Overweight and obesity are those health disorders, which nowadays
threaten many people in different countries. This problem appears to be
more complicated than it may seem at the first glance. Excessive weight
and obesity, as more severe level of this disease, make people not only
concern about the aesthetics of their appearance, but trigger many
other diseases, such us cardiovascular problems, metabolic disorders
and others.
In response to the obesity spreading, many medicinal, dietary and
lifestyle means have been created to help people overcome excessive
weight. Dieting plans usually require certain changes in the meal
ration as well as in attitude to the food, called to reduce the
consumption of fats and high-caloric products. It is sometimes rather
difficult to follow the diet plans, because some of them are rather
time and cost-consuming.
The other way to manage overweight and overcome obesity is special
medications, among which Xenical is the most popular and approved by
Food and Drug Administration.
In order to manage weight with the help of Xenical pills, one should
not harshly change his lifestyle or his usual meal ration. So, it makes
fighting with excessive kilos more tolerant and easy to maintain.
So, how can small pills, taken three times a day during each main meal, ensure the loss of weight in obese people?
It is known that major contributor to the excessive weight is fat, that
we consume with food products. Let us look at the mechanism of
transforming fat from food into the fat on human body.
The point is that all the food, we eat, should be digested in our
stomach and intestines. The fats are not the exclusions from this rule.
They should be transformed or hydrolyzed into free fatty acids and
monoglycerides before they can be absorbed by human body.
The transformation of fats is performed by special enzymes in stomach
and small intestine, called lipases. In general normal process looks
like this:
People eat fats - fats get into stomach - lipases break up fats into
monoglycerides
