FAD DIETS - DO THEY HELP?BY: Mach | Category: Food and Drinks | Post Date: 2008-09-12
Coupling of two words, FAD DIETS, although having contradictory meaning, is very much in vogue to the persons, both male and female struggling for slimming their figures by reducing weights. FAD means transient or whimsical and DIET denotes planned or prescribed selection of food for maintaining good health. Human body needs the essential nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, unsaturated fats, vitamins and minerals through daily intake of different nutritious foods, vegetarian or non-vegetarian. When somebody gains weight more than what is necessary according to height and gaining of such weight is mainly due to accumulation of extra fat in the body, he or she starts taking FAD DIETS like only fruit juice and biscuits, one or two pieces of bread for the whole day. This process may shake off extra weight but the person will become sick for not taking nutritionally balanced diet. Everybody should have some primary knowledge about the elements responsible for overweight and the essential nutrients required for maintaining perfect health. Saturated fat is the culprit responsible for raising the cholesterol level in the blood. This type of fat is found mainly in animal foods, such as meats, whole milk, milk butter, ghee and cheese. Regular intake of saturated fats makes a person fatty and weighty. On the contrary, unsaturated fat mostly found in plant foods is the type of fat that help lower LDL-CHOLESTEROL levels, bad for health. Proteins, Carbohydrates, Vitamins, especially Vitamin ‘B' complex and Minerals in food have their individual functions to maintain healthy body. Deficiency of these elements disrupts normal health. To maintain good health, it is always essential to eat nutritionally balanced diet in measured quantity with regular free hand exercise, yoga or jogging, avoiding intake of food containing saturated fat as far as possible. No doubt FAD DIETS reduce the weight. But weight is regained again, as a person cannot go on taking these diets on long term basis. When he or she gets tired with such diet or becomes sick due to malnutrition, goes back to favorite food and puts on more weight again. FAD DIETS are very much unhealthy for the body, as these are not nutritionally balanced and hence, do not HELP to maintain normal health.
