Overcome the Obesity

Hi Friends when is the last time you did proper exercise? Most of us in IT industry especially get glued to our desktops-laptops-notebooks & missing out on little essentials of life. How about a refreshing walk in the outside? New studies have shown that an hour long regular walk proves to be a boon for those fighting the fat. Scientists have proven that regular walks can reduce the influence of genes which are considered to cause obesity, by down-regulating the gene expression. This conclusion was reached after a recent study which involved ten thousand people with a genetic predisposition to obesity. It was conducted by the Department of Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, USA.

Dr.Qibin Qi, a lead researcher of study said that regular walks could reduce the BMI by half. In contrast those who get stuck to the sofa watching TV/surfing net for up to four hours a day may have their genetic risk of obesity increase by 50%. Walking not only reduces your risk of obesity, it has lot of other health benefits including strong toned muscles, healthy heart, better stamina and cheerful disposition.

Keep Walking, Keep Walking…..
