Obesity & Nutrition

Max Editorial

Sinopsis

Obesity is a complex health condition characterized by excessive excess body fat, which can have effects on physical and emotional health. In the contemporary world, obesity has become a global epidemic, affecting people of all ages, genders and ethnic backgrounds. Understanding obesity and its intrinsic relationship to nutrition is critical to effectively addressing this issue.Definition of Obesity and its CausesObesity is defined by the body mass index (BMI), a measure that relates an individual's weight to height. A BMI of 30 or more indicates obesity. However, obesity is not just a matter of aesthetics. It is associated with a number of serious health problems, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, sleep apnea and various forms of cancer.The causes of obesity are multifactorial and complex. They involve the interaction between genetic, environmental, behavioral and metabolic factors. The abundant availability of high-calorie foods rich in vitamins and sugars, along with a sedentary lifestyle, are the main factors that have created for the rise in obesity rates. Additionally, individual metabolic issues and hormonal imbalances can also play a role in predisposing to obesity.Importance of Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of ObesityNutrition plays a crucial role in both preventing and treating obesity. The relationship between food consumption and weight gain is direct, as excess calories consumed are stored as body fat. Therefore, taking a balanced approach to diet is essential.A balanced diet consists of providing the body with the nutrients it needs for proper function, while controlling total caloric intake. This involves a proper mix of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, protein and vitamins, as well as taking in essential vitamins and minerals.When considering obesity prevention and treatment, it is important to take a long-term approach. Extremely restrictive or drastic diets can result in temporary weight loss, but they are often unsustainable and can lead to the accordion effect. Instead, the focus should be on promoting healthy and sustainable lifestyle changes, including conscious food choices and regular physical activity.In summary, obesity is a global challenge that affects the health and well-being of many people. Nutrition plays a key role in the prevention and treatment of obesity, and a balanced, long-term approach is needed to achieve lasting results. Throughout this ebook, we will explore in detail how nutrition can be a powerful ally in the journey to combat obesity and the search for a healthier lifestyle.

The Universal Order - A...

Krishna Dharma, Chintamani Dhama...

Srimad Bhagavatam, ‘The Beautiful Science of God’, is a systematic revelation of the Supreme. In this fifth canto, we learn of God’s greatness, how his supreme will keeps everything in perfect order. We first meet the powerful King Priyavrata, who rose to the heavens like a second sun to dissipate the darkness of night and create the divisions of Bhumandala. Then comes his son Agnidhra, who weds the celestial beauty Purvachitti and begets nine sons, who each become a lord of one of the provinces of Jambudvipa, the great earthly island on which we reside. One of those sons, Nabhi, begets Lord Rishabha, the divine incarnation famous for showing the path of Jada-yoga, practised by highly advanced mystics. Rishabha delivers profound spiritual instructions to his hundred sons, the most famous of whom was Bharat, after whom the earth was named. We hear how King Bharat somehow fell from the pinnacle of spiritual practice and became a deer in his next life. He then took birth as the self-realised soul, Jada Bharat. In a dialogue of astonishing brilliance, Bharat instructs King Rahugana, laying bare the stark reality of material existence and showing us how to conquer the mind and transcend all suffering. After this, the great sage Shukadeva takes us on a fantastic cosmic journey, revealing the structure and intricacies of the universal planetary systems, from the highest regions of heaven down to the paradisical subterranean provinces of Bila Svarga, homes of the Daityas, Danavas and Nagas—dark beings of phenomenal power. Finally, we hear a harrowing description of the many hells that sinful persons reach, essential reading for anyone who wants to get a bit more serious about their spiritual life. In this dramatised retelling, the authors have made this fascinating epic highly enjoyable and accessible to everyone.

The Art of Living an Absurd...

Robert Pantano

We are all living an existence that none of us chose and none of us truly understand. Naturally, everything can—at times—feel strange, chaotic, and overwhelming. The Art of Living an Absurd Existence helps us find peace with this; it instructs us on how to embrace and appreciate the mystery; and it breaks us free from reductive ways of thinking so that we can embark on our own absurd journey with openness and wonder. 
 
With his usual candid tone and poignant sincerity, Robert Pantano explores paradoxes, thought experiments, and big ideas of philosophy in order to uncover insights about knowledge, selfhood, existence, and the universe. Taking you on a journey to the edge of thought, Pantano pushes the boundaries of your perspective while simultaneously providing immense comfort and peace. 
 
Most of the essays contained in this book were originally published as videos seen by tens of millions of people on Pantano's popular YouTube channel, Pursuit of Wonder. Because of their popularity, he created a well-organized collection of updated and revised essays gathered in the form of this book.
