The only way to achieve something in life, is through single-minded devotion to that particular goal, and constant hard work to help you reach it. A workout regime is no different. There is a reason why it is referred to as the fitness lifestyle and not just a fitness hobby. Sometimes, however, its hard to stay motivated all the time, especially when the world is in the throes of a global pandemic that has stranded everyone at home. Most public places have remained closed during the coronavirus-led lockdown, particularly gyms and sports clubs.

For motivation, we can look to some of the most recognisable faces in the Hindi film industry, who despite being 40 or above have not let themselves slack for even a moment. Not only do these actors excel in their craft, they are all family men who not only inspire their children but us as well, to keep pushing and working hard for our fitness goals. Their Instagram pages are littered with their workout pictures and regimes that are certain to keep anyone motivated.

Akshay Kumar

The actor may be 52 but he has never been fitter in his life. He is easily one of the most good looking and fittest of all Bollywood celebrities. He sets such fitness goals for himself that he is the only one capable of pulling them off. From performing his own stunts, swimming with weights, working out with wooden beads, doing gymnastics, and training in martial arts, Akshay Kumar has done it all and then some. His diet is completely vegan and consists of only home-cooked meals.

Farhan Akhtar

Farhan Akhtar has gone through many body transformations for his various roles. For his upcoming role as a boxer in Toofan, he once again gained 15 kilos in 6 weeks. With abs that could cut glass and rock-hard biceps, he is the epitome of fitness currently. In an interview, Farhan Akhtar also commented, For me, fitness is a way of life and not just a routine. Irrespective of my craft, I choose to live a healthy and disciplined lifestyle. Ive always refrained from indulging in things that could have adverse effects on my body.

Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan has been the talk of the entire industry in terms of his physique and dancing abilities since his debut in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai (2000). And there has yet to be a moment where he has disappointed. Roshan works hard and eats right to ensure that his body keeps looking the way it does and even though the actor turned 46 this year, he definitely does not look it. His work out regime includes high intensity cardio and weight training and he is a firm believer in eating small meals at regular intervals to keep hunger pangs at bay.

Anil Kapoor

Anil Kapoor is keeping as fit at the age of 63 as he was at 33. The actor can be spotted at the gym various times in a week through his Instagram and he is looking finer by the day. To such an extent that it is often hard to believe that he is the father of 35-year-old Sonam Kapoor. People often joke about how he looks younger than this son-in-law, Anand Ahuja. If you are looking for inspiration to get your own body transformation under way, look no further than Anil Kapoors Instagram page.

Saif Ali Khan

At the age of 49, Saif Ali Khan is still giving all of us not just fitness but lifestyle goals. Saif Ali Khan is not just a man of many talents but also a doting father to his 3 children, and a fourth on the way. To keep in shape for his roles in Laal Kaptaan and Sacred Games, Saif followed a balanced diet that includes rice, dal and vegetables and mixed it up with yoga and cardio when it comes to working out. A behind-the-scenes video of Laal Kaptaan was shared by the makers, showcasing just how hard he worked to get into the skin of his character.

Arjun Rampal

There are very few men who look as dashing as Arjun Rampal does, even at the age of 47. Of the many things he is known for in Bollywood, his ripped physique is certainly on the top of the list. He keeps himself fit through various outdoor exercises like running, swimming, playing sports like football and even practising karate. He is not that much of a stickler when it comes to his diet as he is a complete foodie. He also commented that thanks to his good metabolism, his unwanted fat intake is easily burnt away.

Sonu Sood

Sonu Sood is one person who goes above and beyond to maintain his fitness and also encourages others to do the same. On his birthday, the actor gave away free gym memberships to fitness enthusiasts in Mumbai, Nagpur, Delhi, and Punjab. In an interview he also said that, It makes me happy when they send me pictures of themselves getting fitter, and a lot of their health problems healed. These are the things that give me a high and feel that Im doing something good.

Suniel Shetty

Another gym enthusiast, even at the age of 58, Suniel Shetty is looking fitter than ever. For him fitness has always been a priority and his workout routine includes a bit of everything, like yoga, weight training, cardio and other outdoor activities. He also recently joined a nationwide wellness campaign called WIN (Wellness Indoors Now) that encourages people to stay fit and improve their lifestyle from the comfort of their homes. He also did a TVshow called Indias Asli Champion a few years ago, a reality stunt show to find the fittest Indian.

