How to remain slender working in office

Office workers quite often complain, that feel like hens in a couveuse. Scientists inform, that him would be much better - physically and mentally - to feel like hamsters.
The obesity is a scourge of those who sits at a desk. The answer as the American experiment testifies, is those: when your fingers run on the keyboard, burning a minimum quantity of energy, your legs should run on a training path.
As though work in itself not a training path! Nevertheless, scientists have developed a mobile workplace. A table named a vertical workstation, it is possible to put on a wheel which the worker can rotate, assimilating to the seamstress with the old-fashioned sewing machine or imitating a fluffy rodent in a cell.
Table have tested on 14 women and one to man which suffer an obesity, in Clinic Majo, a medical centre of science in Minnesota. The results published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine, have shown: tested "hamsters" have dumped up to two kgs for a year.
Sitting at a table and poke in the keyboard, you burn no more than 72 calories at one o'clock, scientists have established. But, moving a table on a wheel on a training path, the worker passes the distance equivalent to one mile at o'clock, burning 191 calorie. Average at sitting has made augmentations of the charge at walking in group of 119 calories at one o'clock.
Scientists have designed a tubular steel table in the form of letter H. From below four locked rubber wheels have been attached, allowing to move on office racetrack. On one mobile board sideways there is a monitor, and on another - the keyboard and a mousy. According to designers, on a table there is a place for a vase, cups, a glass with pens and a tray for papers.
About the same result it is possible to achieve if to force employees to adhere notebooks to rudders of bicycles and to work on road to office. A minus one - potential body height of road and transport incidents.
That scientists have thought up such device, means nothing for Americans who bind that they eat, with that, how many they weigh.
Authors of work draw such conclusion: if time of sitting behind a computer to replace with work during walking, the power consumption can be increased by 100 kcals at one o'clock.
They assert, that if the workers, suffering an obesity, went, instead of two - three hours per day sat before the computers, and "if other components of energy and balance were constants", there would be an appreciable loss of weight.
Scientists assert also, that tables are popular at volunteers. "The vertical workstation and walking are well transferred to a training path all examinees, there were no traumas, falling and instabilities", - is spoken in the report.
There has not come yet that day, at least in Britain when at each office there will be a training path and employees, burning energy, will be daily hour or two she to use. But the huge potential is already looked through: if all office pathes to connect with a national power supply system, thick clerks can shine city in size with Rochdale.
But to deceive always it is possible. Who does not know the colleague on office which for certain will get on a path with cheeks bags, complete nuts?
Fulfil it


  • Stand during meetings.

  • Use a ladder, instead of the lift.

  • Do not send colleagues of the letter by e-mail - go and see them.

  • Be wrung out at the copier.

  • Use packs of a paper on 500 sheets of format A4 as dumbbells.

  • Serially lift legs, speaking.

  • In a lunch break go on walk, instead of to a pub.

  • On a regular basis alternate circulation by standing.

  • Blink time in five seconds; the monitor can force to look you not nictating.

You may look thin – and be too fat

If actually it is necessary to take into consideration not external appearance and a parameter of weight, and that at us inside, how it is found out, many thin people suffer dangerous … an obesity.

Today some doctors count, that internal Adeps around of the vital bodies, such as heart, a liver or a pancreas, invisible to the naked eye, can be so dangerous, as well as more obvious for environmental hypodermic Adeps of the majority of fat men.

"To be thin externally means automatically to be corpulent", - doctor Dzhimmi Bell, the professor of molecular medicine from Imperial college in London marks. Since 1994 Bell and his group have scanned about 800 person with the help of devices of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and have frameed "fatty maps". These maps show, where this or that person has adiposity.

On their data, at people bolstering weight with the help of a diet, instead of physical exercises, can render large stocks of internal Adeps even if on a kind these people seem harmonous. "As a whole it is necessary to reconsider radically such concept as the corpulent person", - speaks Bell, whose work is financed by the British Council of medical researches.

Without clearly seen signals, such as, for example, the approximated waist, thin people can lull the vigilance, false believing, that as they do not suffer excess weight, means - they are healthy. "That someone thin, yet does not make his protected from Diabetum or other risk factors connected to illnesses of heart" - doctor Lui Tajchholts, the head of cardiological branch of clinic Hakensek in New Jersey considers.

Even people with a normal index of mass of a body (BMI - the standard measure of definition of an obesity, pays off in such way: the mass of a body shares on body height in a square) can have unusually a high level of internal fatty adjournment.

Among the women scanned by Bell and his colleagues, more than 45% of what BMI is in norm (20-25), actually have excessive stocks of internal Adeps. Among men this parameter has made almost 60%.

