Introduction

"When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind and fearless"…..Byron cattie

Nature has its very own way of making things happen. And whenever nature is opposed to, certain reactions show up. At times they are very worrisome in nature. The human body is a system built with millions of complex systems which work with cohesion to each other around the clock. Opposing to their natural behavior causes them to react in certain ways, which sometimes surface in terms of disease and disabilities. The ever-growing morbid lifestyle of the 21st century thus possesses serious threats to our health and wellbeing. Obesity is one of its avatars. And to deal with it, one has to follow a healthy lifestyle with a maintained diet and regular physical activities. But the "shortcut generation", in today’s world, is more inclined nowadays to medication as a cure rather than good food and exercise. But the weight loss drug which is in rising of its popularity possesses the serious threat to our health. To register a few odds of these magic pills, here are some "fun" facts about them:-

1. There is no guarantee

The magic pills do not come with a guarantee of magic. The interesting part is, these supplements do not require any clearance from the FDA before going live in the market. So it’s very easy to spice it up to achieve instant success. These pills, when consumed regularly, might not always show any outward reaction, but it’s very much possible that they might be corroding you from inside. The adulterant substances of these drugs cause pretty serious harm to human organs. So until unless any adversity is being surfaced and reported, these drugs shape their manufacturers rich by luring amateurs of fitness dreams.

2. They can increase risk of heart attack and stroke

Many cases of cardiac attack and cerebral arrest have been registered as a result of consuming dietary supplements in the improper manner. These drugs consist stimulating agents which when consumed in overdose may turn fatal. Many of the contents of the drug combined with certain medical conditions to result in numerous health hazards. these supplements are mostly caffeine based metabolic support which stimulates the central nervous system of our body which might, in turn, give thrust to fat burning through a process called thermogenesis. But to be very honest, anything that is forcefully concurred against the natural system of the human body does contain considerable risk factor as the case is for these kinds of supplements.

  1. You can become addictedEven in the generic manner, addiction to anything is not good for health. And if the addiction is about diet pills, it’s a very dangerous and troublesome matter. in researchers, it has been found that these medicines contain addictive elements such as amphetamines, anti-anxiety drugs, and anti-depressants. And to add on, when clubbed together, these drugs can cause mayhem to a human body. And once addicted, these drugs can make human body corroded from inside.
  2. You may experience multiple side effects

The medicines surely do not come with a guarantee to deliver the desired result, but what they come with is a bucket load of side effects. An overdose of these drugs can very easily spike up pulse or blood pressure and can result fatally as heart attack or chocking. Some fat blocking components when taken inappropriately causes diarrhea and dehydration. These pills have the potential to damage organs like liver, kidney to a great extent. Some other side effects of diet pills include nausea, dizziness, insomnia, constipation, headache and mood swing.

5. Labels are full of false claims

Almost every attractive article with a considerable flaw comes with a brilliant makeover as part of an impeccable marketing trick. Likewise, these diet pills are laden with rich packaging and vibrant advertisements. But these declarations of the manufacturers doesn’t pass through any sort of authenticity test. To be specific, no food supplement is mandated to be routed through government passing to emerge big in the consumer market. So there is a huge freedom of alluring advertisement on the packaging so as to raise sale. But not all the claims made in the packaging are true. A survey conducted by our department of health and human services found that 20% of 127 dietary supplements they analyzed had fraudulent claims of curing ailments on their label. So it’s on the sole wisdom of the consumer to decide prior consuming this drugs, whether to go for a doctor’s advice or rather give their stars a chance.

6. They are ineffective

One thing that is invariably true in life is that shortcut often leads to wrong turns. Many of the pills that claim to reduce weight contains a mere combination of caffeine and other diuretics. What they do is to lower water level in the body which apparently seems like weight loss. But eventually, this water is bound to revert back to its normal level. This is not a fat burning process either. So as a conclusion, out of no good, these meds can just cause you a serious case of dehydration and diarrhea only.

7. You won’t change your habit

It’s a very common human tendency that when we find any shortcut to our goal, we eventually start drifting from the right process. Chances are there that the short route might lead us to success but the chance itself is very rare indeed. Once a person gets a magic pill to get rid of obesity, out of common human psychology he/she starts depending on it blindly. An obese person is always supposed to keep a close check on food intake, cholesterol level, blood sugar stability and other cardiac conditions. But being blindly dependent on diet pills, we often ignore the requirement of these monitoring which hampers our health in a bigger take.

Conclusion

In no way, taking weight loss pills to regain fitness is an appropriate alternative. To achieve the fitness goal, one needs to focus on a healthier lifestyle with a balanced food, an active daily routine with compulsory exercise and adequate rest. The

pre-processed food age has certainly helped us saving our time and labor to cook food, but they have come with an undercover curse of obesity and other ailments. So to stay fit, have a better lifestyle rather than relying on the hotshot diet (magic) pills.