Shahid Kapoor

Though this talented actor may not be 40 yet, he certainly is on the right track when it comes to overall fitness. The 39-year-old actor may have started his career in Bollywood as a fresh-faced sweetheart but has quickly transformed into the heartthrob we know and love today. Shahid loves to experiment with his workout regime which include planks, push-ups, dead-lifts, cardio and weight training. He works out for more than 2 hours a day for 6 times a week and if that is not dedication, we dont know what is.

We have heard of a new diet craze for while now called the keto diet? Celebrities and influencers swear by this diet and for the most part, the before and afters look amazing. So why has this diet become so popular? And why are the old days of just lettuce as the diet choice long gone?

Food change

The way we look at food has changed drastically over the years. We have now discovered what organic food is although it has been around since the beginning of time and if you think of it the oldest type of food source as it is basically the same as living off the land organic food has become more popular over the years as it has been discovered that a lot of our growable food like vegetables are sprayed with pesticides and chemicals making it not the safest to ingest. When we take a look at how certain diets and food sources are hitting the market right now we couldnt help but think is this going to change the industry? As our elders are passing away and the 80s and 90s generation are starting to become the elite we have noticed a lot of changes from since we were younger. Most importantly food-wise. Years ago it was ok to eat fast food, it actually widely encouraged and the trend of salads and healthy food items were not as heavily advertised. But in recent years that have all seemed to change, and the healthy food items are coming out on top. When we take a look at the keto diet we will see why and how the food options are winner for anyone trying to diet healthier but enjoy some of the same foods that they have always loved.

What is the keto diet?

When exploring the keto diet we could not help but ask questions, after all, it is a really interesting diet. That takes things to a whole new level.

The first thing we should know is what exactly is the keto diet. The keto diet is a diet that uses a different type of fuel to energize your body. Instead of relying on sugars that come from carbs, it uses a fuel that is made by your liver from stored fats called ketone bodies. But to reach ketosis as it is called is not an easy process. When you are in ketosis your body is producing the right amount of ketone bodies. In order to get into ketosis, you must Depriive yourself of carbs. To be in ketosis you must consume no more than 20 to 50 grams of carbs a day. And eating too much protein can actually interfere with your ketosis levels.

Keto Supplements

A big trend with the keto diet is keto diet supplements. They basically ensure that you are reaching ketosis. The keto diet can be hard to follow perfectly. And if you are not in ketosis then you are essentially wasting your time on the diet. Using keto diet supplements can help push your body into ketosis where it might be hard to otherwise. When using keto diet supplements, you want to make sure that you do your research and that you are taking the correct amount of supplements. If you are not sure ask a professional on how much you should take.

Do I still need to work out?

We like to tell you that there is no such diet where you do not need to work out. There is a difference between being skinny and being healthy. Working out every day at least 30 minutes is highly recommended. Your body relies on physical activity to burn calories and fat. Diet just helps it in that area.

What can I eat?

When doing the keto diet, you are doing high fat low carb so you want to avoid foods that are high in carbs. You want to avoid bread, but actually still have a hamburger. You are just going to replace the bun with lettuce.

You are also going to gear towards foods such as leafy greens as they are low in carbs such as Brussel sprouts, asparagus, broccoli, spinach, kale.

Foods that are healthy unsaturated fat such as nuts, tofu, avocados are recommended in high amounts.

We hope that you have found this interesting. If you are interested in the keto diet you should definitely look into it more. It might seem difficult at first, but it will get easier for you to perfect later down the road. You also should look into food apps where you can input what you are eating and it will tell you how many carbs are in it. When dieting, make sure that you are giving yourself time to show results. The perfect body does not happen overnight. You might get frustrated at times, but keep pushing yourself.

Dr. Shigeaki Hinohara had an extraordinary life for many reasons. For starters, the Japanese physician and longevity expert lived until the age of 105.

When he died, in 2017, Hinohara was chairman emeritus of St. Luke's International University and honorary president of St. Luke's International Hospital, both in Tokyo.

Perhaps best known for his book, "Living Long, Living Good,"Hinohara offered advice that helped make Japan the world leader in longevity. Some were fairly intuitive points, while others were less obvious:

The average retirement age, at least in the U.S., has always hovered at around 65. And, in recent years, many have embraced the FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early).

ButHinohara viewed things differently. "There is no need to ever retire, but if one must, it should be a lot later than 65," he said in a 2009 interview with The Japan Times. "The current retirement age was set at 65 half a century ago, when the average life expectancy in Japan was 68 years and only 125 Japanese were over 100 years old."

