OBESITY

Obesity is a complex health issue. Obesity results from a combination of causes and contributing factors, including individual factors such as behavior and genetics. Behaviors can include dietary patterns, physical activity, inactivity, medication use, and other exposures. Additional contributing factors in our society include the food and physical activity environment, education and skills, and food marketing.

If either parents are obese, then there is an increased chance that their children will suffer from obesity. Inheritance of obesity is the reason why some newborn babies are also born with obesity. Genetics plays major role in regulating fat regulation in the body. A hormone called Leptin is present in the placenta as well as fat cells in the body. Hence, it can promote obesity to some extent.

Overeating is a very common cause of obesity. If people eat food that is high in sugar, fried food and fast food, ultimately lead to obesity. The frequency of eating also decides the amount of weight gained by an individual. Overeating is a disorder which not only affects physical health but causes a lot of stress at the mental and emotional level also. Due to the excessive intake of food, you are prone to high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

The more the muscles in the body, the faster the metabolism rate is. This is the reason why women have comparatively slower metabolism than men. People who lead an inactive lifestyle with minimal physical activities also tend to gain weight and become obese. Hardening of the arteries, also known as Atherosclerosis, is common in people suffering from obesity. This is because of the deposition of fat along the walls of arteries and blood vessels.
