How to Thin and Healthy Body

Thin and Healthy Body
There are many ways to lose weight, starting from the various methods of diet, exercise, liposuction, acupuncture, slimming medicine to drink. Which is safe and effective.

According to world health agency, WHO, noted that weight loss is not good can be done instantly, but it is a long-term therapy. Needed to lose weight not only reduces eating, but also needed guidance from a nutritionist before making dietary changes, along with physical activity and behavioral therapy.

To find out which way slimming healthy, safe, and effective, please read the following descriptions to complete.

Liposuction
How to remove fat that is the trend now is liposuction surgery and tummy-tuck. This operation was chosen because a lot of weight can come down drastically without exercising and tired of dieting, it is proved by the testimony of a famous artist. But why did it even though the fat is removed, the body is still too stretchy?

Basically liposuction is surgery to remove fat under the skin, and made to achieve harmony of body, not to lose weight. While tummy-tuck is the process of disposal of excess fat tissue and the overlying skin to form a more aesthetic body. Fat should not be reduced any more than 3-5 kg once operations

According to nutrition specialist, dr.Johanes Chandrawinata, MND, SpGK, both types of operations are usually performed on patients who doctors had bodies sagged after the body weight lost. So, to lose weight first before surgery, not surgery to lose weight because after 3 months the body will be fat again.

Gastric binding & gastric by-pass
This action is selected if by any slimming method did not work. Gastric binding is the installation tool "binding the stomach" which causes a smaller stomach pouch so that we will not eat too much because your body feel full faster. Through these actions can decrease weight 35-60 percent in 12 months.

Unlike the gastric temporary binding, gastric by-pass is permanent, the doctor will make a 'road' connecting the base of the stomach with the small intestine so that food through the stomach but not directly into the small intestine. With gastric by-pass, weight loss can be reduced to 80 percent. To perform these two types of action, patients should be aged over 35 years.

Acupuncture
Until now Acupunture method can not be scientifically proven to lose weight. Generally, the patients had stopped in the middle of the road because never get the ideal weight expected.

Drugs and supplements slimming
Prior to believe by the lure of advertising, you should first thoroughly content drugs and supplements. Drug control agencies and the U.S. food (FDA) even forbade the consumption of slimming supplements that contain ingredients or ephedrine akftif E.sinica having symptoms of psychiatric side effects, interfere with the gastrointestinal tract and makes the heart pounding.

Although mentioned can reduce fat levels, not a slimming drug is only able to reduce body weight 1.2 kg for 6-14 weeks, equivalent to low calorie diet for 1250/hari at 0.5 week period without any medication.

Popular diet
Popular diets often called "Fad Diets", a characteristic of other promising rapid weight reduction, can cure diseases, recommends the use of supplements, eating on time, limit or prohibit certain foods and only for a period of view.

Which can be classified into fad diets such as low-carb diet, food combining, diet based on blood type, mayo clinic diet. Because of the prohibition to eat certain foods, usually nutrients the body needs not being met because of lack of vitamins, iron, and fiber.

In terms of nutrition, each meal (morning, afternoon and evening) is recommended to eat foods that vary in the amount of balance, because the body needs various nutrients as well.

Lose weight in a healthy
Although no definitive answer which diet best for weight loss, but dr. John recommended dietary patterns conducted by the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR) in the United States. NWCR is a collection of the data (there are 4000 people) who have lost weight over 13 kg and persisted for more than 5 years.

Characteristic diet is low in fat (24 percent of calorie intake), intake of high carbohydrate, low-calorie (1300-1500 kcal / day). Because we can not know how many calories are contained in food, dr.Johanes suggested to reduce intake is smaller than normal portions.

Explained by dr.Johanes, the majority of the members listed in NWCR doing breakfast on a regular basis, monitor their own weight and doing regular exercise. With low-fat diet is low in calories such as these have proven to be able to lose weight more than 13 kg and can be maintained for more than 5 years.

Step by Step started before Sports

Step by Step started before Sports
Every time sports are hoping to pay attention and follow the steps below:
1. Warm-up (warm up)
This exercise is conducted before entering the core exercises with a view to preparing a variety of body systems before entering the actual exercise. The purpose of this exercise is to raise the body temperature, increased heart rate approached the intensity of exercise. In addition to heating needs reduce the possibility of injury from sports. Old heating Usually 5 - 10 minutes.

2. Core exercise (conditioning)
At this stage, the pulse endeavored to reach the target as written above. If targets are not achieved, then there is no benefit, contrary to exceed predetermined targets, will lead to unwanted risks.

