Too Much Body Fat: Ways to Reduce It

🔥 The principle behind achieving a healthy body weight lies in the amount of energy available in the body. When we consume high-calorie foods, they supply large amounts of energy. This energy may not be completely used by the body, and the remainder is stored as fat.

🔥 First principle: Limit the amount of calories you consume.
Processed and ultra-processed foods are high in calories. These are very common in grocery stores and include cake, burgers, ice cream, sweetened biscuits, shawarma, noodles, frozen pizza, Golden Morn, soft drinks, etc.

🔥 Limiting the intake of high-calorie foods reduces the amount of energy available in the body. When available energy is not enough, the body will look for extra energy. Do you know where that extra energy comes from? It will start to break down body fat to release energy, and in the process, it promotes weight loss 🫠
This principle is called creating a negative energy balance. Give the body less energy [dey chop small small] and it will burn the fat to promote weight loss 😊

🔥 Eat whole foods, fruits, and vegetables. These are rich in fiber. Although fiber can be regarded as a carbohydrate, it cannot be digested by the body ✍️ and this is good news. Fiber makes you feel full and at the same time doesn’t add extra calories to the body. Proteins also promote satiety while protecting the muscles as fat is burnt off.

Arthritis: Excess weight increases the risk of arthritis.

💥 Shella was just 40 when she started battling arthritis. She weighed 182kg.

💥 According to her, the rapid weight gain started after she gave birth to Oma. Five years later, she developed chronic joint pain that makes her uncomfortable every day.

🔥 Here’s why: The weight of your body is transmitted to your feet through your joints. With every bit of extra body fat, there’s more pressure on the weight-bearing joints. That added pressure increases wear and tear, and leads to joint breakdown.

🔥 This is another reason excessive body fat affects one’s quality of life. Imagine what Shella is going through.

✍️The good news: Even small steps to support weight loss can reduce this risk. Control your diet by limiting processed foods and junk food. Exercise to burn off extra calories, and you’ll love living a healthier life. Remember, every 1kg you lose equals about 4kg less pressure on your knees

Share this to a friend. It's a message from the joints 😊

Too much body fat raises your risk of cancer.

Cancer Research UK links obesity and excess weight to at least 13 cancers — including breast, colon, endometrial, and esophageal.
It is now the 2nd biggest preventable cause of cancer in the UK.

Our diets and lifestyles are driving the rise. As cancer becomes more common in our environment, our children are also becoming obese. The future we’re shaping looks concerning. Control your diet, move more freely today and live a healthier life.

INFERTILITY: How Excessive Body Fat Contributes to the Inability to Conceive

One way a woman may have trouble getting pregnant is an inability to ovulate. For pregnancy to occur, the egg is released (a process called ovulation) and fertilized by s***m (s***matozoa). When the egg is not released, conception cannot occur by natural means. This post will explain how too much body fat can contribute to ovulation problems and infertility, and the reasons keeping a healthy weight is a measure to support your reproductive health.

MEDICAL IMPLICATIONS OF TOO MUCH BODY FAT (OBESITY) 1

Should you be worried about excess body fat? Yes, you should.
Excess body fat is associated with several serious health conditions that not only cause millions of deaths but also reduce one's quality of life. In this series we shall explore some of the health problems that are linked with too much body fat (obesity) one after the other.

DIABETES (type 2 diabetes): This is one health problem associated with excessive fat accumulation.

Let's take a quick look at the problems of diabetes. Virtually every organ in the body is affected by this disorder. it is the number one cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide. Think about diabetic retinopathy – diabetes is a leading cause of blindness. Some limb/leg amputations are the results of diabetic ulcers. Diabetes increases the risk of stroke, heart problems, infection, and other serious complications

How is too much body fat linked with diabetes?

Excess body fat triggers inflammatory changes in fat cells. These changes affect insulin receptors that regulate the ability of the body to take up sugar. Consequently, the cells cannot use sugar, and sugar builds up in the blood causing frequent urination, excessive water intake, and increase appetite. As insulin is not working and sugar is not being used, the body begins to break down fat and protein to yield the energy it needs for its function. Unfortunately, some of these products are converted to sugar because the body thinks there is no sugar, not realizing the problem isn’t sugar, but insulin.

The action of insulin on the receptors that are supposed to permit the entry of sugar into the cells is blocked by molecules produced by the inflamed fat cells. Because insulin isn’t working, sugar cannot enter the cells. This is the reason too much body fat is considered a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes.

Burn less energy, GAIN MORE FAT

When dealing with the issues of excess body fat, it is important to know that what you eat isn't the only problem, the energy that remains unused also matters a lot. The food we eat supplies the body with fuel (energy) needed for its functions. When the energy is not used effectively, it is converted to fat for storage.

Physical activities increase the body’s consumption of energy and help maintain a healthy body weight by burning off daily extra caloric intake. Today, technology has made us more sedentary that many people do not take part in physical activities anymore.