Such people Bell names TOFI (thin outside, fat inside), that is thin outside and thick inside. "The person is more thin, it is more surprise", - he marks, informing, that thin fat men are even among professional models.

Nevertheless, the majority of experts till now count, that the normal weight is a parameter of good health, and that BMI is to a wave an authentic estimation.

Psychological aspects of a set of excess weight

Diets do not help, it is necessary to try to influence itself psychologically.

It is considered, that many our illnesses are caused by psychological factors. In particular, psychologists sometimes explain completeness of the person a disadvantage of love to or simply laziness. In fact that it is fine to look, and including to have a faultless figure, it is necessary to work hard, at times even to change character.
How many will power it is required to us to be kept and not eat a superfluous slice of a high-calorie pie or an appetizing roll. Therefore many resolve to themselves " last time ", then more and more … But when the waist blurs, and on hips there are superfluous kgs, again to come in the former form already much more difficultly. From here there is a constant anxiety for the figure which so is well familiar practically to each woman.
Constant stress - the eternal satellite of people with excess weight. To complete people is at all so "cosy and quietly" as "thin" inhabitants frequently believe. All of us "cook" in the huge boiler of society which from first days of birth tries "to adjust" each of us to an average sample, to average behaviour and appearance. Excess weight is in the certain sense a call to a society, so, and a target for superficial and categorical judgements.
It is necessary for child inclined to an obesity to have iron self-control to go through all sneers from the coevals, frequently problems imposed on a caused illness with health. Children, suffering completeness as the Canadian psychiatrists recently have noted, estimate quality of the life at the same level, as well as oncologic patients. Besides complete guys are more often than others are in an epicentre of conflicts. Especially uneasily it is necessary girls - fatties in 5 times quarrel with the girls, than them coevals with normal weight more often.
Maturing, chubby person meets new versions of aggression on the part of a society, accustomed to explain an obesity only passion to contents of a refrigeration cabinet. A little that has changed progress. Ancient Greeks and the Romans possessed by a cult of beauty of a body, confiscate saddles at the grown fat cavalrymen. Presently some airlines force passengers suffering by a chronic obesity to pay at purchase of air tickets for two places, and many organizations enter penal sanctions for employees with excessive weight.
The fear to grow fat sometimes provokes mass psychosises. For example, today each fourth American uses pills for growing thin, is perfect in them not requiring. And the gauge of beauty imposed to a society from the screen of the TV and journal covers, results in real tragedies.
The term "anorexia" for the first time used in 1988, knows now, perhaps, each girl, in fact in 95 % of cases is the female illness overtaking mainly in an early age. The woman can have an ideal figure, but the fear to lose precious 90-60-90 provokes so-called chronic " phobia of meal ", inducing absolutely to refuse nutrition. An anorexia - the same dangerous illness for an organism, as well as an obesity. Psychological problems promptly cause physiological - weakening of immunity, disbalance of an alimentary system, a deaquation.Contrast of an anorexia is the bulimia - the uncontrolled consumption of nutrition accompanying with unsatiable feeling of famine. The Spanish scientists recently have established, that one of the reasons of a bulimia at teenagers are divorced parents. The fear of loneliness and fear to repeat the vital script of the senior generation forces teenagers to search for a consolation in meal.
If relatives and close people do not find out in time "starting" attributes of a bulimia or an anorexia patients get in a vicious circle of which it is difficult to get out without the help of the experienced psychiatrist. Therefore study to love itself and in all to keep "golden mean". Try to develop for itself the individual plan of struggle against excess weight and steadily to follow it. In fact, as they say, the best way of growing thin what you are ready to adhere all life.

How to win a cellulitis

I have found the detailed description of such disgusting thing as a cellulitis.

Cellulitis: the reasons of occurrence and a technique of treatment

Men should be grateful to the happy star (more truly, unique anatomy of a skin) - approximately 90% of adult women on a planet face with a problem of a cellulitis! Annoying "orange-peel" - relief piling skins - appears on hips, breeches, legs and even a stomach more often. A cellulitis - hardly probable not the most known and wide-spread cosmetic defect, a scourge divine which will always pursue women.
Cellulitis does not spare anybody - neither harmonous pretty girls with modelling appearance, nor corpulent mothers of family. The sizes and parameters for it have no value. And though displays of a cellulitis can be reduced for a while with the help of any procedures, creams or dietary additives, it angrily cannot be eradicated finally, as mechanisms causing it - the "delayed-action bomb" incorporated in an organism of each woman. Frequently time of the destructive explosion leaving on a skin prominence and hollows depends on us only.