3. Cooling (cool down)
We recommend that each exercise is completed cooling to prevent accumulation of toxic substances released during exercise or dizziness because blood was collected in the active muscles. Accumulation of lactic acid can cause pain in muscles after exercise. When exercise is jogging is done on cooling should stay the way for a few minutes. When cycling, still swinging a bicycle without a load. Long cooling approximately 5 - 10 minutes, until the close pulse heartbeat breaks.

4. Stretch (stretching)
This is done to stretch and limber up the muscles that are stretched and more elastic. This component is very important for longevity.

How to Healthy Exercise

How to Healthy Exercise
Healthy way exercise can refer to the FITT guidelines, it's Frequency, Intensity, Time / Tempo & Type.

Frequency:
The frequency of exercise should be done on a regular basis is 3 to 5 times a week on alternate days which means a day interval. Do not forget to give your body a chance to recover the day after exercising.

Sports that do more than 5 times a week will lead to various complications, both psychologically and physiologically, and is no longer benefits for the body. That's because although the heart muscle can be trained several times each day, but the muscle-skeletal body will start to break if trained too hard. It spent 48 hours (2 days) for muscle-skeletal muscle to recover from micro-bleeding & damage it. In fact, for more heavy exercise, it takes much longer to complete recovery. By providing time for the muscles to heal, it can make the muscles become stronger.

Intensity:
Intensity implies that the weight given exercise does not result in harmful effects. Exercise should be mild to moderate is 60% -70% MHR (Maximun Heart Rate or the maximum heart rate) exercise with the intensity of this kind is enough to improve or increase the ability of the heart because if the training is done until the maximum heart rate will cause fatigue and dangerous.
Conversely, if the exercise below 70% then the effect is very little training or less beneficial for the heart, especially for healthy people.

Calculation of MHR is 220 - age. For example, the target for people aged 40 years was 220 to 40 = 180. Sixty (60)% of the value is 108. This means that during the exercise arrange pulse times ranging from 108 to 126 times/minute.

Time / Tempo:
Tempo training means long term or given training to provide benefits. Studies show, the old practice of 20-30 minutes is enough to increase capacity as much as 35% when performed 3 times a week within a half months. So exercises similar for 6 months will result in increased capacity to the optimum. The longer a training exercise at the recommended dose is more resistant heart. The longer the exercise means more blood flow, the more oxygen is used or distributed throughout the body.

Exercises conducted 30 minutes will give effect to us, one side will increase blood flow, on the other hand will help solve the metabolism of fat and cholesterol. Thus anyone with a good exercise and the right means to increase the level of physical fitness to good. In addition they also have to fit preventive action. Tolerance is the maximum time used for the exercise is 30-60 minutes.

Type:
Sports in general can be categorized into 2 types, namely aerobic (with oxygen) or anaerobic (without oxygen). Almost every sport is a combination of both these kinds. The following will explain differences in both types of exercise are:
  • Sports aerobics: This term is used for sports that require oxygen from the air to move muscles, which makes the heart & lungs to work harder than usual. Walking, running, biking, & swimming is done in a long time are examples of aerobic exercise. This type of exercise is better to burn calories and improve heart function compared to anaerobic exercise. However, this type of exercise not good for increasing strength or muscle shape.

  • Sports Anaerobic: In contrast to aerobic exercise, exercise this type of energy sources in the muscle that burned without oxygen from the air. This type of exercise requires a more frequent practice in a shorter time. Examples are lifting weights. This type of exercise to burn calories in a smaller amount of aerobic exercise. However, this kind of good exercise to increase strength or build muscle, skeletal muscle. In a long time, skeletal muscle mass increased much makes you lose weight because of skeletal muscle mass which requires more calories more. To strengthen the heart, exercise should be done with high enough intensity. Intensity felt pretty when your heart rate per minute increased as much as 20 times per minute than normal, with heavy breath & sweat in large quantities (in the air does not heat). Meanwhile, to assess the intensity is high when the body is not able to do the same exercise movements again.

    The types of exercise is good for patients who are endurance (aerobic) which serves to improve the heart and blood vessels misalanya: roads, jogging, swimming and cycling.

    To prevent injury or serious damage from the muscle-specific skeletal muscle, should be a combination of exercise performed. That is because each sport will have more tendency to use muscle-specific skeletal muscle in the body, such as running the more often used the calf muscles, more cycling using your thigh muscles, while swimming more use of arm & back muscles. The same can be applied to lift the load. A good exercise schedule is alternately train the muscles of the body & in the next exercise to train the muscles of the lower body, or criss-cross.

    Another thing to do is to routinely change the type of exercise / sport undertaken. Our body will adjust as we keep on doing a similar movement in a long time. Thus, the movements of the same will be less than effective in building muscle strength & heart health because it is done continuously over a long time.
    Thus, to exercise good weight change of the movements after a few weeks. As for aerobic exercise, should be variations between different kinds of aerobic exercise.
