Little Things That Make You Gain Fat by Saheedbakare(m): 6:55pm On Feb 28, 2022
1. Eating quickly:In today’s world people are busier than ever and tend to eat their meals quickly. Unfortunately, eating quickly might be making you gain fat. Studies show that people who eats their meals quickly are more likely to be overweight or obese. This is because it takes time for your body to tell your brain that it is full. This people who eat quickly can easily eat more food than their body needs before feeling full. If you’re a quick eater, try to consciously slow down by chewing more and taking smaller bites.


2. Not drinking enough water: Studies estimate that up to 16-28% of adults are dehydrated , with older people at an increased risk. Not drinking enough water can me make you thirsty . Interestingly, thirst may be mistaken as sign of hunger or food cravings by the body. In one study , scientists found that people who drink two cups of water right before breakfast ate 22% fewer calories at that meal than people who did not drink water.


3. Sitting too long: In western countries, the average adult sits for 9 to 10 hours per day. Although it seems harmless, studies show that people who sit longer are more likely to be overweight. In addition, they have higher risks of chronic diseases and early death. Interestingly, studies have also found that people who sit the longest don’t make up for the time they spent sitting with exercise.


4. Not getting enough sleep: Over a third of Nigerians don’t get enough sleep. Unfortunately, a lack of sleep is strongly linked to weight gain. This is due to many factors including hormonal changes and a lack of motivation to exercise. In one study scientist analyzed the sleeping habits of over 68,00 women over 16years. They discovered that women who slept fewer than 5 hours per night had a much higher risk of gaining weight than people who slept 7 hours or more.

Great tips. In addition to these tips, many don't also make time to exercise. Oftentimes, their excuse is either a lack of time or the routine has become boring.

Good thing I have fun fitness products available that makes exercising easy and fun to do. Ranging from electronic counting skipping rope, double straps waist trainer, intelligent Hula hoop amongst others. All available at a small price.

Remember, if you think health or wellness is expensive, try illness!
