How is obesity caused

With the continuous development of the social economy, people's living standards have been improved. People pursue not only satiety but also deliciousness when it comes to eating. However, many delicious dishes are high in calories, such as fried Mantou, sour and hot fish, hot pot, barbecue, etc. These foods are too greasy and spicy, and the calories consumed are more than the body needs, which will be converted into fat and deposited in the body. So people will gain weight. So, how is obesity caused?

Internal factors

1. Endocrine abnormalities: such as adrenal cortex hyperactivity, excessive insulin, and hypothyroidism.

2. Genetics: If the parents have normal weight, the probability of obesity in the child is 7%. If one parent is obese, the probability of obesity in the child is 40%. If both parents are obese, the probability of obesity in the child is as high as 80%.

External factors

1. Psychological factors: psychological imbalance. For example, depression seeks comfort through diet.

2. Dietary habits: Developing bad eating habits from a young age. Reason for work: For example, socializing. Changes in exercise intensity: due to a decrease in basal metabolic rate, an increase in leisure sleep time, and a decrease in energy consumption [SEP]. 3. Factors related to exercise: Exercise helps to burn fat. In daily life, with the development of transportation, mechanization of work, and a reduction in household chores, there are fewer opportunities for the body to burn calories. On the other hand, obesity is formed because the energy intake has not decreased. Obesity leads to slower and lazier daily activities, further reducing calorie consumption and creating a vicious cycle that promotes the occurrence of obesity. There are many reasons why obesity is caused. Obesity can be divided into simple obesity and secondary obesity, both of which result in weight gain due to increased body fat. The difference is that simple obesity is mostly caused by some lifestyle habits of people, while secondary obesity is virtual obesity, which is caused by some drug stimulation. Diet is an important method for treating obesity. By making some changes in diet and engaging in physical exercise, weight can be reduced and health restored.
