Weight gain is probably one problem which is giving many people sleepless nights these days. With increased awareness about weight problems, people have come to know that how dangerous their excess can be for them. So rather than gaining weight and later repenting it, here are 5 causes of weight gain, so read on and try to avoid them.

1. Crash dieting: a few years back women swore by it. Whenever any function or event is nearing, just don’t eat and lose weight to look slim at the event-this is a big myth. Doing crash dieting and starving yourself would initially make you lose a few kilos, but after that you will not be able to reduce any weight because it would slow down our metabolism and a result you will not be able to lose any more weight.
2. Stressful life: living under constant stressful conditions is another major factor which contributes to weight gain. When you are stressed out your body starts storing fats. Also most people, especially women tend to binge on food when they are under stress, which again increases weight.
3. Erratic sleeping pattern: sleeping for 6-8 hours a day is not only essential for your beauty, but also for maintaining your weight. If you suffer from lack of sleep then better seek medical help as it could lead to weight gain. Also, if you work late at night, try to get the adequate sleep at least in the day.
4. Living on restaurant food: no matter how bad it tastes or much you are bored of it, a home cooked meal is any day better than food bought from outside. If you like certain dishes at the restaurant, try to make them at home yourself. When you do that, you will use fresh oil, vegetable and other ingredients which would account for a healthy meal. You never know what type of oil or vegetables are being used in your neighborhood restaurant.
5. Sweet tooth: ok so you like sweets, but try to control your urge and have them only once in a while. Sugar contains glucose which gives you instant energy. So when you consume sweets, you are taking in a lot of calories and the more you take the more time it’ll take you to burn them off.

Well frankly speaking I am a lover of good food. Some of my friends blame this love for the reason behind my obesity. So today I decided to look for some online place where I can get some information about diet, and I reached to Diet reviews.

Basically this site is a place for diet pill and information on weight loss program. The best part of this site is that it is providing an open space to its visitors where they can review these types of products or programs and based on those reviews they will be ranked accordingly. This is quite interesting as it utilizes the concept of user participation.

They provide three types of voting facility to the users, one is Positive for satisfied customer, second one is Negative for unsatisfied customer and third one is Undecided or Neutral one. They manually check all the comment before approving it, so that it controls the spam.

I saw a few technologies there from which I too was not aware. It is assuming, I too can reduce my fat with the help of these products. These are really useful as I can get much more idea about them from this site only.

• Sleep: Sleep plays an important part in improving memory of children. Adequate sleep in relaxed mind is very important to maintain a good memory.
• Avoid watching TV while eating: Do not allow your child to watch television while eating. Children keep talking and eating while watching TV.

I love my stomach and I always try to protect it from any type of malicious activity. Here are a few ways through which we can always protect our stomach:

• Dietary laws: It was found that a regular quantitative eating habit with small gaps in meals help the digestive gland secretion more conducive to digestion. It gives a conditioned reflex and induces gland secretion of stomach.
• Quantitative timing: Eat quantitatively. Meals should be moderate– three meals a day regularly regardless of stomach hunger. Do not take excess of food at a time and also avoid big gaps between meals.
• Cold and provocative food: cold food has a strong stimulating effect which can lead to diarrhea or gastrointestinal inflammation. Cold and provocative food irritates the gastrointestinal mucosa.
• Temperature of food: Food should be kept at normal temperature. Excess of hot and cold food damages stomach.
• Eating manners: Do not eat hastily. Eat slowly and chew the food properly. Proper salivation is needed to digest the food. Otherwise it will hurt stomach and lead to pain also.
• Fried food: Fried food adds burden to digestive tract causing indigestion. Hence it is clear that it is a health disadvantage to eat excess fried food.
• Pickled food: Pickles contain excess of salt and spices which harms digestive system. Some may be carcinogenic. They should be avoided to keep the stomach healthy.
• Food tone: Food should be soft, warm not very hot, light and fresh. It will prevent erosion and gastric ulcers and surface add to illness.
• Water: Water is an important part of body. It should be taken time to time. The best time of drinking water is during fasting and an hour before meal. Avoid taking water during meal. Water provides the base for digestion.
• Negative Stimulus for digestion: Smoking leads to stomach vasoconstriction, the impact of gastric parietal cells in the blood supply, reduced resistance to gastric-induced stomach illness. Avoid smoking.

