Abs: a VISUAL TREAT or RETREAT



I heard lot about six pack and eight pack abs since our so called celebs got themselves so much busy into Abs building tiff. They brought awareness about Abs on larger level with their ego & stature related complexes & clashes which is unavoidable in the show & glamour business. I understand that its very justified when people have to sell their looks and silver screen glamour because thats the ultimate product "themselves". Every business and product keeps improving their quality in their own arena so abs building and beauty enhancements are certainly justified here.

This thing has done good to young people too by at least making them understand that He is sure gonna look dashing like a rock star and impress girls and may be even land a chance on ramp or movies. Its always true that everything has both the elements of good and bad and best part is that people in doing all this have unknowingly become health conscious and feeling of looking good adds to the mental well being which in turn adds to ones health. I wrote "unknowingly" because most of the gym going guys and girls mostly do it without understanding health, its more like a trend and style for them where one is following the other and gym owners in turn rush to banks. I have seen people taking body building pills and trying Zero size without understanding the health risks but this is one ugly part of good looking business like other businesses have theirs.

Its too disturbing when I see obese people on tv, in trains, inside airports and any other public place. Stomach bulge in the front and hip bulge at back makes a complete S.
Recently too, during my one month trip I mostly tried finding people with flat stomach and I found very few in numbers who looked like having flat stomach. I saw men, women, children and even these days dogs getting lot of fat under their skin. More interesting aspect is that people carry it like some prized possession, showing it so proudly as if competing for the largest bulge. Imagine people wearing skin tight clothing without realising their haywired figure . Best go online and read something about this bulge, its dangerous too.

At an age of 24 and 27 people are looking like uncles and bear dads and imagine they use anti-aging cosmetics. First they could have worked on their "S" which would eliminate their need of anti-aging cosmetics. When we have terms like 6 pack and 8 pack then why not 1 pack ab. I know and everyone knows that most of the physical aspects are natural like height,color of the skin or genetic complications(sometimes obesity too) but not the fat under skin. Most of the population carries this because of their lifestyle and food habit. Its truly disturbing when one makes a serious effort of looking at people around with research like thinking.

I myself found more than 80% of people on my trip in obese conditions. I saw few friends removing their clothes with their belly almost falling down & instant reaction on this was "shall I catch it before it falls". Trust me that most of the time such people are so handsome and beautiful but that whole "S" factor with nothing good in it just comes up. SURELY most of the time visual treats can happen unless we make it retreat...
