| Several lifestyle factors are contributing to Singapore’s ever-growing weights and waistlines |
According to a director at HPB, the country could hit obesity rates of 15 per cent in just seven years. Worst of all, even if she engages in regular exercise, sedentary lifestyle in different stages of a woman’s life could still be adding to your belly fat.
A sedentary lifestyle affects every woman at every stage of her life, whether or not they are active.
• Too Much Stress
• Lack of Sleep
• Depression
The demands of having a career and managing a family may cause many women’s bodies to go into crisis mode. As a result, the body begins to slow down and store fat. When daily life deprives you of sleep, your body can't work to its best ability. The body's reacts to a lack of sleep also by storing fat. The vicious circle starts with many women engaging in what is called "emotional eating." This is a response to high stress and an attempt to fill a void in your life through food. Comfort foods such as chocolate and other sweets may soothe self-diagnosed “depression”, but you start storing the weight gain in your thighs, butt and hips.
• Not Eating Enough
• Eating "Low-Fat" Foods
• Fad Diets
The quest to lose weight often can do more harm than good. A reason why many women gain weight is because they don't eat enough. When you aren't consuming enough food, the metabolism slows down and the body begins to store fat. Female dieters may be seduced by packages with the words "low-fat" printed on them. However, these low-fat foods often contain as many calories as normal food items. Not all fats are bad for you. Fatty acids like those contained in flaxseed oil help you to maintain your metabolism and curb unhealthy food cravings. The popularity of low-carb diets such as Atkins cause fiber deficiencies that many dieters are unaware about. Fiber is essential to maintaining a healthy weight. Not only does fiber promote bowel health, it also gives you a feeling of fullness which helps you to eat less.
• Birth Control
• Pregnancy
• Menopause
A woman is bound to gain weight at different stages of her life. Most women in their 20s to 30s, inevitably gain weight during pregnancy because your body needs to provide nutrients for the baby too. However, many women consume too many calories when they are expecting. Guided by the idea of "eating for two," many women overeat and gain more weight than is recommended. A healthy woman with an average body weight should eat an extra 300 calories. On the other end of the spectrum, when she decides not to have babies, taking a new birth control pill may cause weight gain as well. Weight gain is a very common side effect of most contraceptives. During menopause in late 40s, the hormonal changes may cause an increase in appetite and lead to weight gain. Your changing body composition may also make it more difficult to lose any excess weight.
