			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Obesity is the corpulent condition of the body with an increased BMI (Body Mass Index) as a result of excessive food intake and lack of physical exercises. Although there are other cases of obesity with genetic and medical causes; those explained to be caused by the sedentary lifestyle are reported to be fatal associating with Diabetes, Cholesterol and other cardiovascular diseases.</p>
<p>Sedentary life style can be proved expensive, especially when it could cost a life. The victim off-guard to pay the price can be radically accessed by a weight reduction program that helps losing weight over a short term besides just creating awareness among the people. With obesity being one of the leading causes of preventable death; the ailment is often denounced with precautious dieting and healthy habits with extensive care failing which may require serious medical attention.</p>
<p><strong>Reduce Obesity</strong></p>
<p>A healthy way to reduce obesity is fitting into an active lifestyle rather than that of a dormant. Active exercises burn the additional calories and raise the metabolic rate, thereby increasing the efficiency of the body besides motivating weight reduction.</p>
<p>Diets can also promote weight loss when followed on a regular basis. An appetite with high fiber foods, fruits, vegetables, juices, sprouts, grains, nuts, seeds, and beans etc can supply healthy vitamins providing sufficient calcium, magnesium &amp; potassium levels to boost the energy in the body.</p>
<p>Balanced fat free diet accompanied with routine physical exercises helps losing weight over a short term proving numerous weight reduction programs to be successful. However, the realistic goal of keeping the lost weight off is a higher responsibility that would require the following:</p>
<p>(i) A dietary management depending on the food preference and life style.<br />
(ii) Behavioral modification avoiding hyper indulgence in food and alcohol.<br />
(iii) Activities for physical and mental exertion.</p>