The gradual abandonment of traditional farming and replacement with office work that involves prolonged sitting contributes to reduced energy use and increased fat deposition. Look at the trend: from the comfort of the house book an Uber or Bolt (Transportation Company) and the driver takes you to your destination, or board a public transport; from the bus stop, a tricycle (Keke) takes you down the street to the house. While in the house, open a mobile phone and scroll through social media (Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat) and spend the rest of the day chatting and watching comedy clips. This has become part of our everyday routine.

WHY DIETS MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT, factors that promote too much body fat 2

🔥Due to globalization, the choice of food we eat has gradually moved away from the healthy locally produced, minimally processed food to those that make us add too much fat. Who told us that noodles or shawarma is a better food than a plate of vegetable soup with 'eba'?

🔥The advancement in food technology and food security has led to the production of processed and ultra-processed foods, which are super rich in sugar, fat, and salt, but poor in fiber. Consumption of this high energy, high sugar sweetened foods and beverages supply the body with a huge amount of energy. As the body cannot use all the energy, it therefore stores the excess unused energy as fat. These foods are common in the grocery stores today and include cake, canned foods (Sardine, Geisher, corned beef), sweetened snacks (biscuits and cookies), instant noodles, hot dogs, energy drink, burgers, meat pie, shawarma, ice-cream, frozen pizza, golden Morn, cornflakes, etc.

🔥These foods are common in the West and a large number of them battle with the problems of obesity/overweight. As always, we are a people that love to copy western cultures howbeit the bad ones. [my children don't eat garri and soup, only golden mum, cornflakes, noodles, meatpies etc, and you think say na better food abi). today, these foods are found in our grocery stores and stored in the fridges. "you wan lose weight and you dey chop 2 sharwama every day, they combine am with coke. in the afternoon, you fry indomie take juice dilute am....madam, dey play, more weight dey come"

what you should know about these foods

💥most of these processed foods were created out of despiration to see people survive in a given situation, and initially not designed for a long-term use. for example, imagine soldiers in the time of war looking for ways to kindle fire to prepare food, which they will eventually abandon and flee for their lives. They faced a problem of food shortage, and hunger will deal with them more than the physical combat.
in trying to make food available and safe for people in such a difficult situation, food processing became an important area of scientific research. Foods were put in the cans (so it won't get bad within a short time) and most importantly, energy components in foods were extracted and molded into a small portable portion. the implication is this: Even if the potion is small, it contains a very high amount of energy; it's like taking one ball of 'swallow' that will give you the same amount of energy as taking a hundred balls.

💥around 1970s, food industries started manufacturing these in large quantities, and gradually patronage started growing and here we are; struggling with excess body weight because of excess energy we consum, and yet our groceries are filled with these 'obesogenic' diets

Factors that promote too much body fat

👂Excessive fat accumulation is influenced by numerious factors such as genetic, diets, environmental, and medical factors. In this section, we shall consider these factors one after the other.

🔥 Genetics: It is possible to identify a family member based on their appearance. "This is certainly the daughter of Akudo, look at her weight, she carry her mama body." It is also very common to hear these lines in the community "chai, i said it! blood does not lie, he is a carbon copy of the father" When children resemble theirs parents, it is on the basis that the children inherited certain raw materials from the parents during their formation in the womb. these raw materials that determine who the child becomes in both physical appearance and other characteristics such as height, skin colour, weight etc., is called Genes

💥Genes also regulate various metabolic processes in the human body from basal metabolic rate to eating behaviors, hormonal controls, etc. Some people inherit genes that promote excessive fat accumulation. When this gene is acquired, it raises the tendency of the fat cells to rapidly increase in size (hypertrophy), and also to multiply rapidly (hyperplasia) when conditions are favourable.

💥here it gets a lot more interesting. For the fat cells to increase in size and multiply, they need energy. It is energy that drives the whole processes, and this is gotten from the food we eat. As harmony exists in nature, when we eat, the energy we derive from food is first used to "service" those essential functions that are vital for survival. but when certain amount of energy is left unused, the gene turns on fat formation.

🔥on the other hand, inheriting such genes can make the person to eat more or crave certain high energy rich food so that there will always be an extra energy, which will be used for fat synthesis.

HOW DOES EXCESS BODY FAT OCCUR?

Fat accumulates in the body following an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. When the number of calories (from food) exceeds the amount utilized by the body, a net positive energy balance is created. The extra energy (unused) is converted into fat and stored in the body. This is the origin of weight gain.

in a clear and simple way, the food that we eat gives us energy, which is needed to carry out various functions in the body like walking, running, heat beat, thinking, seeing, hearing, food digestion and every other function we carry out as living thing. take note: the energy is gotten from the food we eat.

when the available energy (from the food we eat) becomes excessive (because our body couldn't use all of them), the body stores what is left as fat.

the above information is very important as it forms the basis for a clear understanding on the issue of too much body fat.