Cellulitis: the reasons of occurrence

Many women wrongly accept a cellulitis for adjournment of a fatty tissue and count this defect result of a hyperalimentation or neglect fitness. Ah, if all was so simply! According to the dermatologist from Los Angeles, the doctor of medicine and the author of book The Cellulite Solution ("the Agent from a cellulitis") Howard Murad, the cellulitis and fatty adjournment carry out completely different roles in layers of a skin.
"The first and basic function of a fatty tissue - to serve as protection and a source of reserve energy for bodies, - doctor Murad. writes in the book - At reduction of habitual volume of consumption of nutrition the organism automatically starts to scoop energy from own stocks - a fatty layer. When you keep to a low-calorie diet, Adeps disappears from different sites, however, to regret, the cellulitis all the same remains".
Make a deep inspiration before hastening in a sports hall for intensive trainings which as you hope, will help to get rid of a cellulitis. "At loss of weight, without dependence from the used program of growing thin or a diet, the interest of Adeps in an organism decreases, but the cellulitis still remains on the place, - doctor Murad. continues it speaks that the organism cannot use Adeps which as in a trap is kept in a hypodermic as power fuel".
And though an irrational feed and neglect sports in themselves yet do not result in occurrence of a cellulitis, the augmentation of consumption of nutrients and loss of fatty adjournment on extremely measure will help to reduce its displays. "The unhealthy way of life results to that in due course displays of a cellulitis can be shown even more strongly. Addition of weight, the unhealthy feed, insufficient consumption of water, smoking and laziness - all this at all does not promote beauty of a skin", - experts American Skincare and Cellulite Expert Association (ASCEA) assert{approve}.
"As it is paradoxical, in some cases the diet and fitness can worsen only a condition of a cellulitis", - doctor Kochi Tang, the foundress of medical interior High Maintenance in Las Vegas, Nevada considers. Loss of the basic fatty layer can stimulate promotion of a cellulitis closer to a skin. "Therefore the surface of a skin becomes even more unattractive tuberous", - she considers.
The cellulitis begins at the first level of a dermal tissue known as a hypoderm or a hypodermic fatty layer. It arises, when fatty cells are enlarged in sizes, form inspissations and rise to a surface of a skin, passing through a hypodermic of Adeps. However that inspissation of fatty cells causes? In opinion of the doctor of medicine and a member of a royal society of surgeons US, plastic surgeon J. Hurwitz, on development of a cellulitis the combination of such factors, as genetic predisposition, a hormonal background and circuits of loss of weight influences.
Ageing - one more inevitable factor of occurrence cellulitis. On data ASCEA, "ageing results to thinning and loss of elasticity of a connecting tissue of a skin and the top fatty layer. In result, displays целлюлитта become more appreciable". Especially stimulate development of a cellulitis hormonal changes like what we experience during a puberty, pregnancies, PMS and in the first months of use of contraceptive agents.
According to doctor Murad, men are protected from this disaster with smaller quantity of Hormonum of an estrogen in an organism. One more reason of that a cellulitis remains a prerogative of a womens, - a continuous vertical locating of tanks in which fatty adjournment in a hypodermic at women collect. "At men fatty tanks are posed by small groups on a diagonal that allows not only to disperse fatty adjournment, making their less appreciable, but also practically on 100% prevents development of a cellulitis", - he writes.
About genetic predisposition doctor Murad in the book fairly notices: "If from a cellulitis your mum was excruciated, means, and you hardly will manage to avoid this misfortune".

Excess weight away from me!

Excess weight is terrible illness and I start to struggle with it!

The obesity at any person arises then when consumption of energy exceeds its expenses for a long time. Very insignificant, but constant superfluous consumption of energy results in the expressed accumulation of a fatty tissue in an organism.
So, the use only 5% of "superfluous" calories can promote accumulation about 5 kg of a fatty tissue one year. If within 30 years consumption exceeds expenses of all for 8 kcal in day, it can result in augmentation of mass of a body at 10 kg. These digits reflect an average level of augmentation of weight within 30 years (with 25 till 55 years) at adults.
The obesity can overtake even not predisposed people to it - influence of a modern civilization of consumption on all and everyone is too great.
Obesity - chronic disease which began one of the basic problems of public health services in the majority of industrially advanced countries. Morbid the obesity gets really menacing scales from for inevitable development of the hardest accompanying diseases which are taking place in a direct relationship of cause and effect with superfluous mass of a body. In the United States, the obesity is the reason approximately 300000 deaths.


Horror! And now I too have this problem. But I sure, that shall cope with it...
