Alas and Alack! One of the most clamoured conundrums of 21st century discuss the ‘IRONICALLY FIT vs PHAT’ scenarios which entail excess or under consumption of calories in lay person, fashion models, athletes, and sick patients. In these individuals, there is a stark scuffle of homeostatic ingestion patterns caused by reticent negative feedback loops, wherein one extreme is usually preferred or people develop a dietary behavior that makes individuals toggle between the extreme forms; thus, instigate surplus weight gain or loss precipitously. Excess scenarios comprise of individuals in North American countries who worship abattoir-culture with hallmarks like protein and fat as the central part of their diet, also become unequivocally dependent on automobiles to this extent that if their cars were purloined they would hitherto snub to ambulate on their feet or take a purposeful walk in the parks. This is owed to gluttony towards red meat and saturated fats which are a tell-tale factor that possibly lead to mortality due to cardiac aliments and other morbidities like diabetes and obesity which in their obdurate types can also be precariously lethal. On the other extreme are sportsmen and style-savy fashionistas who in addition to dwindled intake also engage in vigorous exercise regimens that result in a ‘triadic syndrome’ comprised of attenuated bone mineral density, sporadically aberrant menstrual cycles, and stumped energy at disposal. Consequently, this group writhes attributed to mental and physical agony convoyed by side effects related to incessant fad diets, elimination of food group(s) or preference for one group more than the other thereby creating macronutrient and micronutrient deficiencies in the incipient stages and later visible in the form of full-blown maladies. Both extremes disaccord to follow the sunny middle road albeit cognizant that moderation is the key to wholesomeness as well as salubrious nutrition and body mass index which can only be maintained by consciousness of how body processes nutrients and erudition about the benefits of regular physical activity. Additionally, deliberate desires and endeavors on how to press the ‘STOP’ button in their minds is advantageous as it involves admiration and adoration for our bodies and mindfulness about discordant thoughts, behaviours, and environmental triggers that can be meticulously controlled by seeking professional support from physicians, registered dietitians, and psychologists. Heave-Ho! People must know that they are not forlorn in the pugnacious battle against a belligerent civilization that fancies McDonaldization and ‘avant garde’ technology where they’ve disremembered what natural, clean, and balanced mean, education is thus the key to stem the tide of contemporary world’s dilemma that kills more often than does feed iniquitous pleasures.
