The connection between one’s health and body weight
All the more increasing numbers of people residing in the developed countries begin to realize that the beauty and charming appearance directly depend on the state of the health.
One of the features of a healthy individual which can be seen at the first sight is his body weight.

In the present days the vast majority of scientists who conduct research in the field of the man’s health, rightly believe that a notion of good health is almost synonymous to a normal body weight. A slightly excessive weight, as they believe, is less hazardous for health (for women’s health in particular) than insufficient weight.

The connection between one’s health and life mode
The body weight is just one out of many indicators of the mode of life which a person chooses to lead. One’s mode of life can be determined by the following factors:
eating habits, number of hours spent on sleeping and rest as well as their quality, motion activity, specific features of one’s job and its content, level of psychological comfort.

Those people who advocate for healthy mode of life strive to increase the quality of their lives, strengthen and keep up their health as being healthy is not only a pleasant thing but also a rather advantageous one.

The connection between one’s mode of life and body weight
The weight of an individual depends on a number of factors. If we consider 100% of all factors, which influence and determine one’s body weight, about 30% of the total fall on heredity with another 30% determined by one’s upbringing in the childhood days. The remaining 40% of all factors directly depend upon the individual himself and the conventional choices which he has to make every single day of his life.
The good news is that those 30% of health-related factors which depend on one’s upbringing and eating habits acquired in one’s childhood can also be altered with the help of professional psychologists, nutritionists and fitness trainers.

Thus, it turns out that one’s weight is 70% dependant on a man himself! By choosing to form a new mode of life and new eating habits, one can achieve serious and permanent progress in relation to his weight control.

The formation of proper eating mode
It is alleged that a human’s brain has 2 centers. The first one is in charge of causing a feeling of hunger while the second one answers for the feeling of satiation. The hunger center is influenced by the inner and outer impulses.

To the inner impulses belong glucose level in one’s blood and signals from the stomach. The external impulses include information, which is transmitted by the visual, olfactory and gustatory receptors i.e. by one’s eyes, nose and tongue.

Each food intake is an emotional act and these emotions are positive. The first very satisfaction that a baby gets is the pleasure of sucking on his mother’s nipple and drinking milk.
Regretfully, food often becomes the only affordable pleasure that an adult can have. This is linked to quite serious restrictions, set up by our society which does not approve excessive striving to sexual relationships or expression of aggressive emotions.

The habit of feeling pleasure with the help of food is being formed from the very childhood of the majority of people when a weeping baby is given a candy in consolation.

Such mechanism leads to the grieving fact that a person reacts to each unpleasant event by eating more food than he needs as the correct feeling of hunger and satiation disappears.

The family in which a person grew forms certain eating habits which he adheres to in future. If in the parent family it was common to eat a lot of high-calorie food, then the person upon getting older still keeps on eating loads of fatty and sweet food as he thinks it to be normal!

Therefore in order to normalize and stabilize one’s body weight the professional assistance is absolutely essential in the way that nutrition experts can help a person to realize that he has got the bad eating habits and assist in forming newer ones, more healthy and useful.

Motion – the way of life
In order to control the body weight successfully it is important to understand one simple thing which means that our body must not only acquire energy but also consume it equivalently.

A human body is perfectly designed by nature. It was not created for sitting in the office or car but for jogging and swimming, jumping and crawling. The lack of motion called hypodynamia is as big threat for our health as overeating. In motion there is an increasing metabolism, higher consumption of calories, enforcement of blood supply of all muscles as well as their strength and endurance.
Motion is absolutely necessary for the figure of a person to be slender and harmonically developed.

Conclusion
A slender, flexible and healthy figure is an evidence of the financial, social and psychological well-being of an individual.
