नए शोध के आलोक में पुरानी मान्यताएं मिथ बन ने लगतीं हैं
(पहली किस्त )
चिकित्सा क्षेत्र भी इसका अपवाद नहीं है। खून में चर्बी सबके घुली रहती है। एक सीमा से आगे ये दिल के लिए ठीक नहीं रहती है लेकिन चर्बी भी दो तरह की है। अच्छी और बुरी। कुल चर्बी कितनी है खून के प्रति १०० डेसीलीटर में यह तो अहम है ही इसके अलावा अच्छी और बुरी चर्बी का परस्पर अनुपात कितना है यह विधाई भूमिका निभाता है आपके दिल की सेहत के निर्धारण में।
कमर घटाइए अपनी कमर का नाप घटाइये। मोटा नियम यह रहा आया है आपकी कुल लम्बाई के आधे से ज्यादा नहीं होना चाहिए आपकी कमर के घेरे का माप। नवीनतम निर्देश यह हैं -पुरुषों के लिए यह ९४ सेंटीमीटर तथा औरतों के लिए ८० सेंटीमीटर से नीचे ही निरापद मानी जायेगी।
अपना बॉडी मॉस इंडेक्स निकालने के लिए वजन किलोग्राम में लिखकर इसे अपनी हाइट (ऊंचाई मीटर में )के वर्ग से भाग कर दें। किलोग्राम /(मीटर )२ में आपका कायिक द्रव्यमान सूचकांक आ जाएगा। लेकिन आजकल इसे प्रतिरक्षा विभागों में भी भरोसे मंद नहीं माना जाता असल बात है कमर के घेरे का नाप -उदरीय चर्बी। वेस्ट लाइन।
विश्वस्वास्थ्य संगठन के नवीनतम मानक ११० /७० BP को अब सभी के लिए वांछित बतलाते हैं। आगे आपकी मर्जी।
NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT
Do the numbers you are asked to mind really add up ?Let us dig into the details
You have always been told that you need eight hours sleep a night and five portions of fruits and vegetables
a day .But which of these oft quoted stats are vital ?We get you the true picture .
KEEP CHOLESTEROL LOW
These days ,it's the ratio of 'good '(HDL) to 'bad ' (LDL )cholesterol that doctors worry about .Of course
the more good you have ,the better .
LDL is known as bad cholesterol because any excess can build up in the walls of your arteries ,restricting blood flow and forming artery blocking clots ,which can trigger a heart attack .High levels are linked to eating too much of the saturated fat found in red meat and full - fat dairy .HDL however ,is dubbed good cholesterol as it helps remove bad cholesterol from the blood and you can raise its level in your system by eating more 'healthy 'unsaturated fats found in olive oil ,dark choklates ,seeds and nuts .
VERDICT : OUTDATED ADVICE .GET YOUR CHOLESTEROL CHECKED AND ASK THE DOCTOR TO EXPALIN YOUR GOOD TO BAD CHOLESTEROL .
DRINK EIGHT GLASSES OF WATER
Despite numerous claims that we need eight glasses of water for healthy skin and kidneys , a review by scientists at the University of Pennsylvania found not a single study to back this widely touted figure ,which is thought to date back to a 1945 American nutrition report .It's also worth bearing in mind that excessive amounts of water can actually be dangerous ,even fatal by over -diluting the body's sodium levels.
VERDICT : THE BODY SELF REGULATES FLUID ,SO IF YOU ARE THIRSTY ,HAVE A GLASS OF WATER .IF YOU DON'T ,YOU PROBABLY DON'T NEED ONE .
AIM FOR A 18-25 BMI
Your BMI (Body Mass Index ) is a measure of whether you are carrying too much weight for your height and build .The current view is that under 25 is considered healthy , 25 -30 is over-weight and thirty plus obese .However many experts now believe that waist size is a far more imporatnat indicator of your health than BMI.This is because the abdominal fat stored around your middle is unstable and wraps itself around your internal organs , raising your risk of diabetes ,heart disease and certain cancers .
VERDICT : Misleading .Switch scales for a tape measure .If your waist is bigger than 94 cm for men and 80 cm for women ,you are carrying too much tummy fat -even if you are a healthy BMI.
BP SHOULD BE 100 PLUS YOUR AGE
Or so the saying used to be ,but these days 120/80 is now consided optimal ,whatever your age .The Blood Pressue Association argues that ,ideally everyone shuld aim for a reading of 110 /70 .This is because high blood pressure -the pressure at which blood is pumped around the body -puts extra strain on your arteries and heart ,which is a measure cause of heart attacks and the key cause strokes .
