That's because leggings can trigger muscle "lazy" and not propped up with a good belly so it tends to sag. Some physiotherapists warn this is because many women make the leggings as pants everyday.
"Leggings feels comfortable and can make an appearance remains attractive, but there is a downside. Legging is propping quadriceps [thigh muscles], butt muscles and core muscles of the abdomen and perform functions that are supposed to be muscle. As a result, muscles do not work and so it is not tight, "says Sammy Margo, a physiotherapist, was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
This is exacerbated by the function of leggings that can cover the shortage of leg, like big feet or cellulite around the calf. This function could actually make women lazy to exercise to get their beautiful feet.
"Leggings hide the legs that we do not like. So we are lazy to exercise in order to fix it," said Margo.
Not just an ordinary woman who likes to wear leggings. Michelle Obama, Gwyneth Paltrow, Katy Perry and Victoria Beckham, seen often wearing leggings on several occasions. Even in stage fashion, took up its own leggings and lycra leggings started a trend in 2006.
If indeed you are lover of leggings, preferably less risk of muscle "lazy" and abdominal sag with daily exercise. This is to regain muscle strength and body become more toned.
Walk by putting the burden of exercises you can do or withstand the stomach and then release it. The way is easy, simply hold down the abdomen for five seconds and release.
"Hold and release the stomach while exhaling. If necessary, tie a rope around the belly and let it all day," said Margo.
The idea of tying in the stomach is to keep you holding stomach while wearing leggings. In this way the muscles still work effectively. It took about six weeks to see results.
As quoted from the pages of the Daily Mail, the study showed that pregnant women with high levels of bisphenol A in the body has two times greater risk of having a baby suffering from respiratory problems infirst six months. Their babies at risk of developing lung damage, asthma, bronchitis, and allergies.
Bisphenol A or BPA is used to harden plastics, and became one of the chemicals are mass produced. These chemicals can easily be found in products such as milk bottlesinfants, where CDs, food, and food kemasana.
These chemicals are very similar to the hormone estrogen. Therefore, many scientists believe that these substances can interfere with the production of hormones in the body.
Although some experiments on animals shows that BPA is safe for the body, other studies said that BPA can cause breast cancer, liver damage, obesity, diabetes,and fertility problems.
In his research, see Spanier BPA levels in 367 pregnant women. Research at Penn State College of Medicine measured the levels of chemicals in the womb of pregnant women at the age of week 16 and 26.
They found that 99 percent of women contaminated with chemicals in their bodies. Those with high BPA levels at week 16 have a risk of getting a baby with respiratory problems in six monthsThe first two times greater than women who only have low levels of BPA.
However, the study also found that higher BPA concentrations at week 26 and at birth are not associated with the condition.
Some researchers believe that chemicals can disrupt the hormone is more dangerous in early pregnancy. They also advocated for women of childbearing age to avoid products thatcontain BPA.
"This new research adds a reason to reduce the use of these chemicals on the packaging, especially for pregnant women," says Elizabeth Salter Green, Director Chemicals, Health and EnvironmentMonitoring Trust. This is because the developing fetus in the womb are particularly vulnerable to the CPA.
Last year, Denmark became the first country in the EU to prohibit the use of BPA in food and beverage packaging, while the EU has banned the use of BPA in bottles of milk last year. Canada and three U.S. states have imposed any restrictions.
According to scientists, abdominal fat deposits can double the risk of death from heart disease and stroke. As quoted from the pages of the Daily Mail, a study on nearly 16 thousand patients with coronary heart disease, found that abdominal fat deposits can be very dangerous. The effect is the same as smoking and high cholesterol levels tend to be patient.
This discovery adds to evidence that the problems of the heart and blood vessels are not only related to how fat a person. But also, the location of fat deposits. The results of previous studies showing that fat deposits in the abdomen and waist-shaped seberti apples have a greater risk of heart disease. This compared with fat deposits in the abdomen and waist shaped like a pear.
