OBESITY – at a glance
Obesity often results from taking in more calories than are burned by exercise and normal daily activities. Obesity occurs when a person’s body mass index is 25 or greater. The excessive body fat increases the risk of serious health problems.
RESPONSIBLE FACTORS for obesity or excess fat are basically one of the following
- Life Style
- Diet
- Lack of Physical Activities
LIFE STYLE can be the key factor deciding your physical status, stamina and weight
Sedentary lifestyle
obesity and sedentary lifestyle coexist. Physical inactivity a leading cause of disease and disability. Sedentary lifestyles increase all causes of mortality, double the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and obesity, and increase the risk of osteoporosis, lipid disorders, depression and anxiety.
Household work – less physical activity due to machines or servants, small families and also assuming my women that household work is all the exercise they needed. Thus imbalance of calorie input and output happens, leading to obesity.
Stress
chronic stress can cause the body to release excess cortisol, a hormone critical in managing fat storage and energy use in the human body. Cortisol is known to increase appetite and may encourage cravings for sugary or fatty foods.
No personal attention ( due to family, kids and other social/professional responsibilities)
So, after attending almost everything else in the world, you just cant spare enough time for your well being !!!
