Obesity is currently spreading like an epidemic in the world. Whoever you see is worried about increasing fat. If seen, nowadays people are focusing more on losing weight instead of gaining weight. There are many reasons for obesity but unbalanced diet is considered to be one of its main reasons.
Talking about the new era, obesity is not only increased by eating too much, but stress and other things also increase it. Let us know what things can be responsible for gaining excess weight on the body.
A major reason for increasing obesity is said to be family history i.e. genetic reasons. Due to the genes inherited from parents, some people become obese despite eating less. If there is a history of being overweight in the family, then the children of the coming generation also suffer from being overweight.
Stress, anxiety, all these things are related to the brain but they have a deep connection with obesity. Many previous studies have shown that people who are victims of excessive stress soon become victims of obesity.
When the stress hormone cortisol is active in the body, the person is unable to stop himself from eating too much. Due to this hormone, sleep is also affected and diet also becomes excessive and 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 gain excess fat on the body. Due to new technologies in life, the habit of working is decreasing. In such a situation, physical exertion has reduced and fat is increasing. Therefore, about 30 minutes of exercise every day is considered necessary. Lack of exercise not only increases weight but also invites diabetes, heart and BP related diseases.
Not only the disease, sometimes the medicines taken due to the disease also lead to weight gain. Health experts say that antidepressant-steroid medicines given for many diseases become the cause of weight gain.
