Obesity- A pill for every ill?
Question:
I am in the midst of preparation
for my wedding and in a great hurry to lose weight. Is there any health
supplement, which I can take to achieve my target? Is a sugar or fat blocker
effective?
Answer:
The decision to start treatment,
be it using medicine, or health supplement, or simply through dieting and
exercise depends very much on your health condition and life style. You can
visit any pharmacies with weight management programs and provide your pharmacist
with information such as your height, and weight, your medical conditions and
concurrent medications, and your eating and exercise patterns. In turn, your
pharmacist can provide you with a tailor-made weight management plan to lose
weight in a safe and effective manner. Rushing into using a slimming aid or a
dieting program without proper assessment can bring about disappointment or
worse… damage to your health.
There is great controversy
surrounding the use of health supplements to lose weight and the golden truth to
the question of whether they work or not has yet to be found. Nonetheless, the
important fact is weight management is a tug-of-war between food intake and
energy expenditure. With or without pill, what you eat and how you exercise in
the long run will determine how well you lose weight and keep it off
permanently.
