Obesity is currently spreading like an epidemic throughout the world. The one you see is worried about the increase in fat. If we see it, nowadays people focus more on weight loss than weight gain. There are many causes of obesity, but an unbalanced diet is considered one of the main causes.
Talking about the new era, obesity is not only increased by overeating, but stress and other factors also increase it. Let us know what things can be responsible for excess weight gain on the body.
One of the main reasons for the increase in obesity is said to be family history, i.e. genetic reasons. Due to genes inherited from parents, some people become obese even if they eat less. If there is a history of being overweight in the family, children in the next generation will also suffer from it.
Stress, anxiety, all of these things are linked to the brain but they have a deep connection to obesity. Many previous studies have shown that people who experience excessive stress quickly become victims of obesity.
When the stress hormone cortisol is active in the body, the person is unable to stop themselves from overeating. Due to this hormone, sleep is also affected and diet also becomes excessive. In such a situation, weight gain is natural.
In today’s life, where people do not have time to exercise their arms and legs, it has become common to accumulate excess fat on the body. Due to new technologies in life, the habit of working is decreasing. In such a situation, physical exertion decreases and fat increases. Therefore, around 30 minutes of exercise per day is considered necessary. Lack of exercise not only increases weight but also promotes diseases related to sugar, heart and blood pressure.
Not only the disease, but sometimes the medications taken due to the disease also lead to weight gain. Health experts say that antidepressant-steroid medications given for many illnesses become the cause of weight gain.