Today, he explained, people are living a lot longer. The life expectancy for U.S. in 2020, for example, is78.93 years, a 0.08% increase from 2019. Therefore, we should be retiring much later in life, too.

Hinohara certainly practiced what he preached:Until a few months before his death, he continued to treat patients, kept an appointment book with space for five more years, and worked up to 18 hours a day.

Hinohara emphasized the importance of regular exercise. "I take two stairs at a time, to get my muscles moving," he said.

He carried his own packages and luggage, and gave 150 lectures a year, usually speaking for 60 to 90 minutes all done standing, he said, "to stay strong."

Hinohara pointed out that people who live an extremely long life have a commonality: They aren't overweight. Indeed, obesity is widely considered one of the mostsignificant risk factorsfor increased morbidity and mortality.

Hinohara's diet was spartan: "For breakfast, I drink coffee, a glass of milk and some orange juice with a tablespoon of olive oil in it." (Studies have found that olive oil offers numerous health benefits, such as keeping your arteries clean and lowering heart disease risk.)

"Lunch ismilk and a few cookies, or nothing when I am too busy to eat," he continued. "I never get hungry because I focus on my work. Dinner is veggies, a bit of fish and rice, and, twice a week, 100 grams of lean meat."

According to Hinohara, not having a full schedule is a surefire way to age faster and die sooner. However, it's important to stay busy not just for the sakeof staying busy, but to be active in activities that help serve a purpose. (The logic is that one can be busy, yet still feel empty and idle on the inside.)

Hinohara found his purpose early on, after his mother's life was saved by the family's doctor.

Janit Kawaguchi, ajournalist who considered Hinohara a mentor,said, "He believed that life is all about contribution, so he had this incredible drive to help people, to wake up early in the morning and do something wonderful for other people. This is what was driving him and what kept him living."

"It's wonderful to live long," Hinohara said in the interview. "Until one is 60 years old, it is easy to work for one's family and to achieve one's goals. But in our later years, we should strive to contribute to society. Since the age of 65, I have worked as a volunteer. I still put in 18 hours seven days a week and love every minute of it."

While he clearly promoted exercise and nutrition as pathways to a longer and healthier life, Hinohara simultaneously maintained that we need not be obsessed with restricting our behaviors.

"We all remember how, as children, when we were having fun, we would forget to eat or sleep," he often said. "I believe we can keep that attitude as adults it is best not to tire the body with too many rules."

Richard Overton, one of America's oldest-surviving World War II veterans, would havemostlikely agreed.Right up until his death at age 112, the supercentenarian smoked cigars, drank whisky and ate fried food and ice cream on a daily basis.

Hinohara might not have approved of Overton's diet, but, to be fair, Overton did credit his longevity to maintaining a "stress-free life and keeping busy."

Hinohara cautioned against always taking the doctor's advice. When a test or surgery is recommended, he advised, "ask whether the doctor would suggest that his or her spouse or children go through such a procedure."

Hinohara insisted that science alone can't help people. It "lumps us all together, but illness is individual. Each person is unique, and diseases are connected to their hearts," he said. "To know the illness and help people, we need liberal and visual arts, not just medical ones."

In fact, Hinohara made sure that St. Luke's catered to the basic need of patients: "To have fun." The hospital provided music, animal therapy and art classes.

"Pain is mysterious, and having fun is the best way to forget it," he said. "If a child has a toothache, and you start playing a game together, he or she immediately forgets the pain."

According to The New York Times, toward the end of his life, Hinohara was unable to eat, but refused a feeding tube. He was discharged and died months later at home.

Instead of trying to fight death, Hinohara found peace in where he was through art. In fact, he credited his contentment and outlook toward life to a poem by Robert Browning, called"Abt Vogler" especially these lines:

There shall never be one lost good! What was, shall live as before;The evil is null, is nought, is silence implying sound;What was good shall be good, with, for evil, so much good more;On the earth the broken arcs; in the heaven a perfect round.

"My father used to read it to me," Hinohara recalled. "It encourages us to make big art, not small scribbles. It says to try to draw a circle so huge that there is no way we can finish it while we are alive. All we see is an arch; the rest is beyond our vision, but it is there in the distance."

Spending more time at home over the past few months has prompted us to take a closer look at our eating habits.

Were interested in adding more plant-based options to our diets; that part were sure of. But its often difficult to know where to start, what to buy at the grocery store, and how to elevate dishes yourself.

