ISTANBUL (TR) - The pandemic has spread sedentary life. Turkey's Movement Map research, published at the end of 2021, shows that increased inactivity during the pandemic has returned 5.3 kilos to 23% of the population. According to the research conducted with three thousand people between the ages of 15-69, a quarter of Turkey does sports on average 3 days a week. The daily step count is approaching 8 thousand. Dietitian Tuğba Şaşmaz stated that the weight gained during the pandemic has increased awareness of regular nutrition and sports habits, which are the prerequisites of a healthy life, and said, “According to the research study, 8 out of 10 people in Turkey see sports as the most important element of a healthy life. This is an indication that sports are no longer just an activity for a certain period of time to lose weight. Healthy living, which took the first place in the list of priorities with the pandemic, accelerated the change in perception in this direction.

Stress, irregular sleep, unhealthy diet and inactivity are addictive

Noting that stress, irregular sleep and unhealthy diet accelerate the weight gain process, Tuğba Şaşmaz made the following assessment on the subject: “These 3 factors, together with inactivity, form the main lines of the process of gaining excess weight. These elements, which surround life from all sides like the roots of a fig tree, are gradually turning into addiction. The process of losing weight turns into a fight against addiction. It is not easy for people to get away from these habits on their own. Scientific research shows that including spouses in the process increases weight loss by 2 times. It is not easy for only one of the people living in the same house to change their lifestyle alone. However, while spousal support provides the necessary motivation in this regard, it also accelerates the abandonment of sedentary life and irregular eating habits.”

Success is inevitable when breaking points are overcome!

Mentioning that all factors that prevent healthy weight loss can be eliminated with effective struggle methods thanks to the support of spouses, Dietician Tuğba Şaşmaz said, “The process of losing weight starts fast and slows down in the following stages. In this period, which we call the breaking point, those who do not give up the struggle can achieve results. We plan all stages of the process in detail with the personalized weight loss program we offer in our beauty center. Even if the weight loss rate decreases when the breaking points are exceeded, success becomes inevitable. At the end of this stage, if needed, we activate applications such as thinning, tightening, cellulite treatment, jowl melting, crack treatment, muscle building with a regional slimming device. At the same time, we support the tightening of the skin with the care we offer for different skin types.