Experts believe that refrigerator is responsible for most of the food poisoning cases. Pathogens in refrigerators at home may partly be responsible for food-related sicknesses.

This proposition came from experts who met to address home-based food safety issues at the Institute of Food Technologists’ Annual Meeting and Food Expo in New Orleans recently.

Experts say that people usually do not clean the refrigerators for a week which leads to increase in number of pathogens. Referring to one study that calculated the percentage of consumers who clean their refrigerators once a month at 50, they said that the figure was likely exaggerated because people failed to clean thoroughly.

Dr Fur-Chin Chen, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, said that a quarter of the refrigerators he inspected during a recent study contained a variety of pathogens which are responsible for food poisoning. Along with this, vegetable bins were the most contaminated.

“You don’t have to go to a restaurant or to a party to get sick,” said Dr Chen.

Experts’ advice that refrigerators should be cleaned inside and outside properly with soap once a week and it shouldn’t be more than 10 years old.

Dr Sandria Godwin with Tennessee State University’s Family and Consumer Sciences suggested that consumers allow the shelves and drawers to air dry.

The meeting also saw panelists discussing the fact that risky food-handling practices increased with education and income, a phenomenon that none of them could explain. Godwin said that most people whether well educated or not, thought that they knew more than they did.

A conference to discuss the solutions for the serious issue of the global food crisis is going to be held on Tuesday by the top world leaders including human rights activists and the World Bank.

The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) initially called the summit at the end of last year to discuss the risks posed to food security by climate change. But soaring food prices have shifted the focus of the Rome summit. Soaring prices are pushing an estimated 100 million people into hunger.

A vast range of issues such as aid, trade and technology to improve farm yields are expected to be discussed in the meet.

The cost of major food commodities has doubled over the last couple of years, with rice, corn and wheat at record highs. Bio-fuels, made by converting food crops into fuel, are told to be the major reason behind the food crisis.

“Countries are justifying the pursuit of bio-fuels on the grounds that they offer a means to reduce emissions from transport and improve energy security,” the campaign group Oxfam said in a report issued on Tuesday.

“But there is mounting scientific evidence that bio-fuel mandates (policy support) are actually accelerating climate change by driving the expansion of agriculture into critical habitats such as forests and wetlands.”

The United States is already supposed to convert about a quarter of its maize crop into ethanol production by 2022, and the European Unions plans to get 10 per cent of auto fuel from bio-energy by 2020, bio-fuel supporters say the effect on global food prices is small.

US Agriculture Secretary Ed Shafer said bio-fuels accounted for only around 3 per cent of the total food price rise while Oxfam says the real impact is about 30 per cent.

World Bank chief Robert Zoellick said the issue should not be allowed to dominate the summit, although bio-fuels clearly competed with food production.

The feel good factor of the union budget is over now, India is now struggling from the inflation rate. The week which ended on March 22, inflation rate reached to a new high of 7%.

This new high inflation rate has increased the prices of all essential commodities like food, vegetables, minerals, steels, and other manufactured items. Within one or two weeks people are expecting a new high in the rates of the essential commodities.

This incident is putting some sort of pressure on the center’s UPA government lead by Manmohan Singh, who him self is a great economist. All the supporting parties are now pulling Congress for this issue, no one wants to face the blame for it.

Government has decided a few steps like to abolish import duty on crude form of edible oils, cut rate on refined edible oils and ban non-basmati rice exports but these are still not decreasing the rates of essential commodities.

It is now a bit sure that RBI will also going to take some step very soon to stop the further growth of inflation rate.