Many Canadians have already made the switch to plant-based diets; in fact,BC has the highest share of vegans and vegetarians over any other province in the country.Whether youre transitioning to a new diet, limiting your meat consumption, or curious about how to stock a vegan-friendly pantry, you have options withplant-based alternatives.

The experts at Vancouvers socially conscious plant-based meat company,TMRW Foods, know a thing or two about vegan-friendly cooking, so we asked them to share their top hacks with us.

After a night of sleep, our bodies need a satisfying breakfast to kickstart the day and give us the energy to go about our morning tasks. While you might assume that a plant-based diet limits your options, but this simply isnt the case.

If anything, those who love to eat big portions can rejoice. Vegan foods are less calorie dense than animal-derived products, so its important to eat a greater volume of food when going plant-based. Thankfully, its easy to stock your pantry and fridge with ingredients that work for all kinds of vegan breakfast recipes.

For a boost of protein in the early AM when you need it most, items like TMRW mince or firm tofu are great to include in something hearty like a breakfast burrito. One thing we love about the TMRW Mince is that it cooks quickly and caramelizes in the pan ideal for mornings when youre short on time but still want something delicious and satisfying.

To achieve that quintessential breakfast flavour in your burrito, a great tip is to add nutritional yeast (its high in B vitamins and adds an almost cheesy finish), and black Himalayan salt(it contains trace minerals like sulphur, making it great for creating a more eggy flavour).

For those who enjoy a sweeter start to the day, the vegan options are bountiful as well. We recommend doing overnight oats, which are hearty and filling, or chia seed pudding, which is high in omega-3s. These are easy and quick to make, and they taste better when prepped the night before and left in the fridge overnight.

If youre working from home, you know just how easy it is to throw your diet plans into the ocean in favour of a quick noodle soup lunch. However, preparing a vegan-friendly lunch doesnt need to take hours. You can even prepare a big helping ahead of time to last you a couple of days.

One way of doing this is to bulk-buy produce and challenge yourself to find creative ways to use it. There are tons of YouTube tutorials on how to start juicing, fermenting, pickling, caramelizing, powdering, and dehydrating foods.

Start with ingredients that you can have some fun with. Strawberries, for example, can be fermented to make jam. You can let ginger or garlic dehydrate and turn either of them into a powder to use in juices or soups, and it doesnt take long to make some pickled onions.Expect a super flavourful and versatile addition to your lunches.

Another quick idea we love is using chickpeas as an alternative to tuna for a fibre and protein-rich lunch. For a vegan tuna salad sandwich, mash up a handful of chickpeas, add some vegan mayo, chopped celery, and a few sprinkles of old bay seasoning. These simple additions can take your lunch to the next level!

At the end of a long day, the temptation to order takeout is real. Butwhen you can emulate the restaurant experience with easy-to-prepare food at home (and save money at the same time), dinner tastes even better. Serving upbrag-worthy burgers and homemade fries is just the beginning.

Were big fans of the TMRW Burger because it definitely hits the spot when youve got a serious burger craving, while still keeping things balanced with the inclusion of wholesome plant ingredients like quinoa, split peas, and kidney beans. The best of both worlds!

To keep your evening meals as nutritious as possible, think about integrating everyday ingredients likemushrooms (high in vitamins B and D), yams (for potassium), and tomatoes (vitamin C). Tip: To make sure youre increasing your iron absorption, always add a source of vitamin C to your meal. This can be anything from fresh tomatoes or peppers to a squeeze of lemon.

Browsing local farmers markets for produce allows you to find inspiration for vegan-friendly dinners and desserts youll typically find locally-made vegan treats that you wont find at the grocery store, too.

With your ingredients down, prepare some easy-to-make-vegan Asian dishes that you can also store in the freezer for later in the week. Looking for a new spin on your favourite Mexican dishes? Simply replace the meat withrefried or black beans. Dont forget the vegan mayo on the side you can make your own usingsunflower oil, soy milk, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Dining at home could have a whole new, delicious meaning for you.

Exploring plant-based alternatives doesnt have to be a daunting experience nor does it have to mean giving up the food you love.

You just have to get a little creative and plan ahead so that when you open your fridge, youve got plenty of options. The world is your oyster (well, oyster mushroom).

These simple hacks will make you fall in love with plant-based cooking | Dished - Daily Hive

While there are many debates about which type of diet is best for weight loss and health, it's often not the weight loss which is the biggest challenge, but rather avoiding weight regain afterwards.

This can lead to cycles of dieting and weight gain, or "yo-yo" dieting, which can cause people to have a less healthy relationship with food, worse mental health and a higher body weight.

