subject: People Who Are Physically Active Generally Get The Best Results From Liposuction [print this page] Those who know about health know the importance of physical activity. Getting enough physical activity can increase strength, stamina, and circulation. Exercise is as beneficial for peace of mind as it is for physical well-being. Conventionally, exercise is proscribed as an aid to weight loss, and some people mistakenly believe that having liposuction can take away the necessity of getting enough exercise. Actually, less fat doesn't mean less exercise!
If anything, it means more. But why? A common misconception about liposuction is that it is a substitute for exercise. The fact is that a person can still gain weight after having liposuction, and after the surgery physical activity must be a high priority.
A good candidate for the surgery is already physically active and has no problems maintaining moderate levels of regular physical activity in the post-surgery period.
What does it mean to be physically active? It doesn't mean you have to run the New York City Marathon, and it doesn't mean that you have to be a body builder. It does mean that you have to move your body and get your heart beating.
There are so many ways to get physical activity, and it doesn't take too much imagination to come up with one that is interesting. Sports, weight training, and walking are all good ways to exercise. Also, being physically active doesn't mean you have to exercise in the traditional sense. You can be more physically active by walking places rather than driving and by parking far from the store entrance when you do drive so that you can get in a little extra walking.
Having a physically active life is good for your health in a lot of ways. People who are active tend to have fewer health problems than people who are sedentary. This is one reason why physically active people are the best candidates for liposuction.
In order to qualify for the surgery, you have to be in peak health. This means having no serious medical conditions and, as mentioned above, a healthy lifestyle.
Part of the liposuction myth is that the procedure can solve weight problems. The fact is that surgeons will not operate on people who are overweight or obese. It is the most safe and effective on individuals who are already within a healthy weight range and only need to have a few pounds removed from a particular problem area (usually ten to fifteen pounds at most).
Far from being a substitute for physical activity, safe liposuction is a small procedure that improves the appearance of a small area of the body.
Physical activity isn't just for people considering cosmetic surgery, of course. It's essential for everyone who wants to reap the many benefits of an active life.
