What Causes Obesity

Obesity means a condition where the body weight of a person if she comes 20% or more above the normal body temperature, weight.
Obesity increases the risk of developing high blood pressure, diabetes (type 2), heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease and breast cancer, prostate cancer and colon cancer.
United States to be about 300,000 deaths per year directly Obesity ........
It is not only a danger to health, it is a life-threatening disease as well.
Understanding what causes obesity will help you to fight effectively.
And surprise! Surprise! One might think that "no movement and over-nutrition" are the culprits .......
These two are obviously the most important causes, as we bombarded daily with plenty of foods high in calories, but because of our lifestyles more and more sedentary, we perceive at all or does not do enough exercise, so we really fight hard to not become fat.
But there are other reasons - other than the "Big Two" - "no exercise and overeating" that contribute to obesity.
Ahem ....... If you hate exercise and like to eat, you can now breathe easy knowing that "no exercise and overeating" are not the only culprits that cause obesity ......
Absolutely. I bet you want to know what these other factors that cause overweight know ..... Let's take a look at it and see if they resonate with you.
Insufficient sleep is what causes obesity
You are surprised?
They think it should be the other way around, right? It is not enough to lose weight would you sleep (because it affects the health of your body), not to gain weight!
However, several studies have shown that there is a correlation between the amount of sleep and weight gain .....
The first is the health of the U.S. and Nutrition Examination Survey, which means that if you sleep less than 7 hours per night, you have found a higher body mass index (BMI) of people who are more prone person-hours.
The other is a study of the Nurses' Health conducted the United States, following the 68,000 women for 16 years in which he finds that women who sleep an average of 5 hours by weight gain overnight, that women, 6 hours of sleep, which in turn more weight gain than women who sleep 7 hours.
Researchers have suggested that obesity is so, because if you do not get enough sleep, how you can increase your metabolism leptin are altered to reduce the hormone, the satiety signals while ghrelin, the hormone that hunger signals increase and this stimulates the appetite .
We all know that obesity affects sleep, so that the results of these studies indicate that insufficient sleep can lead to weight gain really say is "eye-opening" .......
And we sleep less, it is a fact that we can not deny, given our hectic lifestyle and quality of life demands placed on us Firece.
Americans slept an average of 8.5 hours per night in 1960. In a 2002 survey by the National Sleep Foundation, the median time to less than 7 hours per night was reduced.
The results show that sleep decreased partially brought to an increased obesity compound was prepared.
Effects are overweight during pregnancy, because it
The chances that you might be fat to be solved, at least partially, before you were born. It is shown that obese mothers likely birth of children who are overweight themselves could be later in life.
One could say that this is largely genetic, but there are indications that some "intrauterine programming" which took place here.
In the study of mice during pregnancy, the offspring of mice fed with high fat foods tend to be thicker than the offspring of mice fed a normal diet.
Fertile fat equals - that is, what causes obesity
If you're older, you'll probably have more children. A study of North Dakota Minot State University conducted exhaustive.
It shows that it has a weak but significant correlation between BMI and reproductive rates than normal-weight women, on average, 3.2 children, while overweight and obese women have an average of 3.5 children.
The interesting question is:
Women with more children do gain weight, or the cause of overweight and obese women to produce more children?
The answer is probably both.
With more children will increase your chances of climbing in the "rich" country, if for no other reason than poor sleep.
Lower on the other side, as overweight or obese can lead to socio-economic status, which in turn is associated with having more children together, said the study.
In the age is older What causes obesity
Well, if you're older, you tend to be larger than the others!Investigation by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics found that if you were aged 40 to 79, her three times more likely to be heavier than those who were younger age.
The most likely reason?
Ah ... Sigh .... Due to the decrease in the metabolism ......
As you get older, slow food, the ability to metabolize your body. For this reason you will find that you eat the same amount of food and do the same activities as you when you were 20 did, but at the age of 40, you gain weight.