But recently, "reverse dieting" has gained popularity online as a post-diet eating plan that claims it can help you avoid weight regain by eating more. In simple terms, it's a controlled and gradual way of increasing from a low calorie weight-loss eating plan back to your more "normal" pre-diet way of eating.

The idea with reverse dieting is that gradually increasing calorie intake following a deficit will allow your body and your metabolism to "adjust" so that you can avoid weight regain while eating more.

However, there is currently no scientific evidence showing that reverse dieting works as advocates claim.

Reverse dieting is based around the theory that our body has baseline "set points" for metabolism and calorie intake hardwired into our biology, and if we go above these points we gain weight.

The idea is that reverse dieting can shift these "set points" upwards if a person slowly increases the amount of calories eaten as food. This would theoretically "boost" their metabolism, allowing them to consume more food and calories without gaining weight.

However, the idea that as humans we have a "set point", which we can manipulate with dietary changes, is not supported by research.

The main reason for this is because a number of factors influence our weight and metabolism, including how it changes. Among them are how we're brought up, what food we have access to, what type of exercise we do, and our genetics.

But the most important influence over how our body uses calories and therefore our weight is our resting (or basal) metabolic rate. This is the amount of calories our body needs in order to keep itself alive. This accounts for about 60 to 70 percent of the calories we use daily.

Our basal metabolic rate is mostly determined by our age, weight, sex and muscle mass your diet has little effect on it.

Eating at or below your basal metabolic rate will result in weight loss, and eating above it will result in weight gain.

Our basal metabolic rate also increases as we gain weight or muscle mass, and decreases as we lose weight or muscle mass (the evidence shows that the more muscle your body has, the more calories it needs to function).

Exercise also increases how many calories we use, but usually not enough to massively affect our weight. And though a high protein diet can alter metabolic rate somewhat, our body weight and muscle mass have the greatest effect on it.

So reverse dieting only appears to work by controlling calorie intake. There's currently no evidence that you can alter your metabolism or metabolic rate by introducing more calories slowly and gradually.

Put simply, if you eat more calories than your body requires, you will gain weight. What we do know is that certain habits, like regularly eating breakfast and exercise, help people avoid weight regain after dieting.

While there's currently little research investigating the effects of reverse dieting on metabolism, it could still help people in other ways.

When some people are losing weight, they may feel in control of how they eat. But for some people, stopping their diet could lead to perceived loss of control.

Reverse dieting might give some people the confidence to return to a more sustainable way of eating, or help them move out of a cycle of restrictive dieting.

Advocates of reverse dieting suggest it can also help manage problems of appetite and cravings. This is because additional foods can be added in as the amount of calories and food eaten is increased.

While fewer cravings can help with weight maintenance, this evidence does not come from studies where foods were slowly reintroduced.

For some people, counting calories or restrictive dieting can tend to lead to an unhealthy relationship with their bodies and the food they eat.

Orthorexia nervosa is becoming increasingly common, and is characterised by an obsession with eating healthy which can lead to an unhealthy restriction of and relationship with foods.

While wanting to eat a healthy diet can seem on the surface to be a good thing, when it becomes orthorexia and enjoyment of food is replaced by an anxiety of feeling the need to account for every calorie, this could lead to poor mental health.

Reverse dieting is one approach, but some would argue other methods, such as intuitive eating which emphasises listening to your body's hunger cues and only eating when you're hungry might be psychologically healthier. Intuitive eating may help people both regain and trust their appetites, and stop the cycle of restriction and calorie counting.

What Is 'Reverse Dieting' Anyway? What We Do And Don't Know About This Post-Diet Plan - ScienceAlert

You don't have to be involved in the antidiet, intuitive eating world to know that dieting messages are everywhere. Registered dietitian Dalina Soto, MA, LDN, shared that sometimes they're disguised as "lifestyle" changes, or maybe you're told to simply cut out certain food groups. When people go on restrictive diets, she said they'll discover that they don't work, "but somehow we all want them to work. We want to be the successful ones," and we work so hard to make it happen.

Soto explained that when we fail, we feel like crap, but it isn't our fault. "The diet and weight-loss industry banks on you failing so they can profit on you for years. They want you to continue to buy their shakes, or the frozen meals they can mail to you weekly," she said, adding that whatever diet you follow, "you're never in control, they are."

