Weight Control With Hypnosis
Today our lives are sedentary; we sit at our desks to do our work, mostly. We dont need to consume as much energy so we dont need to eat as much. We were meant to be active and exert our bodies to consume the energy from our food. We have to remember that, in terms of evolutions time-scale, we are a recent event. We have created an environment for ourselves which, to a very large extent, is unnatural for us. So our bodies have not had the time to naturally cope with the changed conditions. Being Over-weight Over-weight people store an amount of fat which is not necessary for survival. Being over-weight is not necessarily being obese, but obesity is an extreme case of being over-weight. As we age, we tend to eat the same amount of food that we ate when we w dentaworks ere more active, and we are also less able to do the same activities. This produces the weight gain that most adults see when they age every ten years. The amount of over-weightness can be measured by the Body Mass Index (BMI). This number basically tells us if we have just enough fat to be healthy or if we have too much excess fat. A normal or healthy range for your BMI should be 18.5 to 25. Someone who is over-weight tends to have a BMI in the range 25 to 30. An obese person has a very high BMI, usually above 30. Anything above 40 is dangerously high and the person runs the risk of premature death. Some people may have a fat gene which predisposes them to store more fat than others. However, having a gene does not excuse a person from poor eating habits.
