Why being fat may not be your fault

A group of obesity experts say your chances of being overwieght increases if:

1. You have an older mother. The odds of a child being obese at the age of 9 increase by 14% for every 5 year increase in the age of the mother. (Meaning.... I have the potential to own an obese child/children... hehe)
2. U live near heavy industry. Industrial pollutants that find their way up the food chain, can affect metabolism, activing dormat baby fat cells. (Rare in Brunei.... mostly people dont practice healthy life..)
3. U have air conditioners. Working in air-conditioned offices save calories the body would normally use to keep its temp. down. In winter, the reverse is true, and central heating means we no longer burn off calories keeping warm. (hah... luckily the classrooms are warm..... and the fan pun kurang memberangsangkan.... plus this yr... my timetable really tight.... meaning i spend most of the day in the class..... thanks to the school system where the lesson ends at 3.30pm.. hahahhaha.... rasa jua kan kurus!)
4. U were UNDERWEIGHT at birth. Small babies who undergo a rapid weight catch-up are likely to struggle to stay slim when they grow up, as their bodies adapt to store food, rather than burn it off.

There you go..... I must admit that the reasons for me being put on weight few years back would be due to depression led to the consumption of unhealthy food led to unbalanced diet led to lack of exercising lead to the current ME. Thanks to few good frens who encouraging me to practice well-balanced diet last year.... which led to weight loss (not much... but OK lah) and more to lose.

But.... blame to the GENETICS too... my paternal granddad & grandma were1st cousin..... and so do my great grandparents! No wonder diseases like diabetes... high blood pressure runs in the family........So to the Pauzi Family... we better watch out.... start exercising, no more BBQ (once in a while lah), less visits to KK KOYA, Charcoal, DIM SUM but more visit to Japanese... hehehe...

I think we better do hiking or jogging outing rather than DIM SUM..... kan kan...... alhamdullilah.... my sugar and blood pressure are at normal level....