In case you're thinking about going on another diet, or you're currently on one and feeling miserable, watch this video to learn five reasons why diets suck. POPSUGAR asked Soto to explain each reason, so read on and you just may feel inspired to ditch that restrictive diet forever!

An Antidiet Dietitian Shares 5 Reasons Why Diets Suck and Why You Should Ditch Them Forever - POPSUGAR

I thought I was going to get in trouble at the grocery store when the produce guy came over and asked why I was taking pictures of the bananas. I pointed out the little stickers, and he said, "Oh yeah, we've gotten a few shipments of bananas with those lately." I just smiled, backed away from the bunches, and spared him my rant, because man, I was pissed!

You may not have even noticed they were on your bananas go on, I'll wait while you check. Did you find these little drawings of bananas doing exercises like glute bridges, diamond push-ups, and triceps dips? You can scroll through to see pictures I took of the bananas. These seemingly innocent stickers were brought to my attention when I saw this photo posted by registered dietitian Cara D'Anello, MS, RD, LDN, with a sticker that had a little picture of a banana doing "toe taps." The text on her photo said, "No wonder diet culture exists."

I hadn't thought about it like that, but then I realized what she meant. Chiquita said on its website that it put these fitness stickers on bananas "to boost health and wellness." At first glance, this may not seem like a big deal, but when I thought about it, she was right. The deeper, subconscious message I got was "you need to work off this banana after you eat it" or "you need to do sumo squats in order to 'earn it.'" And that made me really mad. I mean, my 10-year-old daughter eats these bananas. What kind of message is that sending to her?

Bananas already have a bad reputation for being "too carby" or "too high in sugar," so I felt like those little stickers were attacking my simple and pure piece of fruit, making me feel like I shouldn't eat it. They made me think of all the times I exercised as punishment for eating "bad" foods or eating too much. And this is a frickin' piece of fruit not a candy bar, or doughnut, or cookie, like diet culture would tell me is worse than fruit. I already get messages from diet culture about how, what, and when to eat I don't need my fruit adding to that negative conversation.

Maybe I'm overreacting, and maybe this is no biggie. But it really feels like this is diet culture's way of sneaking into my life, telling me I need to pair healthy eating with working out. What does this banana expect from me? That I'm going to reach for it and think, "Oh cool, let me just put you down so I can bust out some glute bridges right now!"

Another thing I thought about was how the diet industry sends the message that you need to be thin in order to be beautiful, which is why I went on my first diet at just 12 years old. And now 31 years later, I'm working really hard to not diet, to eat intuitively, and to embrace my body as it is, not only for myself but also as a role model for my daughter. I get that this company was trying to connect healthy eating with exercise, but I don't want to think about working out while I'm eating, feel guilty for eating, or feel pressured to work out by my food. I immediately thought in my head, "Screw you, diet culture; I'm gonna eat my banana and enjoy it!"

Jet Medical Tourism patients of gastric bypass surgery should note the contents of this new guideline: "Diets don't work" Doctors should recommend gastric bypass surgery or other bariatric procedures for weight loss

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) August 26, 2020

The Canadian Medical Association Journal has published a new clinical practice guideline on obesity treatments. Jet Medical Tourism gastric bypass surgery patients should carefully note this guideline to make more informed choices. The guideline says that obesity should be determined not just by how much a person weighs, but also by their general health condition. Based on this new guideline, doctors may recommend surgical procedures that may include sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.

Diets Dont Work

Ximena Ramos-Salas, one of the authors of the new guideline and a director at Obesity Canada, said that Diets dont work for people suffering from obesity. Research has shown that most people regain weight after losing it on a diet. Data from Statistics Canada reveals that in the last 30 years, the rate of obesity in Canada has tripled. Nearly one in four persons in Canada is now clinically obese.

The guideline, which has been updated after 14 years, was funded by the Canadian Association of Bariatric Physicians and Surgeons, Obesity Canada, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. It suggests that doctors should look at the root causes of why a patient gained excess weight rather than merely advising diet and exercise as the solution.

Gastric Bypass Surgery Helps

According to Ramos-Salas, simply asking an individual suffering from obesity to eat less and exercise more is not a solution. The new guideline encourages doctors and surgeons to offer support to patients with treatments such as gastric bypass surgery, medications, and psychological therapy.

While the guideline continues to validate criteria such as waist circumference and BMI for diagnosing obesity, it recognizes the clinical limitations of these parameters. It says that physicians should focus more on how the excess weight is affecting the individuals health. The guideline strongly speaks against the tendency to blame and shame the patient, and recognize obesity as a chronic, complex, and progressive disease that requires long-term management.