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic, Minnesota, examined the 15 923 patients with coronary heart disease. They found that people with fat around the waist two times greater risk of death from the disease. In The Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Dr. Francisco Lopez-Jimenez stated that fat around the waist is more metabolically active.
"This triggers changes in cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. However, people who have fat deposits around the thighs and buttocks showed no increased risk," he said.
Physicians often assess the risk of coronary heart disease by looking at the patient's body mass index. Body mass index is only obtained from the ratio of height and weight.
But the researchers suggest, patients with heart disease who have normal body mass index to lose weight if you have a large waist.

According to the World Health Organization, WHO, there are currently 7 percent of world population for traits such as thalassemia. Then, nearly 10 percent of Indonesia's population are carriers of the nature of this disease, perhaps even greater.
Thalassaemia is a hereditary disease due to genetic abnormalities in the globin gene or the alpha and beta globin that is not fully formed globin chains. As a result, the production of hemoglobin is reduced. Thus, the age of red blood cells become shorter due to damage.
Genetically, thalassemia is divided into two. Namely alpha thalassemia, which occurs in thalassemia and beta-globin negligent, which occurs in the beta globin. In Indonesia alone, more often found in patients with beta thalassemia.
Based on the degree of disorder, thalassemia is divided into major and minor thalassemia. Patients with thalassemia major require a blood transfusion once every 2 months or once a month depending on levels of hemoglobin in their blood. In addition, it needed the use of iron chelation drugs to neutralize the excess iron in the body. Because excess iron can damage their organs.
"In one day, humans require one milligram of iron, if excessive, the rest will accumulate in the organs of the body. Stockpile of iron in the organs will interfere with the performance of the organ, the organ becomes weak," said Elva Aprilia Nasution, Product Specialist Thalassaemia Prodia , when found in Jakarta.
Stockpiles of iron is often found in the heart. This causes the majority of people with thalassemia major die of heart or weak of heart disease, other than because of HIV and hepatitis due to blood transfusion that is not true.
People with thalassemia major has a characteristic pale-faced and enlarged spleen due to the amount of red blood cells are discarded. Including changes in the form of advances such as herniated discs and bruises, dark patches on the skin due to deposits of iron, growth disorders, and suffer from malnutrition.
In contrast to thalassemia major, thalassemia minor only people with thalassemia trait and do not carry disease. However, people with so-called thalassemia minor or thalassemia trait carriers can produce a thalassemia major child if married to someone who is also a nature.
This disease is a hereditary disease that can not be cured. And, can be transmitted to succeeding generations, the prevention can only be done by avoiding marriage fellow bearer of properties.
Treatment for thalassemia diseases including expensive. According to data from medical laboratories, Prodia, one child may spend Rp200-300 million per year. This fee includes the cost of blood transfusion and iron chelation drugs. If left untreated, children with thalassemia major can only survive a few months or a maximum of 2 years.
How is it prevented?
Before marriage, couples are encouraged to perform health tests through a laboratory examination to determine if they carry the trait or not. If fellow thalassemia carriers marry, they will have the possibility of a child 25 percent normal, 50 percent of the carrier properties, and 25 percent of thalassemia major.
This possibility occurs beracak. If already pregnant, the mother must undergo prenatal testing at 2 months of gestation to determine the condition of newborn infants. If you find a baby suffering from thalassemia major, the couple was given the option to maintain the pregnancy or abortion.
Then, if one spouse is a patient thalassemia major and the other is the bearer of properties, then they will produce a 50 percent chance the child thalassemia major, and 50 percent of the carrier properties. Both of the above conditions is not advisable to have a biological child.
However, if one of the married couples are hereditary, while others are normal, then they have the possibility to have children of 50 percent and 50 percent of the nature of normal.For a person with thalassemia major Who is married to normal people Will They then have the possibility to have children 100 percent of the carrier properties.
