What do you think about the idea of a 'magic pill' for obesity?
Arushi , new delhi: Sep 16 2007

No intense exercising, no dieting; no ban on chocolates, chips or junk! New studies show that pramlintide also known as Symlin, a drug that is used to lower blood sugar in diabetes patients, might be an effective medication for weight loss in obese patients.

The drug is a synthetic version of the hormone Amylin, which regulates gastric emptying. The results are promising as a life-saver for people who are chronically obese. Certainly, the consumption of it would do wonders to patients taking it, who most probably would end up thin. But as per the second side of the coin, they won’t necessarily be healthy — the hearts may still be compromised, there will still be a higher risk for many diseases, and chances of unhealthy diets and little to no exercise.

True health only comes from a healthy diet and plenty of exercise — there’s no pill that will help you achieve it. There is absolutely no substitute to fitness. For perfection one needs to put in equal amount of hard -work too. Moreover, playing with your system would lure one at present but is surely prone to highly destructive long term effects.

Nikita Mathur, a dietician says, ‘A proper timely diet and exercise is an unbeatable upshot, along with proper sleep. Artificial thinning will certainly risk the future.’

The ‘magic pill’ would certainly trim up your fat but would cost you your health.
Think before compromising on your health!