Access to Bariatric Surgery

The new guideline says that people who are living with obesity should have access to various evidence-based interventions, including surgery. It advises that bariatric surgery could be considered for individuals with a BMI of 40 or above as well as for those who have a BMI of 35 or above with at least one underlying obesity-related medical condition.

The decision to recommend bariatric surgery procedures, such as gastric bypass surgery, should be made after taking into account the patients health condition, estimated risks and benefits of the surgery, and the patients expectations.

The guideline highlights that obesity impairs health, reduces longevity, and increases medical complication risks.

Dangers of Obesity

The new Canadian clinical guideline says that obesity predisposes a person to the development of several health complications, including:

The guideline goes on to say that obesity has emerged as a serious public health issue over the decades, and it leads to increased costs of healthcare. In addition to experiencing physical and psychological challenges and increased mortality, people who live with obesity face social stigma and bias.

Health Benefits of Gastric Bypass Surgery

Permanent weight loss, improved body fitness, higher energy levels, enhanced physical appearance, and emotional and self-esteem benefits are some of the well-recognized advantages of gastric bypass surgery. But more importantly, the procedure will also provide numerous health benefits, such as:

Resolution or Long-term Remission of Diabetes

Gastric bypass surgery will either resolve your symptoms of type 2 diabetes or your hard-to-control diabetes condition may go into long-term remission. Most patients can expect to eliminate their dependence on insulin and other drugs post-surgery.

A Healthier Heart

Gastric bypass surgery will reduce your risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, and peripheral heart disease. With improved cardiovascular health, your cholesterol levels can become normal or close to normal, while your hypertension symptoms can be resolved.

Elimination of Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common ailment that patients of obesity suffer from. Gastric bypass surgery will help you restore your normal body weight, leading to elimination of your OSA symptoms. You may no longer need to use CPAP or other devices during sleep.

Relief from Depression

Anxiety or depression may occur in many people who struggle with obesity. Social stigma and poor self-image often exacerbate these problems. Gastric bypass surgery can help eliminate obesity, resulting in a dramatic improvement in your emotional and mental health. Gastric bypass before and after pictures can help you visualize how you might look after losing excess body weight with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.

Obesity is Determined by Health And Not Just Weight: New Canada Clinical Guideline - PR Web

Tia Mowry just revealed a 68-pound weight-loss transformation. On Tuesday, the actress posted a picture of herself wearing a gray turtle neck with a lengthy caption about her weight loss progress after giving birth to her daughter Cairo in 2018.

Im very proud that I did it my way and in my time. I didnt feel rushed to snap back. I enjoyed breast feeding and spending quality time with #Cairo and my son #Cree, she wrote on Instagram.

In 2018, Mowry announced she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and mastitis, which is inflammation of the breast tissue. Six months after giving birth to Cairo, she gave an update about postpartum life on Instagram.

Still breastfeeding and pumping while working. Has it been easy? No. However, Ive continued to push through #mastitis and working sometimes 16-hour days, she wrote in the caption. Do I still have a little pouch? Yes. Ever heard of #DiastasisRecti? Its when the abs separate during pregnancy. Shining a spotlight on this because I had never heard of it.

Mowry said that, when the time is right, she will go hard with core work to restore. Below, everything shes shared about her weight loss journey.

In July 2018, Mowry was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, a condition in which a moms blood sugar levels become too high during pregnancy. Although gestational diabetes typically goes away on its own, it boosts the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

Mowry shared a video of her working out postpartum following her diagnosis. I was lost for words. Never ever did I think, THIS could happen to me, she wrote. Time to get back on track. Making healthy choices and moving.

Mowry made it clear that she was going to move through her health journey on her own timeline. The actress shared a video of her working out and opened up about her progress in the caption.

The key to bouncing back is simple: stay motivated and work at your own pace!! Oh, and squats. Lots of squats. , she wrote, adding that trainer Marcela Kim was helping her get back into shape. She shared another video working out with Marcela in August, this time performing tricep dips.

In October 2019, Mowry addressed some online trolls who made comments about her body during and after her pregnancy.

#17months post pregnant. I did it my way and in my time. Many women feel the need to #snapback right away after they deliver. That was never the goal for me, she wrote. I was called fat during my pregnancy and I was called fat after my pregnancy. Why do we do this to each other? Instead of love one another other? I will never understand that.

