To improve yourself? Or to get despondent?
Last week, I saw an article on newspaper about ranking of successful diet.Since I was born in an industrial country with satiation, I'm also the one who is concerned about such things.At the same time, come to think of it, I've never worked on a diet.I mean, I try to control my weight for health and better figure.For example, the next few days I overeat, I exercise more and I take plant-based diet.But I've never tried to lose extra weight.Because I learned about body mass index on textbook of home economies, and I grasped my proper weight before I became conscious of weight, and since then, I've tried to avoid gaining weight more than proper weight.Of course, I'm not asserting that body mass index is absolute.Even so, one of the important ways to avoid negative concerns is to grasp objective fact.Otherwise, you worry that you are fat or thin under wrong assumption.When I had psychotic depression, I became anorexic and lost eight kilos in one year-Then I had hypoferric anemia, and it took about eight years until hemoglobin value and serum iron value came back to normal level.As for me, it was one of the processes of psychotic depression, not anorexia from excessive diet.But if you pursue superficial beauty and damage your health, it leads to lose both capital and interest, so I suppose...:If you want to lose weight, you should find your proper weight first.If you are overweight, then you can set your goal.There are people who are overweight and don't admit it, making excuses that eating is stress release, they worry about relationship and cannot refuse invitation to go for a drink and dinner, blah-blah-blah...then I have no idea how to pursuade such ostriches good at justification.If your weight is proper, then your wish to be thinner could be wrong -Maybe from a kind of inferiority complex or self-consciousness, then you'd need to work on such problems instead of diet.Fortunately, so far, it's more important for me to keep proper weight and figure than try to lose extra weight.However, I know that metabolism declines as I get older.So I need to know how to prevent from gaining weight from now on.In the first place... ・When I was a high-teen girl, I happened to read a document article; a girl at about my age was influenced by friends around her and tried an excessive diet, and suffered from anorexia, until she was about to die once and recovered.This article pointed out that there are too many conflicting stirring information on media these days, while anorexia seems to be dismissed as due to family problems:With gourmet information, they stir up to eat.With articles about diet and skinny entertainers -especially girls, they stir up to thin down.With the lapse of time... there are criticism of using overly-thin entertainers,But still there seems to be a tendency that especially girls compare themselves with skinny and obviously unhealthy entertainers, and try to lose weight meaninglessly.・I've wondered why some eating houses and restaurants serve far more food -especially rice and staple carbohydrate food, than we can eat.Besides, noodle and rice, meat and vegetable pancakes and rice -too much carbohydrate intake, which increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease.-How about in other industrial countries?Recently, I've found more and more restaurants we can enjoy healthy meal with reasonable price, though.・Before my psychotic depression was discovered, the symptom started with anorexia and frequent nausea.On the other hand, back then, I remember barely that one of the fellows texted me that she had gained five kilos due to stress.Why do some people lose appetite and some people increase appetite because of stress?Whichever, bad stress is harmful for your health.You may as well find good method to cope with stress other than eating, And grasp your healthy condition including weight and figure, and practice methods to maintain. I'd also like to demand media to provide proper information.-Me? When I had anemia, medication didn't agree with me, so with the doctor's advice, I read easy books about nutrition and tried to heal myself with food I eat in daily life -this is another story this time, though.◇:Ready to place translation if asked
