There are many direct and indirect reasons for a person to become overweight and obese, such as:
Fast Food
Foods with excessive sugar
Diary Products
Alcohol Consumption
Fatty and processed meats
Fired Food
Sweetened juices and sodas
High carb processed foods
Lack of sleep A lack of sleep not only makes you look and feel tired, you also might gain weight! The lack of sleep reduces the hormone production of ‘Leptin’, an appetite-suppressing hormone, and, in return, increases the production of ‘Ghrelin’, the so-called ‘hunger hormone’, stimulating appetite and fat storage in the body. Lack of movement People following a mainly sedentary lifestyle, which involves a lot of sitting, and less to no physical activities or exercise, are at a high risk of weight gain, and therefore obesity.
Medication side-effects According to the ‘The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism’, certain types of medication are directly linked to a patient’s weight gain, such as
Atypical antipsychotics
Anticonvulsants and mood stabilisers, and specifically
Hypoglycaemic medications
Antidepressants
Glucocorticoids used to treat rheumatoid arthritis
Endocrine disruptors Recent research, published by the ‘World Journal of Gastroenterology’, pointed outut the th evidence between the intake of liquid fructose, a type of sugar that is in corn syrup, and the occurrence of fatty liver and Cardiometabolic Syndrome. In order to avoid obesity, the consumption of any ‘endocrine disrupters’ (chemicals that interfere with our hormone levels), should be not only reduced, but completely avoided. Genes A person’s genetic predisposition can play a significant role in weight gain. Recent research has discovered that the faulty ‘fat-mass and obesityassociated gene’ (FTO), is responsible for cases of obesity. In addition, the so-called ‘hunger hormone’ Grhelin has an impact on our eating behaviour, as it stimulates appetite, and promotes fat storage.
