Causes of Obesity

Regarding the origins of obesity, a response can sometimes seem obvious: too much food.Indeed, it is common for obese people eat too much, but it is not always the case, and some they eat relatively little. Conversely, we see skinny people who ingest daily calorie intake high.

Disruption of the thyroid gland involves the production of a hormone whose influence on our body storing fat, leads to overweight.

Moreover, it is likely that the disorder is at the time of digestion, some people do not produce enough heat. Post prandale thermogenesis, heat production after a meal, participate in the aggravation of obesity. Despite energy expenditure or calorie diets, some individuals maintain their weight above the standard.
Finally, some types of diabetes cause disturbances in the body, specifically the level of fat storage by adipose tissue.

Unequal in the food, individuals must still moderate their consumption of sugar and fat. Thus, obesity is recognized as a disease in 1997, making every developed country. In those countries where wealth has become widespread, cases of obesity are increasing. The manifestation of this disease in children confirms the impact of the quantity and quality of food ingested on obesity of the patient.

Finally, it is important to note that in most cases, the hormonal system works perfectly well, and it would be not only unnecessary but dangerous, to treat obesity by hormonal treatment. A regime of good conduct, under medical supervision, often helps to regain weight in normal limits.

But we must differentiate the mere overweight, appearing in adulthood, in the "good life" , the true obesity, where weight is more than 20% of the theoretical ideal weight, and when the BMI is above 27 . The latter is also often associated with poor food hygiene, or even to real behavioral problems regarding food, such as bulimia or continual snacking.

It is necessary to address this problem with a doctor, who can detect the error food may prescribe a diet, or even hospitalization if necessary.

Behaviors that promote obesity

For lack of time, the dishes needed in the refrigerators of household. Easy to use, these products are often much richer in fat than the products fresh and not pre-cooked.

Regular consumption of foods from fast food also contributes to the absorption of fat mass. Far from being vital, these contributions involve eating behaviors, focusing on fatty foods at the expense of lean.

But beyond the eating habits of other factors such as stress, lack of sleep , consumption of antidepressant or a nomadic lifestyle promotes obesity.

Inequality morphologies

It may, in part, blame differences in physical activity, but this does not explain all differences. We must recognize that there is some inequality in terms of weight gain. People to whom food"benefits" will have to eat too much less than others, not only lose weight but also to maintain a stable weight. You often hear people say: "I just have to pass a pin to grow" .

This is probably exaggerated, but there is something true: recent studies on obesity have shown that the sight of food at home has a different effect, and triggers hormonal and metabolic processes very fast which can lead to weight gain.

Whether the causes are genetic, behavioral or morphological, when the body receives more than it spends, it stores a portion of the contribution, as fat in adipose tissue.
