PRETAX
PRETAX PROFITS BY $1.4 BILLION. >>> IT'S WELL KNOWN, BUT NOT
ALL THAT POPULAR.
IT'S CALLED THE COVID 15,
CORONA 15, YOU PROBABLY HEARD
IT.
IT.
IT. THE
IT. THE GAINING OF WEIGHT.
MANY SAY THEY ARE EXPERIENCING
IT BECAUSE OF STAY-AT-HOME
ORDERS.
ORDERS.
ORDERS. THE QUESTION IS IS IT A REAL
THING?
THING?
THING? OUR 9 HEALTH EXPERT JOINS US
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. I
NOW. I GUESS WE'VE LEARNED IF YOU'RE
NEVER MORE THAN 45 FEET AWAY
FROM THE REFRIGERATOR, THERE'S
CHANCE YOU MIGHT BE EATING ALL
DAY.
DAY.
DAY. IS
DAY. IS THIS JUST PERCEPTION OR IS
THERE REAL DATA?
>> THERE IS SOME DATA.
THERE WAS A SURVEY DONE ON
SOCIAL MEDIA THAT ASKED 270
PEOPLE IF THEY FELT THAT THEY
HAD GAINED WEIGHT AND GREATER
THAN 50% OF THEM SAID THAT THEY
HAD.
HAD.
HAD. THEY
HAD. THEY CORRELATED THIS WITH DATA
FROM ELECTRONIC SCALE
MANUFACTURERS SO THOSE APPS
WHERE YOU PUT IN YOUR WEIGHT
WERE CORRELATED TO SHOW THAT
MOST PEOPLE HAD ACTUALLY GAINED
LESS THAN ONE POUND.
CERTAINLY, THE REALITY IS THAT
PEOPLE ARE GAINING WEIGHT.
THE PERCEPTION KIND OF
OUTWEIGHS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
REALITY.
REALITY.
REALITY. THERE'S MANY REASONS WHY PEOPLE
MIGHT BE GAINING WEIGHT.
THE MOST OBVIOUS ONE IS THAT WE
ARE NOT EXERCISING AS MUCH.
GYMS ARE CLOSED.
WE ARE NOT LEAVING OUR HOUSE.
THE SECOND REASON IS ACTUALLY
OVEREATING.
OVEREATING. WE TEND TO EAT MORE BECAUSE
WE'RE STOCKPILING THE FOOD.
WE'RE ALSO TENDING TO EAT MORE
CARBOHYDRATE RICH FOODS BECAUSE
THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF FOODS
THAT KEEP BETTER AND LESS
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
WE'RE TENDING TO SNACK MORE
BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO
DO THAT WHEN WE'RE WORKING FROM
HOME.
HOME.
HOME. WE
HOME. WE HAVE A LOT OF STRESS GOING
ON, ECONOMIC STRESS AS WELL AS
WORRY ABOUT CATCHING THE VIRUS
AND THAT CANNOT ONLY LEAD TO
STRESS EATING, BUT IT CAN ALSO
LEAD TO INCREASE IN COURTY SO
CORTISOL LEVELS AND ALCOHOL IS
UP AND MAY LEAD TO EIGHTEEN
CREASED CALORIIC INTAKE.
>> IS THERE ONE YOU ARE MOVE
CONCERNED ABOUT OR ONE IF YOU
CAN'T TAKE THEM ALL ON AT ONCE,
THERE'S ONE OR TWO YOU WANT TO
MAKE SURE YOU TAKE CARE OF?
>> WELL, I THINK THERE'S A
COUPLE OF THINGS I WOULD SAY.
WHAT YOU TAKE IN SHOULD BE AS
MUCH AS WHAT YOU POUT AND
THAT'S REALLY THE SIMPLE MATH
PROBLEM WHEN IT COMES TO
WEIGHT.
WEIGHT.
WEIGHT. IF YOU ARE SOMEBODY WHO CAN'T
LEAVE THE HOUSE OR CAN'T BE
VERY ACTIVE, YOU HAVE TO BE
COGNIZANT OF NOT OVEREATING AND
NOTSNACKING AND PORTION
CONTROL.
CONTROL.
CONTROL. THE INBETWEEN SNACKS WE HAVE
BETWEEN MEALS ARE THE MOST
LIKELY TO MAKE US GAIN WEIGHT.
I WOULD WORK ON TRYING TO CUT
THOSE OUT.
THOSE OUT. ANOTHER COUPLE OF THINGS TO
THINK ABOUT WHICH IS NOT HOW
MUCH WEIGHT WE'RE GAINING, BUT
WHERE WE ARE GAINING IT.
A PHENOMENON CENTRAL ATIPOSITY
WHICH MEANS GAINING WEIGHT IN
OUR TUMMY CAN GIVE US THE
PERCEPTION WE'RE GAINING A LOT
OF WEIGHT AND WHEN WE ARE NOT
DOING REGULAR MUSCLE
CONDITIONING, WE CAN TAKE
MUSCLE MASS AND TURN IT INTO
FAT.
FAT.
FAT. >>
FAT. >> WE USED TO SAY BEER BELLY
AND THAT MAKES IT SOUND MORE
PLEASANT --
PLEASANT -- >> IS SOUNDS SO MUCH MORE
SCIENTIFIC.
SCIENTIFIC. >> SOUNDS MUCH BETTER.
>> IF THERE IS A QUARANTINE
WEIGHT GAIN PHENOMENON, IS IT A
LONG TERM EFFECT?
DO WE EXPECT IT TO GO BACK
NORMAL OR IS THIS FOR REAL?
>> WE DO EXPECT THAT AS THINGS
GET BETTER, THE WEIGHT GAIN
WILL GET BETTER, BUT I WANT TO
ISSUE A WORD OF CAUTION.
THERE'S AMERICANS, UP TO 42%,
THAT
THAT
THAT THAT
THAT THAT ARE ALREADY OBESE.
WE KNOW OBESE OBESITY IS ONE
OF THE STRONGEST RISK FACTORS
WHEN IT COMES TO CONTRACTING
COVID.
COVID.
COVID. IT'S IMPORTANT TO FOCUS ON NOT
GAINING WEIGHT WHILE IN
QUARANTINE AND IN THE LONG
TERMCARDIOVASCULAR RISK,
TERMCARDIOVASCULAR RISK, DIABETES AND SOME TYPES OF
CANCERS CAN BE EFFECTED BY
WEIGHT GAIN.
WEIGHT GAIN. FIRST TIP IS NO SNACKING AT
ALL.
ALL.
ALL. YOU
ALL. YOU HAVE YOUR MEALS AND THAT'S
IT.
IT.
IT. TRY
IT. TRY NOT TO GRAZE INBETWEEN.
INCREASE YOUR INTAKE OF WATER
BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
AS WELL.
AS WELL.
AS WELL. YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT DRINKING
AS MUCH WATER AS YOU SHOULD.
THEN, TRY TO GET IN 10,000
STEPS A DAY.
IF WE DO THAT JUST LIKE SOCIAL
DISTANCING, WE WILL FLATTEN
THAT CURVE AS YOU CAN SEE
THERE.
THERE.
THERE. >>
THERE. >> IS THAT A CHOCOLATE BUNNY
THAT NEEDS A CURVE FLATTENING?
THAT'S A GREAT GRAPHIC.
>> THAT CAME OUT RIGHT BEFORE
EASTER.
EASTER.
EASTER. I'M GLAD WE'RE ABLE TO USE IT.
IT IS THE CHOCOLATE BUNNY.
>> STAY AWAY FROM
