10 Side Effects of Weight Loss That Nobody Tells You
The internet or social media is full of diet loss advertisements that even if you try your best you cannot avoid them. However, are they really as safe as they seem to be? Do they produce the desired result?
10 Negative effects of Losing Weight
It is very natural for everyone to want to remain fit and healthy, and while some of them use a healthy approach to get to their goals, there are others who resort to unhealthy ways of losing weight. Some of these methods are dangerous and just not worth the trouble and harm they cause to your body’s vital organs. You will be able to see instant results in these kind of methods, but they can seriously harm your body in the long run. Let us look at some of the rapid weight loss side effects.
1. Losing Muscle Mass
Did you know that the key to a healthy metabolism is eating the right food and being consistent? So if you are planning to starve yourself to lose a few inches from the waist, it will be counter-intuitive in the long run. Starving causes the body to lose water-weight and muscle-mass, both of which are good for the body. As a result, your body will start storing the calories as food to counter this situation, and you will tend to get more fat in the long run.
2. Dehydration
Purging falls among the extreme weight loss dangers that some people resort to lose weight. Apart from causing dehydration, it can also cause bodily weakness along with loss of hair and kidney failure. Constant vomiting can cause cavities and decay in your teeth and give them a dull look. In severe cases, it can result in organ failure.
3. Causes Extreme Stress on the Body
Some people think that over-exercising can help them shed the extra kilos overnight. Physical effects of weight loss through excessive exercising can result in extreme stress on the body and organs. It can also cause insomnia, increased injury, and an immune system that is compromised, making you fall sick very often.
4. Heart Ailments
Our bodies derive nutrition from a wide food range. However, some people chose to increase the intake of certain foods and decrease or completely avoid some of the others. Consuming more of proteins can leave you with constipation, decreased liver-functioning, and even heart-related ailments.
5. Nutritional Deficiencies
There are dozens of diet pills available in the market that promise effective weight loss. However, most of these pills promise to either block absorption of essential nutrients, burn fat or increase metabolism. Not eating enough nutrients required by the body daily can lead to brittle bones and cause extreme fatigue.
6. Formation of Gallstones
Gallstones are formed when the substances in the digestive juice sit for a long while, and they get to join together. These stones get stuck near the opening of the gall bladder causing immense pain and indigestion.
7. Fluctuation in Hormone Levels
One of the effects of weight loss on the body is that it causes your metabolism to slow down and can wreak havoc on the hormone levels. You will experience a slower metabolism long even after you have stopped your dieting.
8. Electrolyte Imbalances
Electrolyte imbalances have the potential to throw your body off the track. A diet poor in nutrition can cause an electrolyte imbalance in your body.
9. Constipation or Diarrhoea
A diet rich in protein can cause constipation or diarrhoea due to a lack of enough fibre content in the food.
10. Poor Immune System
A diet that does not include the required nutrient contents for the body will automatically weaken your immune system. You will find yourself at an increased risk of catching infections.
Consider slowly changing your eating habits and exercise regularly to lose weight in a healthy way and keeping it off from coming back in the long run. There are plenty of ways to speed up your goal of achieving weight loss which are safe for your body.

6 Reasons Why Health Insurance Is A Must
Buying a good health plan is a way of investing for your future. It protects you from heavy financial liability if you are hospitalised or need medical care. Therefore, the importance of health insurance cannot be undermined. Choose the right policy and most of your medical expenses can be sorted.
What is Health Insurance
Health insurance is a way to pay for your health care. It protects you when you’re injured or sick in the hospital by paying a part of your medical expenses. The percentage of cost that is covered by health insurance depends on the insurance plan you have chosen and the annual or monthly premium you pay for it. Healthcare insurance is not just about providing expenses for your hospital stay. There are many hidden benefits, depending on your insurance package.
Benefits Of Health Insurance
1. Convalescence Benefit
Some companies and plans also take care of the insured’s recovery expenses. This benefit is meant to supplement costs incurred during recovery, such as to compensate for loss of income for the number of days in the hospital. In some policies, the pre-hospitalisation stage could be considered as the recuperating period. This is also known as recuperating benefit.
2. Daily Hospital Cash Allowance
There are many other expenses associated with hospitals and medical care, such as the money spent on food and refreshments, or the money spent on commuting between hospital and home. All these expenses add up to quite a substantial amount. Check if your policy offers these benefits in the form of pre-fixed, per-day cash hand outs, and generally the insured party doesn't require any bills to support the claim.
3. Home Treatment Reimbursement
Most policies only cover hospitalisation costs. However, if you research carefully, you'll find that there are many policies available in the market that widen their coverage to include treatment undertaken at home as per the doctor’s orders.
4. Alternative Therapies
Not many insurance companies cover the cost of treatment incurred from alternative therapies like homoeopathy, ayurveda, and unani systems of medicine. However, some health policies do reimburse 25% of these expenses, provided they are undertaken at a government hospital.
5. Caretaker/ Attendant Allowance
Some policies offer a fixed allowance for adults looking after an insured child/ old person at the hospital. In such a scenario, the caretaker is often a member of the family. The amount of allowance will vary from country to country.
6. Transplant Surgery Expenses
Transplantation surgery can be quite expensive and can put quite a financial strain on the insured. Apart from the cost of his own surgery, the insured person also has to bear the medical expenses incurred by the donor. Some insurance policies offer a provision to claim expenses related to the donor as well. The treatment costs cover the expenses incurred in surgery and harvesting the organ.
There are many different types of health insurance policies available in the market. The key to choosing the right policy is seeing what suits you. Like all insurance policies, health insurance policies come with a lot of fine print. Read the policy in detail and be aware of the eligible benefit amount and period before signing up for anything.

Yes! I can empathize every parent's 101 questions before starting solids.
I had made up my mind after all my research that I am going to start solids for my little one only after 6 months. When he turned 5 months I started getting worried/scared/nervous that I just have one month left to start solids and how am I going to start ,cant actually put feelings in words,the feeling was like i have final exams in one month . I was mostly scared about 'constipation' and my baby's 'growth' . I was happy and satisfied until 6 months with average growth so I wished it to continue the same way. I started talking to all the grand moms, moms, specially new moms, dads for their experiences and i actually got loads of advices and I was really impressed that they actually remembered step by step and everyone loved sharing their experiences thanks to all. The best advice I got was listen to everyone and at the end go with " mother instincts " and that I 100% agree because it was definitely not just a advice it proved true for me . No one knows the baby like a mom knows . I did what my mother instincts told me to do for my baby and I was proud by my choices or the way I started solids. I overcame My both the fear about constipation and growth for my baby. I am sure now the expectation from the reader would be how I started solids what I exactly gave but sorry parents I think you should go with your mother instincts rather follow exactly what others followed. But definitely try to know what's best for your baby from all the sources possible for the best usage .Well well it is a totally different experience altogether after baby turns 1 . In this writing I just mentioned about 'starting solids' phase. Read more
