Now-a-days remaining fit is becoming a necessity of life. We can say fitness is the essence of healthy life. Technology has forced a person to sit in one place for long hours thus reducing the level of physical activity. But at the same time there is no reduction in the intake of food. In fact we can say as the life style of a person has changed his eating habits have also changed. Intake of junk food has increased and this results in over consumption of calories. These fats often get accumulated in the body making a person obese. Lack of physical exercise increases the weight.



Obesity when neglected:

Obesity is often neglected at early stages. But following are the risks associated with it.

• It causes heart diseases.



• There are chances of increase in blood pressure with overweight people.



• Diabetes is another problem which is common in obese people.



• Arthritis and cancer are also associated with increase in weight.

From all these risks one can conclude that the risks associated with obesity are serious which may result in death of a person.

Ways of overcoming obesity:

1)The first natural solution that comes in one's mind is heavy exercising. But as discussed earlier, invention of technology has made a person lazy. Also people undergo mental stress when under work. They do not have that energy in them which will be required for heavy exercises after their hectic schedule.

2)The second thought that comes in mind is reducing diet drastically. This is a part of solution but not an accurate one. Reducing diet makes a person weak.

3)Third way of overcoming obesity is diet pills. There are various diet pills available in the market.

The top ranked among them are Xenical, Reductil and Accomplia.

Diet pills have proved to be the best way to reduce weight of a person quickly.

Xenical is one of the diet pills which have shown great results in weight loss in many people. It was commercialized in 1998 in Europe. Orlistat is the active ingredient present in Xenical.

Among the above mentioned drugs, Xenical is considered to be safe medicine as its functioning is different than other medicines and it has lesser side effects. Here is the answer to it.

Xenical actually works in the stomach by absorbing the fats from accumulating in the body. It has proved to absorb one third of the fat from getting accumulated in the body. This excess fat is discharged from the bowel.

Xenical is not a wonder drug. Exercise and diet control is necessary along with the medicine.

Why is Xenical better than any other drug?

Xenical is the only medicine which works in the stomach directly. It is a fat inhibitor which blocks the absorption of dietary fats.

Other medicines are appetite suppressants which work in the central nervous system and brain creating a false feeling of fullness. This reduces the food intake thereby reducing the consumption of fats.

When will Xenical work?

For Xenical to work effectively, it has to be taken for a long term. One cannot just stop taking it when he starts feeling the difference. The recommended dosage for Xenical is 120mg which is prescribed to be taken thrice in a day. It has to be strictly taken within one hour after the meal or during the meal.

Any alterations in the prescribed dosage would result Xenical to be ineffective.

Side effects:

As every medicine available has some or the other side effects associated with it Xenical is not an exception to it.

The working of Xenical being absorption of fats, side effects are related to digestive system. Fatty or oily stools and changes in the bowel movements are some of the other commonly observed side effects.
