Transformation Of Women Figure
Studies have depicted that the present day woman is quite different from the one in sixties. She is not only different in size, and bulk, but also the way she is leading her life. The entire dimensions of woman have changed now. She is comparatively more bulky, tall, and even the shoe size is also increased than it was before. It has been seen that in sixties majority of the British women have slender body with 5 feet n 2 inches of height. In addition, the figure was quite slim at that time.
The shoe size was relatively smaller that time, which is 31/2, and most of the women were slim enough to wear the size 12 dress. The lifestyle too was very different before. Today, majority of the women work in offices while at that time the women were more active than they are today. The slim and trim figures may be due to the then active lifestyle.
Let us directly jump to 2009, and we notice that we were never as careful about our figures as we are now, but still most among us have ballooned. We are taller, bulkier, and less curvilinear as it has been pointed out by the UK National women figure Survey.
The UK survey was conducted in 1951 last time, but you can easily see the difference between the survey statements, and the present day women figure. It is very astonishing overall. Although it is good to have a bit taller height, but the weight, and shoe size have increased as well, which is quite fearful. Today, the hourglass figure constitutes measures like 38-34-40. Alas! Many women are striving hard to attain the same ideal figures.
Now hips are nearly one, and a half inch bigger, and so are the busts, and when it comes to waist, there is a difference of six and a half inches, which indicates that almost all of us have a little, or somewhat bigger tummy. These changes have not only affected our looks, but they have also cast their impacts on our health.
There are several factors, which are held responsible for all these changes. The increase in height is the positive impact of the healthy and well balanced diet today. Now, the nutrients present in the diet are ample, which are helpful in better growth. However, the environmental changes also play a key role in the increase in height. On the other hand, better medication, warmer homes, and improved sanitation are also one of the factors.
The increase in weight is a result of our somewhat lethargic lifestyles, now we like to glue in front of TV sets instead of taking part in some other activity. We like to go for walks or opt for cycling when we feel that we have become bulkier, and heavier, otherwise, we are not willing to pay any attention to such sort of activities.
It is very easy to put on weight, but it takes all your energy to loose a single pound in quite a lot of time. To get bulkier is not the destiny; in fact, it is your careless attitude towards life.
