An Oscar winner with a fat belly? The film that showed us the horror of obesity

This year’s Oscars came to a close a few days ago.Compared to last year, this year’s Oscars were a dazzling affair, with “The whole universe in a flash” being the biggest winner, winning seven awards.The most exciting moment was that the 60-year-old Michelle Yeoh also won the 95th Academy Award for Best Actress for this drama, making her the first Chinese-American actress to do so in history and the first Asian actress to do so.The Best Actor, of course, was Brendan Fischer who played a self-destructive character weighing nearly 300 pounds in The Whale.

What kind of pain does a 300-plus pound character take on?

The Whale is a simple film really, focusing on English teacher Charlie who gives up his family for his same-sex lover, becomes estranged from his daughter, and tries to reconnect with her after her death.

Due to the tragic death of his lover, Charlie has had no contact with the outside world for several years, during which time his overeating has left him weighing 600 pounds, or 272 kilos, and his life is in danger at any moment.

He would spend his days in a blue dress, sitting in a sofa chair constantly eating high calorie foods such as pizza, fried chicken, meatball sandwiches and chocolate, opening his mouth wide like a whale, in an attempt to borrow the binge to seek death.

The character would make him so fat that he couldn’t even hold things in his hands or even bend down to pick them up.

More than a human, Charlie is a huge monster that reeks of decay.

Of course we don’t see much in the way of follow-up stories, for those interested, and here we need to focus on the matter of middle-aged fatness.

Many middle-aged people are more likely to put on weight than younger people, why is this?

With the growth of age, the basic metabolic function of people slowly decreases, basically after the age of 25 will begin to decline, people to middle age, many people whether it is love or career have made a certain achievement, this time inevitably need a variety of social entertainment, this time will often eat some of the high-frequency food.

At this time, they will often eat high-calorie food, the human body’s metabolism decreases, excessive calorie intake will naturally be easy to gain weight.

When people reach middle age, they find that they are not as physically active as they used to be, and this is one of the reasons why they gain weight in middle age.

Everyone needs to know the formula for calculating the standard weight so that they have a comparison to know whether they are overweight or not.

The formula recommended by the World Health Organisation is: Standard weight calculation formula for men = (height cm-100) x 0.9(kg); Standard weight calculation formula for women = (height cm-100) x 0.9(kg) – 2.5(kg), you can calculate your weight according to this formula.

How can we tell if we are overweight?

This is the time to refer to this formula: percentage overweight (%) = (actual weight – standard weight) ÷ standard weight x 100%.

If the resulting figure, is less than 20% of the standard weight, then you belong to a thin group and what you need to do is to gain weight appropriately.

If the figure is within 10% of the excess, you are of a normal weight and it is good to continue to maintain it.

If the figure is between 10% and 20%, then you are just overweight and there is no big problem, just exercise and exercise appropriately.

If the figure is between 20% and 30%, then you are mildly obese and it is fine to lose weight and lose weight.

If you are between 30% and 50%, you are moderately obese, so you need to pay attention to this, and it is essential to exercise and lose weight.

Over 50% is heavy obesity, this time will seriously affect their own health, need to develop a special weight loss plan, active exercise.

When you are overweight, how should you lose weight?

1、Rational matching diet.

Middle-aged fat and their daily diet has a great relationship, three irregular meals, often overeating, or like to eat some greasy, fried, heavy, high-fat food, it will lead to the body to hoard a lot of calories, slowly heat into fat, people get fat.

This time the regular diet, a reasonable mix of food is very important, you can eat more vegetables and fruits, which is rich in dietary fiber, can effectively promote the body’s digestion and absorption, less to eat some high-calorie food.

2, adhere to the exercise exercise.

Exercise is the most effective way to lose weight, during the exercise with a reasonable diet, the effect of weight loss will be better; exercise can accelerate the burning of body fat, so as to achieve the purpose of weight loss.

In daily life, you can choose running, swimming, hiking and other sports, which are ideal for weight loss and fitness. Exercise is a long-term process that needs to be adhered to in order to make your figure better and better and your body healthier.

Everyone’s weight changes at different ages. As long as one’s weight is within a reasonable range, one just needs to continue to maintain it; if one appears to be underweight or has a sudden spike, then one needs to pay attention to it and actively lose weight to improve it.

When you reach middle age, your body functions are slowly declining and you need to always take care of your body at this time.
