mindy Kaling and, of course, Yanni – have weighed in on what they hear.  The internet erupted in disagreement on Tuesday over an audio clip in which the name being said depends on the listener. Some hear “Laurel.” Others hear “Yanny.” The clip and original “Yanny or Laurel” poll were posted on Instagram, Reddit and other sites by high school students who said that it had been recorded from a vocabulary website playing through the speakers on a computer. One detail may frustrate some and vindicate others: The original clip came from the  vocabulary.com  page for “laurel,” the word for a wreath worn on the head, “usually a symbol of victory.” One way to understand the dynamics at work is to look at a type of chart called a

Look After Your Teeth More (Tips For Healthy Teeth)

Here are some tips to help you look after your teeth. Brush at least twice a day.  The best time to brush teeth is after meals. Choose a toothbrush with a small head for better access to back teeth. Soft bristles are kinder on your gums.  How To Brush Your Teeth Correctly Use fluoridated toothpaste.  Fluoride helps to harden tooth enamel and reduces your risk of decay.  How To Floss Your Teeth Correctly Brush thoroughly.  Tooth brushing should take between two and three minutes. Floss your teeth daily.  Use a slow and gentle sawing motion. Limit acidic drinks like soft drinks, cordials and fruit juices.  Food acids soften tooth material and dissolve the minerals in tooth enamel, causing holes (cavities or caries). In severe cases, teeth may be ‘eaten’ right down to the gum. Limit sugary foods.  Bacteria in dental plaque change sugars into acids. Protect your teeth from injury.  Wear a mouthguard or full-face helmet when playing sports. Try to save a knocked out tooth.  If poss