I intentionally documented my journey and became vulnerable to show women that its okay to go at your own pace, it is okay to love yourself no matter where you are in your journey, she continued. Do not fold to societal pressures. After hard work with just diet and exercise, today Im closer to my goal. Do I have loose skin and stretch marks? YES. Guess what?? I LOVE all me and I want you to love all of you too.

In December 2019, Mowry was embracing herself postpartum, and encouraged other moms to do the same. She shared progress videos of her performing lunges, writing in the caption, Embrace yourself, ladies! ESPECIALLY after childbirth!! It took me #18months to start feeling myself again.

Everyone deserves to have the time to focus on themselves and their health and wellbeing, moms included. Mowry shared a progress video in December 2019 with an inspiring message to moms who think self-care is selfish. You asked and here you you go! More workout videos of my progress postpartum. Self-care isnt selfish ,she wrote alongside a video of her doing push-ups.

In the first week of January, Mowry was in the gym putting in work, even on the weekends. Happy weekend! I love to start off the weekend with a good sweat, she captioned a gym selfie. Even if you only have 20 mins, its an important part of your #wellness journey! GET MOVING.

While Mowry wrote that she was focusing on her core in February 2020, she also said she was embracing her body the way it is. Got it in! Working on my #core, she captioned a photo of her performing a lunge. Lets talk about the mid-section after pregnancy! It can be the most challenging! But Im having fun with it! Im not being too hard on my self. Im embracing the excess skin and stretch marks. Two amazing beautiful children were birthed and I rejoice.

Meditation is an amazing way to relieve stress and unwind, and Mowry is a fan of the practice. In March, she gave an update 22 months post-baby and said she was starting to feel even better, thanks to her healthy lifestyle.

Eating the right foods, working out, meditating and taking my supplements @shopanser For the past 3 years my body wasnt just for me. It was for my baby, she wrote in an Instagram caption. One year, prepping the womb, second year carrying, third, breast feeding my daughter. My point is, its okay to go at your pace to get back to you. Also, if it is a goal of yours, Im here to tell you, you can do it.

In March, Mowry further opened up about her meditation practice, saying she uses the Calm app. She also kept her mental health in check by spending more time in nature and FaceTiming with loved ones.

When it comes to my health, Ive been focusing on things that support my immune system system. Not forgetting to eat my veggies (frozen) and fruits loaded in vitamin C including supplements with zinc, garlic, and iron, she wrote. Im also working out out to help with immunity. Its amazing how many incredible apps are avail to help keep your body moving!

In July, Mowry shared that she has been taking Anser Vitamins (FYI, she created the brand). The past few months have been up and down, but @shopanser has always been such a joy for me because Im able to remind women that taking charge of their health is so important and deserved, she wrote on Instagram.

How Tia Mowry Lost 68 Pounds After Giving Birth: I Did It My Way and in My Time - Prevention.com

Dieting

Dieting is managing the consumption of food and drink with the intent to lose, gain or maintain weight. Diets like the Ketogenic and Paleolithic diet involve taking out certain food groups to boost or maintain your metabolism. Another diet that is now popular is the Sirtfood diet. This diet was used by Adele to yield her jaw-dropping weight loss results. The Sirtfood diet concentrates on certain food groups that activate sirtuins, which are proteins that control metabolism and other functions. Dieting should be practiced safely with guidance from a healthcare provider.

Color your plates

This method involves eating more vegetables and wholefoods. Eating healthier does not necessarily mean dieting. It does not completely excluding any food group but involves eating all food groups in a healthy balance. This could be implemented by meal prepping for the week to make it easier to eat healthier options when busy. It is alright to eat dessert once in a while, but be careful to not overindulge and start surviving on junk foods. Try to avoid processed foods that do not contain the essential nutrients present in a balanced meal.

YouTube workout videos

Exercising during the quarantine has become less than ideal with gyms being closed. But there are still ways you can work out at home using free resources available on YouTube. Some examples of popular fitness vloggers on YouTube are Emi Wong, Chloe Ting and Pamela Rief. These online workout videos are useful during the pandemic because they allow people to socially distance themselves and workout from their homes. Also, the videos allow the users flexible hours and workout when they are ready.

Activity center workout groups

There are group exercise sessions at the Activity Center throughout the week where students can work out together with the guidance of a fitness instructor. Because students are doing the exercises with each other, it becomes easy to stay motivated throughout the session. The Activity Center offers various workout session and intramural sports for students and users of the facility. In the wake of the coronavirus, the administration of the activity center has made changes like the required use of masks and social distancing while in the facility.
