Revisiting The Skinny On Health Copyright © 2006 Kamau Austin, All Rights Reserved DBA AdPro Media Sales http://www.healthandfitnessvitality.com Why it is more important to be healthy than it is to be thin? With the images of thin girls on the cover of all the magazines, the real question is whether being thin is healthy? Should we all aspire to be thin? The real fact is that the way our body appears is, to some extent, determined by our genetic structure. So some people are blessed by nature and other struggle with their weight. In addition, nature provides women with more fat than men for a reason. Fat is essential for reproduction, and therefore, fat stores are maintained on the female body in case of pregnancy. Good health requires an acceptance of the facts of both nature and genetics. In the face of all those incredibly thin women on magazine covers, it can be difficult to accept our own limitations and feel tempted to be very thin. According to Hollywood, a beautiful woman is one whose waist can be encircled by a person's arm. It is in trying to keep up with such misleading images of beauty that most of us ignore our health. We think only about resembling our Hollywood idols, and we end up weak and malnourished. Dr. Boobier, a lecturer at the University of Glamorgan who tours Wales talking to schools about health and food, has remarked, "Young girls, in particular, are looking at these images of stick-thin people in magazines, and they are saying that their bellies are a bit bigger than those in the magazines." This type of comparison can lead to anorexia and an intense fear of gaining weight, even when underweight. It drives those stricken with this disorder into a panic. Victims are oblivious to the actual state of their bodies. It is an incredibly dangerous situation. To avoid this situation, we should focus on our health and not accept magazines at face value. All of us wish for clear eyes, good skin, and a general feeling of well being. But this can only be achieved through good nutrition and by avoiding harmful yet alluring food products. Exercise and strength training make up the second component of good health. A final word of caution is that if you're not hungry, don't eat. That will help you keep from loading up on food just because it is available. If you want your body to last a lifetime, you must protect it. The advantages of providing that protection are innumerable. Care becomes especially necessary in middle age. It is at this time that your body begins to require a bit more maintenance and when it helps if your joints must support less weight. Along with exercise and a nutritious diet, there are some products that can help you lower the weight on your joints in middle age. Zalestra and Zyroxin are two products reported that can help you fight your weight concerns in your middle age years. You can investigate Zalestra and Zyroxin further online at Amazon and at http://www.BODeStore.com.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Kamau Austin is a health and fitness enthusiast and advocate.
