Why shouldn't you exercise to lose weight?
Robert J Davis wrote in the British "Time" that exercise - at least the kind most of us do - is usually ineffective for weight loss.
Take walking, for example. A person who weighs 150 pounds (about 68 kilograms) and walks briskly for 30 minutes will burn an average of about 140 calories.
That equals one can of soda, which isn't exactly a big return on your investment of time and effort, and it's much easier to skip a can of soda.
In general, studies show that moderate-intensity aerobic exercise such as walking 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week - the recommended amount for good health - usually leads to little or no weight loss.
When you add moderate exercise to the diet, the results are not as effective.
By pooling data from 6 trials, the researchers found that the combination of diet and exercise did not lead to greater weight loss than diet alone after 6 months.
Davis says that in studies where exercise led to significant weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session over 5 or more days a week.
To achieve this, a 150-pound person would need to walk at least 90 minutes per day of brisk walking or 30 minutes of running.
In short, sessions should go beyond what most of us are willing or able to do.
Even if we could put in that much effort, our bodies often compensated by increasing appetite and decreasing metabolism, effects that over time limit the pounds we shed.
Davis added that when exercise fails to meet our expectations for weight loss, we often lament and give up.
In a study of 30 overweight people who took part in a 12-week exercise program, when interviewed afterward, the response was typical: "It was very frustrating that I didn't lose a single pound...it made me give up."
Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising in order to lose kilograms is that it turns physical activity into a punishment, which is the price we have to pay for a slim body.
How many times have you heard someone say (or have said to yourself) "I'm going to need to exercise extra" after eating a lot during the holidays?
We treat exercise as a form of self-punishment for being "bad".
By framing the exercise as a punishment, we are unlikely to enjoy it or keep doing it for very long.
The right thing to do is to look at exercise positively and do it to improve our well-being rather than lose weight.
For some of us, the stimulus may be better mood or lower blood pressure, and others may find that exercise makes them feel stronger physically and mentally or more in control of their lives.
The benefits of physical activity
Of course, the benefits of physical activity extend far beyond that.
Physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, dementia, depression, colds, back pain, osteoporosis, and premature death, and it can also improve sleep, increase energy, stave off aging and improve our sex lives.
What's more, while it's not very helpful in shedding excess weight, exercise can prevent weight gain and improve your appearance by increasing muscle mass and reducing visceral fat, the kind indicated by a large waist that is linked to heart disease and diabetes.
So, by all means try to exercise regularly in 2022, this is probably the most important thing you can do for your health.
But to improve your odds of success, focus on seeing movement as helping you feel better physically and emotionally, and forgetting about the effect of exercise on weight.
How does obesity occur?
Nutritionist Malak Murad, from the Primary Health Care Corporation in Qatar, said in previous statements on the foundation’s Facebook page that although there are genetic, behavioral, metabolic and hormonal effects on body weight, obesity occurs as a result of an energy imbalance between the calories that enter the body and the calories that enter the body. Burn it, and eat more calories that exceed the rate of burning through exercise and usual daily activities, so the body stores these extra calories as fat.
The causes of obesity related to daily habits are due to:
unhealthy diet
A high-calorie diet that lacks fruits and vegetables, is full of junk food, and is crammed with high-calorie drinks and very large portions of food, contributes to weight gain.
liquid calories
People can eat a lot of calories without feeling full, especially the calories in canned juices and sweetened soft drinks, which can contribute to significant weight gain.
idle
If you have a sedentary lifestyle, you can easily get in each day more calories than you burn during exercise and daily routine activities.
Obese people are more likely to develop a number of serious health problems, including: type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or digestion problems, and it also affects female reproduction, as well as cardiovascular diseases and some types of cancer.

How do you get rid of the rumen without it?
Nutritionist Malak Murad says, "We do not recommend it unless it is the solution or the last option, so that the body mass index is more than 40, that is, obesity was excessive and resulted in chronic diseases, but we must try and commit to changing bad eating habits and following a healthy diet, and that The long-term negative effects of these operations.
And she adds, "Doing a healthy diet, that is, focusing on eating low-calorie and high-nutrition foods, for example, fruits, vegetables and whole grains, avoiding eating saturated fats and limiting sugar intake, and also eating 3 regular meals a day with snacks, and sticking to the long term." By monitoring what you drink and food, exercise, and serious and actual commitment to them; surely by continuing to do this, people who are overweight and obese can get rid of these accumulated fats.
What are the causes of obesity in children?
The German Obesity Society said that obesity in children has several causes, most notably the body’s acquisition of many calories through nutrition, and the low rates of burning them due to lack of physical activity, and this leads to the accumulation of excess fat in fat cells.
The association explained - in statements to the German news agency - that hormones related to growth and energy balance also play an important role in obesity, such as the thyroid hormone (thyroxine), which regulates metabolism and body temperature. Too little of this hormone, the weight will increase.
The hunger hormone leptin is formed in fatty tissue and tells the brain how much energy is being stored.
And if the fat mass is broken down and the level of “leptin” decreases as a result, this hormone releases the feeling of extreme hunger, and then the child wants to eat.
The association warned of the danger of obesity for children, because it increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and causes a disorder of fat metabolism, non-alcoholic fatty liver and cardiovascular diseases, as well as a negative impact on the psychological state and self-confidence.
To diagnose obesity in a child, the body mass index, known as BMI, is calculated, that is, an estimate of the percentage of body fat by determining body weight in relation to body size, taking into account age and gender.
The association indicated the possibility of combating obesity in children by modifying the diet, that is, by staying away from fatty foods and fast food, as well as persevering in sports and motor activities.
