Merry Christmas

Its that time of the year when the song-"Something in the air" by Grayson Sanders, Jono Feat & Lauriana Mae (New Coca-Cola Christmas Commercial Music)is most suitable to the occasion. Its the time for parties, get-togethers, dancing and having fun. But this season also brings in a whole range of high calorie foods, the consumption of which in unrestricted quantitities can lead to lot of lifestyle based diseases like obesity.

So what could be the possible solution? The answer depends on the metabolic rate of a person. If the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of a person is high, he can consume an extra serving of these food stuffs like ice-creams, sweets, chochlates, soft drinks (carbonated drinks) etc. On the other hand, if a person has got a low BMR then, he must be cautious about the quantities of these food stuffs he consumes. Because such a person takes a longer time to convert the fats and complex carbohydrates into simpler substances, which can be easily absorbed by the body & even after this process is accomplished, there is a high probability that these simpler substances will get converted into triglycerides and get stored in the liver & other parts of the body like abdomen, thighs calf muscles etc. The heavier a person becomes, the more sedentary he becomes and finds it very difficult to lead an active lifestyle, like participating in some sports, fast paced aerobics, etc. Gradually it may also lead to osteo-arthritis.

So enjoy the festive season with a little thought towards your health. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year 2014.