Effects of temperature cause obesity
Studies have shown that the temperature just right, you have less energy, resulting in less body fat burn use. In the warmer ambient temperature, you sweat more, which in turn consumes more energy.There are also indications that the amount of food intake reduce warmer in the middle.
Stop smoking or smoke less to you causes obesity
If you are a smoker, you are probably thinner than the other. So if you reduce or quit smoking altogether, stack the books, but it is unclear why this is so ..... Probably because nicotine is an appetite suppressant and apparently can increase your metabolic rate .. ...
The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics estimated that smokers to kick the habit have been responsible for a small but significant part of the obesity epidemic in the United States.
The center works that smokers who stop in the last decade are likely to be overweight than smokers and those who never smoke.Among men, almost 50% of former smokers are overweight, compared with 37% of Non smoking and 28% of smokers.
The pollution can cause obesity
Our environment became more polluted and, inevitably, we are more on pollutants such as industrial chemicals (dyes, plastic wastes, pesticides, herbicides, gaseous compound, solvent ....) exposed.
There is evidence that small amounts can lead to weight gain some of these chemicals. Studies have shown that when people are exposed to these chemicals in food, the higher is the degree of toxicity in food, more body weight.
This is because some of these chemicals endocrine disruptors, which are interfering with the functions of hormones such as estrogen.
You know, when your hormones (estrogen) is not working well, it does mess with your body, including weight gain?
Drug use is, what causes obesity
Some medications have serious side effects - one of the most common - weight gain.
Want to know what drugs?
Well, drugs for high blood pressure, is one.
Drugs for the treatment of HIV is quite another.
Drugs for the treatment of endometriosis Endometriosis is a classic example that fatten you.
Birth control pills are pounds pile on you.
Medicines for diabetes, you do pad .....
So do not be too dependent on drugs .....
First child in older women - a cause of obesity
The average age of women at first birth in the United States has increased from 21.4 years in 1970 to 24.9 years in 2000.
The implication is that an older woman seems at first birth, a risk factor for obesity.
The results of the U.S. National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute study found that the chances of a child obese increases
about 14% for each additional 5 years or mother if it is not clear why safe.
Could poor sleep causes it? Probably not.
Also represented with decreasing size of families, a larger proportion of first-born population - as the evidence, in which the United States in 1976, had 9.6% of women in their 40s a child, but in 2004 the proportion of 17.4% increase. This combination of older women and more single children could contribute to the obesity epidemic.
As such, Marier - a cause of obesity
I'm sure you've seen the model -
We tend to marry for appearance.
So we have so clever when it comes to body size .....
If you are thin, you are more likely to marry a thin person, and if you are fat, then you are more likely to get married to an overweight person ...
In itself this would not be responsible for the increase in obesity, but if other factors such as genetics and obese people have more children, they could increase the obesity increase from other causes.
In summary, obesity is not a single cause, but is multifactorial.
The causes are discussed here by no means exhaustive ...
You may have other causes such as genetics, overeating, a slower metabolism, sex, disease, psychological factors, diet rich in simple carbohydrates, the frequency of consumption of ...
S-o-o-O-O,
You can then jump for joy, because "no exercise and overeating" are not the only major cause of obesity? Since you hate your workout, and like to eat? (Are not we all?)
Can we not exercise and eat without limits?
Hey, definitely not! A fair amount of exercise and healthy eating are still on the map for you ...
What obesity researchers trying to say is this -
if one of the causes of obesity, we think, in general refer to "no movement and over-nutrition" that the guilty ...
Oh they are.
But if you are still on the heavy side to make, even after plenty of exercise and eat healthy, then you can see, this "huge" two factors, namely the real reason (s) for your search weight problem.
Other factors, such as those mentioned above could lead to obesity and ...
It is good for you to discover, to better respond to your problem.
However, should a healthy lifestyle, the habit of exercise and a healthy diet should be your first priority to educate, to ward off further weight gain.
If you do this, the weight loss, even as small as 10% of your body weight to improve your health ...
