Discussion
Obesity as a disease of the modern age reduces life quality and
satisfaction severely. Thus, effective prevention strategies are
required to minimize its occurrence. Confusion and controversy
exist on the relative importance of eating and exercise in helping to
prevent obesity. This article, therefore, provides a new perspective
that highlights how a delicate balance between eating and exercise
can reduce obesity.
Eating and exercise must have tting circadian patterns to target the
same goal.1–4 Since eating is usually practiced on given rhythms (e.g.,
a minimum of three times major meal eating plus inter-meal snacks
and fruits), it’s tting exercise must also occur on certain rhythms
such that substrate supply and oxidation rates are harmonized.5–7 Any
uncertainty or irregularity in performing exercise may exacerbate
the problem.8–12 One obvious example is when exercise is conducted
irregularly (e.g., once in a while) and over-intensely that stimulates
appetite and causes overeating. The latter increases energy deposition
and fuels a prolonged imbalance of substrate supply and oxidation in
favour of energy supply and obesity.
Exercise does not need to be over-intense to augment weight loss
and prevent obesity. As long as it is practiced regularly, intensely
and joyfully, exercise can fuel a prolonged gradual balance between
nutrient supply and oxidation that prevents unnecessary weight gain.
An ideal strategy is to have physical activity every day and multiple
times a day. However, successful strategies include exercising daily
or every other daily but intensely enough to cause sweating and
prolonged rises in heart rate. Having intense physical activity for
only once a week would neither be sufcient nor completely healthy.
Morning eating and evening exercise are additional examples in
creating a healthy balance between eating and exercise.13
Perfectly, each and every eating-sitting session should have its
corresponding energy-burning exercise session.14–17 The desperately
busy lifestyle may not allow this to be realized. Nonetheless, what can
be done are reduced eating-sitting and increased exercise to maintain
a balance between nutrient supply and oxidation.3–5 For example,
taking multiple small meals a day and performing at least one intense
exercise session daily or every other daily help in narrowing the
balance gap. Maintaining such a balance can be critical in securing a
quality cancer-free lifestyle.2
Implication
Exercise must be performed regularly and frequently and not
necessarily over-intensely but infrequently. Irregular and infrequent
exercise can greatly increase appetite and eating and cause obesity.

Abstract
Obesity as a rising problem of the modern age requires meticulous prevention
strategies. This article highlights the significance of a balance between eating and
exercise in overcoming obesity. Increased irregular exercise can greatly increase
appetite and eating and cause obesity. Care must be taken to maintain regular and
moderately intense patterns of exercise to have eating under control.

Obesity is an undesired human physiological state caused by a lot of inherent risks and environmental influences. People with obesity commonly face a lot of negative personal image in the society and a number of medical and economic consequences. However weight loss after different types of interventions are often temporary and even bounce back than ever before. To face with this kind of therapeutic limitation, new ideas, perspectives and systematic action must be carried out.

Obese managements encompass wide-spectra of medical/pharmacologic issues that exhibit a seriously economic burden-including diet control, life-style adjustments, high-quality exercises, surgery, drug utility and clinical therapeutics [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. All these management systems require 190 billion USD (2010 -2012) that attribute 20% all healthcare expenditure in the US [5]. ...

Obesity is a prevalence metabolic phenotype caused by host-environmental interactions. Heavy financial burden is translate to obese people. Many types of preventive and therapeutic options have been widely sought after. However, most of these medications are temporal and expensive. In order to improve this special type of energy disturbance, glucose homeostasis and adipose dysfunc-tion, further pathological and therapeutic investigations are desperately needed. To fully adapt human body in a good-shape, genetic, molecular, physiological, behavior, environmental and clinical approaches are in full swing now.
... This cascade acts to optimize splanchnic tissue metabolism and health towards reduced fat deposition both viscerally and peripherally. Moreover, it is expected that the likelihood of the gut related disorders and issues such as cancer in splanchnic organs would decrease remarkably [6,7]. Furthermore, satiety signals would work properly and appetite would be controlled efficaciously with adequate, intense, and regular physical activity. ...

A novel gastrointestinal tract (gut) mediated exercise theory was developed to explain how highly disciplined physical activity can help prevent obesity and cancer. The gut serves the modern human body as another brain. The gut microbiota plays crucial regulatory roles in determining the health of the gut itself and entire body. Adequate exercise has been recommended to increase energy expenditure and reduce fat deposition, especially visceral adiposity. This article presents a gut-brain axis related theory based upon which with adequately intense and regular physical activity, the gut does assimilate foods and nutrients more effectively. Thus, the amount and flow of excreta are optimized. As such, the excretion of unhealthy compounds such as cholesterol, fatty acids, and to some extent starch increase. As a result, hepatic load of nutrients decrease. Consequently, the entire body tissues experience a relief in the time-consuming and energy-burning process of metabolite turnover and detoxification. Therefore, regular intense exercise does not only reduce unhealthy nutrient deposition, it can also decrease appetite and nutrient intake. This theory should permit innovative research to formulate new gut-centered public recommendations regarding the importance of adequate regular exercise to help prevent obesity and cancer and associated metabolic complexities.
... Since eating occurs daily, exercise must also occur daily. It is only with such a close relation between eating and exercise that body can tolerate the nutrients that it consumes [1][2][3][4][5]. ...

The objective of this public health article was to describe a rhythmic united system of circadian intake and exercise patterns to reduce prediabetes and diabetes. This program is based on a feasible practice to prescribe a sufficiently intense physical work for any key food meal. This program must be supplemented by small frequent food meals distributed evenly during day and no major meal overnight. Therefore, major exercise is a must every day or at the very least every other day. No longer has exercise interval protected perfectly the modern human against diabetes.

This article highlights the pragmatic significance of running as a working probiotic for humans worldwide. Running promotes gut health and immunity through known and unknown mechanisms and contributes to improved cardiovascular function and health. It is feasible that running postpones aging and acts as a strong antic-cancer. Research is needed to further elaborate on these.
