The old process which marked by declining in organ function can be prevented, resisted, and even restored. One effective effort is to reduce the risk factors, especially obesity with all the complication. According to Prof. Walujo Soerjodibroto from the Department of Nutrition Sciences, Medicine Faculty, University of Indonesia in the scientific symposium, obesity with all its complications is the most important risk factors to become old more early.
The older process is going since in the womb to elderly. This is not only a problem related to appearance or aesthetics, but also the organs ability. When organ function disturbed because of illness, the physiological age can be older than the real age, so that the quality of life will decrease.
Obesity is one of things that influence the development of the disease and quality of life. According to dr Suharto from Specialist of Sports Medicine, obesity associated with a risk factor of cardiovascular such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and life expectancy.
Changing the paradigm
Obesity problem is chronic and very difficult to overcome. According Walujo, early prevention efforts is easier to achieve success; that is when the patient’s condition is still overweight.
Obesity therapy associated with a reduction in food that is not convenient and often fails. Ideally, Obesity therapy involves two main aspects, reduce in consume the food and increase expenditure of energy with sport activity.
If the program can be followed by well, the patient gets a reward for feeling comfortable because successfully lose his weight. If he do not discipline, he will not get such fun experience.
Patients also need assistance, such as medication, nutrition and health counseling, including behavior modification, acupuncture, and all the way to improve self-therapy without prejudice health. A quick and safe is hypnotherapy.
Regular physical exercise is the key factor of obesity prevention. To balance between feed with calorie expenditure, muscle activity will need to reserve. Decrease in body weight will occur with positive changes in cardiovascular function, respiration, metabolism, and general health.

Treatmant of Obesity (and overweight) will give the best result if "behaviour modification" is included in the program. However, this is a very long time process, and seldom gives satisfactory results. One way to overcome this is by using "Medical Hypno-therapy" for mindset change This is an old science but still effectively applicable in modern medical practice.
