MARRIAGE AND WOMEN'S WEIGHT GAIN

Married women were two kg heavier than their unmarried counterparts and they become four kg heavier after having a baby, said the research published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.


The researchers attributed the weight gain to cohabiting women eating unhealthier food because of their partners, while they also have less time to exercise.


Annette Dobson, who co-authored the study along with Wendy Brown and Richard Hockey, said: “This is a general health concern as obesity rates continue to increase.

“Getting married or moving in with a partner and having a baby are events that trigger even further weight gain. We must look at ways to prevent health risks by focusing on the times when women need to be especially careful.”

The research, conducted by the Queensland University in Australia, followed 6,000 women aged between 18 and 23 over a period of 10 years ending in 2006. Each woman periodically completed a survey with questions about weight, height, age, physical activity and alcohol consumption among others, the Daily Telegraph reported.

It found that 10 percent of woman gained five kg when she was single, but she would be seven kg heavier while living with a partner and 10 kg heavier if she had both a partner and a baby.

HAVE YOU MET YOUR 'MET'?

Dont think this is some kind of a joke- it is essential for those who want to loose their fat accumulated in their body and also for bringing down their weight to managable levels.

Whay is MET : met is METABOLIC EQUILANT. Energy which one spend at rst is said to equal MET. so levels of MET is linked to the physical activity. while gardening one could be working at MET 5 level. Walking leisurely may have one working at MET 3-5. This MET varies from person to person depending upon their age, basic lifestyle and it is completely different for physiologically unnormal person.

All kinds of physical activity spends energy. The spent energy is got from stored fat or from daily intake. The more energy spent then consumed the better. Simply put the deficit energy is got from the fat stored in the body. so more of deficit, more of fat loss and inturn weight loss.

As the intensity of the workout increases, fat decreases proportionately. A longterm calorie management and dsficit is crucial in weight loss and, weight management. A low intensity, long duration workout like walking at about 3 mph might burn around 150 calories, which is derived from fat stored in the body, after their glucose is depleted, first. If one work at a much higher intensity for about an hour, chances are he burns about 300 to 500 caloreis. 150 caloreis spent while low intensity long duration workout, is very easl to be replaced, while for 300-500 calories the inyake has to be naturally increased several fold. when the goal is weight reduction, no point in replenshing the energy spent. So eating a normal quantity and high intensity workout, will give the best result for weight loss.

A resent finding says that if one is capable of working at higher intensities, hen doing so will cause a continued increased comsumption of energy and therefore calories, post workout. This, at times may last for about 12 hours, post workout. at the same time, indications are, men, who worked at their optimum MET, their chances of heart attack is reduced by nearly 75 persent. Research also gives similar information for women.

As one exercises regularly, naturally his fitness level increases. With increased fitness levels his optimum MET also rises, accordingly. the more fitness the moe easier to do your workout. workout intensities are hard to be measured. The sugjactive measure liks "Talk Test" might put an inexperinced eserciser to over-estimate himself and end up by not pushing himself to his optimum MET level. This opyimum MET level is to odtained bt trial and error method. By experience, one should find his optimum MET level. As workout progress , over a period of time his MET level also increases.

This optimum MET level could not be sustained during the entire duration of the workout. The optimum level should be attained from time to time during the duration of the workout, by HIIT method. This is nothing but putting yourselves beyond your comfort level from time to time. this method increases your stamina in a very appreciable manner.

The human body is capable to any levels, provided it is challanged, when the optimum MET level is attained time and again able to maintain it for a longer period, one can push the body to higher levels.

For any reason, the workout schedule is broken and if it is restarted once again, the previous level could not be achived in the beginning of the restart period. One ahould pace his workout according to his present fitness level. As workout progress he should bring it back to his orevious optimum level. fitness level will deteriorate if not attended to. One should always be ready to accept new research findings and go by it, rescheduling his workout and aim for better results.