Both conditions can still have a biological child. To avoid this and as a first step of prevention, health checks before marriage is essential.
In fact, there are other ways that can be done so that the pain is reduced and you do not consume too much medication. Just try the following four unique tricks, which studies show can reduce pain.
1. SwearIf you experience pain, try swearing. According to the research team from Keele University, UK, cursing or swearing can reduce pain by 35 percent. Vowing trigger a series of physical and hormonal reactions that can ease the pain.
2. View a photo someone dearWhen will be injected or feel pain, look at the photo lover, child, or someone you love, From the study found, women who saw the photographs the couple during laboratory tests, the pain experienced by fewer than those who saw an inanimate object or a stranger. The face of love in effect, reduce the pain processing in the brain.
3. FantasizeAllow the mind to fantasize on things that smell sexy to offset the pain. From research conducted by Johns Hopkins University, known to the respondent can withstand more pain and anxiety decrease when they think something sexual. This compares with respondents who thought of something else.
"Fantasy shifting the focus of thinking about the pain, reduces fatigue and makes it more relaxed," said Hamid Hekmat, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin, as quoted from Prevention.
4. Breathe in the aroma of applesFeeling a headache? Immediately look for the apple-scented soap or deodorant. In a study conducted by the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, someone WHO feels dizzy and smell the apple head pain is reduced. According to researchers, this is due to distraction or possibly the smell of apples to reduce muscle tension in the head and neck, thereby reducing pain.
Depression is a psychiatric condition marked bad mood, low self-esteem and loss of interest in normally enjoyable activities. About 20 percent of people worldwide suffer from depression at some point in their lives.
In the study, as quoted by LiveScience, scientists examined 15 patients with depression, 15 former patients and 27 people without the disorder. They were asked to choose a best candidate from the 40 images to fill the position of secretary.
The result, people with acute depression do the task two times better than those not impaired. From observation, the depressed individual to make better choices because they make decisions five minutes longer.
"People with depression spend more time because they set a higher quality, though they do not realize it," explained the scientist.
The study, published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology is consistent with the theory that depression may improve some mental abilities. Because the process of thinking is more analytical. Decision-making can also be done on daily activities such as managing household or decide on a date.
Because scientists do not find the same effect on the group of depression sufferers who begin to recover or mild depression, experts say his influence as a normal person.
"We found the effect Occurs in People who experience depression than Those WHO begin to recover. This shows That only in a state of acute depression Causes changes in strategic behavior."
The study is in contrast with other studies that claim people with acute depression worse decisions due to disrupted their problems. The same study showed people with depression are able to work better when told not to think about their problems
Researchers believe that too much caffeine in the body can affect the hormones and lead to increasingly smaller breast size. The more coffee a woman consumed, the smaller the size of her breasts.
Nearly 300 women participated in this study. They were asked to answer questions about how many copies are usually taken daily. Their breast size was then measured.
Based on the results of research that has been published in the British Journal of Cancer, drinking three cups of coffee or more per day may reduce breast size. As many as half of the respondents have gene mutations that arise due to coffee intake. This also affects the breast volume.
"Drinking coffee has great influence on breast size," said head of research, Helena Jernstrom from Lund University in Sweden, as quoted by The Telegraph.
However, for coffee lovers do not worry that your breasts will disappear. "Breasts will only shrink, and not likely to disappear," he said.
Women who drank more than three cups of coffee per day breasts will shrink by 17 percent. This is compared with those who drank less than three cups of coffee per day.
The researchers also found that this is more risky in women who have large breasts. But unfortunately, this study can not conclude whether drinking large amounts of coffee per day can affect breast density.
Info which is encouraging coffee consumption appeared to have a positive impact on breast health, reducing the risk of breast cancer.
Researchers believe that the effects of coffee have an impact on the hormone estrogen and can affect testosterone levels. Actually no problem drinking coffee every day, provided it is not excessive.
