Short walk effective against obesity

According to the findings in a study, if you need to lose weight, 15-minute walk exercise may not be sufficient.

Switzerland biostatistics at the University of Geneva researcher Dr. Michael Costanza to WebMD said that the 15-minute walk to the movement of your state of mind and heart, to be useful, but the weight loss is not enough. His papers are being published in the American Journal of Public Health.

Some of the researcher suggested that people lose weight is to reduce the 100-calorie diet, or through the daily 15-minute walk quickly in order to moderate or burning 100 calories.

His research on fat-burning ultra-realistic point of view, Costanza to WebMD said that more people need to walk the distance to get rid of excess body weight.

In this experiment, Costanza spent 5 years to complete the 6010 survey, aged between 35-year-old to 74 years among adults in Switzerland's lifestyle, and then burning fat for the day planning the following day walking campaign Suggested that arrangements were 15-30 minutes of walking, were divided into slow, medium, or campaign-style quickly scamper, Law decided to take a different metabolic rate and burn fat volume.

If his mother were in accordance with the approach recommended by the exercise, he found, such as the following:

* Average daily adult slow walk for 15 minutes, only 9 of burning calories.

* The average adult slow walk 30 minutes a day, burning only 25 calories.

The mother assumed that all those involved in the implementation of a more difficult exercise, the following results would be expected to:

* Moderate walking 15 minutes a day can burn 36 calories of heat.

* Walking quickly to increase calorie burning, quickly walking 30 minutes a day can burn 129 calories.

Costanza pointed out that if you set the goal of burning 100 calories a day for heat, the 15-minute walk exercise is not enough to walk the walk through the consumption of energy is very little, need more time to walk the trot In order to really increase calorie burning, so we can successfully achieve weight loss goals.

University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Weight Management Center, said Dr. Madelyn Fernstrom, it is not true. WebMD to Fernstrom said, you can walk to walk 15-20 minutes, and 10 pounds off weight, provided that you have to do every day, but if you can not reduce the intake of calories, you burn 100 calories, will be spent You one year's time, can be reduced by 10 pounds of body weight.

What makes people so troubled? Stop extra 150 calories and more than offset the exercise of all, he explained that they wasted the efforts of weight loss.

Fernstrom do not like the provision of public health messages and go step-by-step information 10000, or 1 day 45-1 minutes reduce the weight of the argument that people know what to do. She said that one day people will think, is not as good.

She suggested setting a realistic goal to start a 30-minute and a half miles of walking, then walk for 15 minutes, 1 mile, then walk 30 minutes 2 miles. Fernstrom stress that this idea is for a limited time to increase physical activity.

In order to be a short period of time, less excess body weight, helps reduce calories, but the movement is less than the cost of food, she explained, you have 1 day to reduce 500 calories, 1 week to 1 pound weight reduction, if you do every day Some sports, you only reduce the 350 calories, 150 pounds in weight loss when you try to be very valuable.

Fernstrom added that, of course, you can eat less and lose weight by without some movement, but understand that there are many books to tell you that to be effective weight loss, exercise will be an easier way.

The mentally ill are more obese

Mental factors in their most experts believe that mental illness caused by obesity has its own factors: ① there is some kind of mental illness associated with diabetes have the phenomenon of endocrine disorders and neurotransmitter imbalance. ② closely related to both genetic and, in particular the multi-gene genetic type 2 diabetes, schizophrenia and genetic similar to the way. ③ emotional instability, to patients with endocrine disorders. ④ patients lose initiative does not think of movement, lazy, childish behavior, regardless of the consequences greedy, but not beautiful, and so on.

The role of antipsychotic drugs currently used antipsychotics, there are varying degrees of weight gain in patients so that the side effects. ① such as the direct effect of the drug, blocking 5 - HT, and other neurotransmitters, resulting in patients with bulimia, do not want activities. ② drug indirect role in the suppression of the central nervous system, the patient fell all day and lifeless, more than the normal physiological need for sleep, as well as energy consumption is too small, too fat to form savings. ③ drugs on cholinergic receptor, patients often makes sense to drink water and dry mouth, or drink sugary drinks and fruit and easy to have a sense of hunger, appetite and hyperactivity.

Correct anti-fat treatment

Mental patients in the clinical treatment must be integrated treatment approach in order to obtain anti-fat treatment correct, and achieved satisfactory results.

① science and clinical medicine research, antipsychotic drugs on patients with body weight differences, with an average weight gain from weak to strong order are: perphenazine, haloperidol (F piperidyl alcohol), chlorpromazine, S Lee pyridazine (methionine pyridazine), clozapine. In the election-time to take into account all factors, weighing the pros and cons. ② use of scientific method: the type of medication at least, the lowest dose, the onset of the fastest, the best control of symptoms, side effects at least, the shortest time, and the lowest rate of relapse. To achieve this, the core of the problem is that the dose of medication and treatment time.

① reasonable diet diet should have "three more than 1 limit." That is, restrictions on sugar (especially sweet) food, limit fat intake, energy intake restriction (and other staple food refers to the amount of non-staple food); eating more low-energy food (such as low-sugar fruits, leafy vegetables and fiber food). ② when guiding patients dine slowly, focusing on a sense of full belly, a sense of this as soon as they stop eating. Please doctors calculate the best nutrition in patients with the necessary nutrition, converted into quantitative food supply.

Brisk walking each day to strengthen temper 45 to 60 minutes per week for at least 5 days away, to increase energy expenditure, suppress appetite, maintain a healthy weight and increase a sense. Practice has proved that training for men than women, and overweight women are more suitable weight training.

Surgical treatment of surgery, including vertical-linked stomach and the formation of gastric bypass surgery. This type of surgery in general can lose weight 40% to 70%. But for the mentally ill, the surgery has some risk. At present, for a variety of weight loss drugs, I do not recommend for good. Slimming products because, to some extent to worsen the symptoms of patients with mental illness.
