Transformation Of Women Figure

By Jason Longworth

Researches have shown that presently the weight of woman is increased than what it happened to be once in the sixties. The increase in height of the present day woman is nearly about two inches, while shoe size has increased by three numbers. In the sixties, women were leaner, and trim as compared to the women figure today. Majority of the women had 5feet and 2 inches height at that time, but the measurements have changed a lot today.

They also had a small feet size of 31/2 and a size 12 dress often nicely fitted to most. Though they were not as busy as the professional women today are, they had an active lifestyle, and their slimness was also a result of that very 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.

The hip area as well as the chest portion is one, and a half inch increased than it was once. Where the measurements of waist are considered, there is a huge difference of more than six inches, which depicts the larger tummies today. When weight is gained, not only looks bad, but also the health of an individual is greatly affected.

There are certain factors behind these changes in our shapes, for instance, if we are taller now, it is a result of plentiful, and better diet. Now we have all the important nutrients in our diets in a right proportion that are considered essential for proper body growth. This gain in height is also a result of some changes in our environment, as we have warmer homes, better sanitation, and much improved medicines now.

On the other hand, the weight gain is an issue nowadays, and the credit goes to the sluggish lifestyle. Now the people are more inclined towards indoor activities. Rather than staying active, or indulging themselves in energetic activities, they prefer to watch television. There is also little or even no workout on daily basis.

It takes nothing to be heavier as we have become without realising that we have become heavier, but once we get heavier, it takes even months or even years to regain our desired shapes. In addition, once we get out of shape, we reckon it as a part of our destiny to become so. Well, it is not our destiny, but our lifestyle, which makes us so.
