How to change at the age of 30
Dr. Kapil Yadav (Professor, Community Medicine, AIIMS, New Delhi) says that screen time is the biggest challenge in today's time. You do not even realize that you keep browsing and scrolling for two hours. In some countries, internet media has been banned for children below 18 years of age. This is necessary for both physical and mental health. If you are busy for 12 hours, then you will not be able to exercise at home. You have to be physically active at the workplace itself. You can also remain active while commuting. For example, if you are traveling by metro, then definitely climb 50-100 stairs.
Poor eating habits increased the risk
The quality of food is deteriorating. People are getting addicted to processed, ultra-processed food. In such a situation, if a newly married couple is already obese, then the challenge of a healthy lifestyle becomes even more difficult for them. Because, their obesity is the result of bad lifestyle. Their children will also be a part of the same environment. It has to be understood that if one is becoming obese at a young age, then the risk of heart, kidney, hypertension, diabetes will also come at the age of 40-50 years. Today, problems like heart attack and stroke are being seen at a young age due to all these reasons.
Why is it difficult to treat diseases caused by obesity?
In densely populated urban areas, the problem of hypertension has penetrated almost every household. Even diseases like stroke or paralysis, which are difficult to treat and manage, are becoming a growing challenge. In view of the increasing obesity, we need to be alert about the new generation immediately. The facilities to go out and exercise in a park are ending. You are not able to ensure healthy food even if you want to. There are big question marks on the quality of all types of food. If people around you have developed such a lifestyle, then it will also come into your behavior. Today, walking for 10 minutes has become an exercise, which was a very common thing earlier. Walking for 10 minutes is not an exercise, but it should be a part of your daily routine.
Changes need to be made from childhood
Efforts should be made at school level for healthy diet and routine, change becomes difficult at the age of 25-30. Regulations regarding food items should be started at school level. Most canteens provide unhealthy and packaged food items. Chips, soft drinks etc. should also have warnings like cigarettes, so that people can be inspired to eat healthy. We must know the amount of sugar and salt inside the packet.
Try to keep your metabolism right
First of all, you have to accept your problem. For this, it is necessary to check weight and BMI at regular intervals. At least once a year, you should get your overall health checked so that you can know the correct state of health. To keep your metabolism healthy, you need to work on both diet and activity levels. Now the practice of cooking at home is rapidly ending. The size of the kitchen is getting smaller, this has to be brought back into practice. You have to motivate yourself for a healthy diet. You should try to give healthy food to small children in the morning. This arrangement should be made in private schools as well.
