WHY YOUR HAND BAG MAKES YOU FAT ?(high heels, alarm clocks, even your leggings!)
Among the things that will surprise you to know the common things that might effect us and the consequences to our body.
YOUR HANDBAGS
Cosmetic doctor Michael Prager, found some patients carry more fat on one side of their body, with the link where, patients often bring their BIG bag.
"Before I perform laser to remove fat, I measure the fatty part of the patient, so that we can measure how many inches lost after treatment," he explained.
"Many of my female patients carry more fat on one side of their body and their fat storage is not uniformly distributed. These women have striking similarities i.e carrying enormous size handbags .
Ivana Daniell posture experts says, "Doing more weight exercise in one part of the body , such as carrying heavy bags , can affect positioning and distribution of body fat.
The advice?
"Do not take so much of a burden. It affects your posture, and good posture makes you look slimmer. Change the bag from one to the other.
"With this, the fat will be evening of, and this will also reduce the pain in the neck, shoulders, and back."
Posture expert Ivana Daniell explains the observations from Prager on the impact of our heavy bags on our posture. From time to time, bad posture leads to the fat that is not in proper position.
"Posture affects where we store fat . If you do more weight exercise on one side of the body - such as carrying heavy bags - you do not just activate more muscle on one side, you also cause muscle and skeletal imbalance and this can affect fat distribution."
HIGH HEELS
Dalton Wong a Personal Trainer states:
"High heels can weaken your abdominal muscles, which causes abdominal contents spills out and causing pot belly."
He tells his clients to put their heels on the red carpet, and take it off after sitting. He advises walking around the house without shoes to strengthen muscles that have been weakened by wearing high heels.
FAKE TAN
Scientists in Sweden have discovered that chemicals known as phthalates to make us easier to add weight and were twice as likely to bring about diabetes. These chemicals are also found in make-up, cleaning products and plastic containers. can cause obesity to be absorbed into the body and sent throughout the body through the skin.
MULTITASKING
Professor Ryan Hamilton, conducted a study related with multitasking stated "Being busy affects the food choices you make,"
Personal trainer Dalton Wong, who trains Hunger Games actress Jennifer Lawrence. "If you are so busy you can not think clearly, you are more likely to choose coffee and biscuits for sustained energy. However, a snack that provides instant energy, will cause more stress and tiredness. Artificial sugars interfere with blood sugar levels of the body, leading to fatigue and sugar cravings, and more than two or three cups of coffee will cause your body of excess cortisol, a stress hormone. "
He advise not to eat a meal while distracted and should only take a snack with peanuts and fruit, or vegetables, so you really free from interference. "You do not chew properly since you are in a hurry, and this leads to flatulence."
LEGGINGS
Sammy Margo, a physiotherapist who worked with the England football team, has warned that Leggings are too tight can cause your muscles to be lazy, and this causes the stomach, bottom and legs are flabby. He added. "Leggings 'hold' and support muscular thighs, buttocks and core muscles in your abdomen, and 'replace' the task of the muscle. Hence, the muscles relax and not 'work'ing.
ALARM CLOCK
In a study published by, Roenneberg, a professor at the University of Munich's Institute of Medical Psychology .and colleagues analysed the sleeping habits of more than 65,000 adults. Two-thirds of them have social jet lag, having at least one hour difference between how long they sleep on weekdays and weekends.
For every hour of social jet lag, the risk of being overweight increased by about 33 percent. Various reasons causing obesity, Roenneberg said "A contributing factor is not living according to your biological needs. Nobody knows the exact mechanism, but other studies have shown that lack of sleep causes higher secretion of ghrelin, a hormone which increase the appetite and decrease leptin , a satiety hormone .
Our lives are controlled by two phenomena that occur in nature: internal circadian clock and the rotation of the earth.
Circadian clock system controlling various functions, including body temperature, hormone secretion and blood pressure. It also regulates daily the activities of our organs. Circadian clock must be fixed every day to ensure that it operates in cycles of approximately 24 hours. It is reset by sunlight and darkness, to give a signal to the brain via the optic nerve.
