25 October, 2022Obesity not only makes many people lack confidence in their appearance but also affects their daily activities and is at risk of many dangerous diseases. Let’s learn with Hello Bacsi the top 8 causes of obesity to prevent right now!
1. Genetic causes of obesity
Obesity is closely related to genetic factors. For example, descendants of obese people have a higher risk of developing obesity. Although genetic factors have a large influence on the risk of obesity, this does not mean that carrying the gene will guarantee obesity.
The foods in the daily diet have a great influence on the expression of genes that regulate each trait.
The increasing prevalence of obesity in Western countries is due to the Western diet that is mostly high in fat and fast food.
2. Obesity is caused by processed foods
Processed foods often contain many additives, are cheap, can be preserved for a long time and create a sense of deliciousness. It also indirectly causes consumers to eat processed foods more and more often.
Besides, convenience stores and supermarkets always sell a variety of ready-to-eat foods. These types of fast foods are easy to use, but most are not good for health because they contain a lot of preservatives, fat and salt.
The more popular processed foods are, the more obese people are.
3. Causes of obesity due to food addiction
Some foods such as processed foods, soft drinks, etc. can stimulate the excitement center in the brain and cause addiction. These foods can be addictive in high-risk individuals, causing them to lose control and develop eating disorders.
Food addiction is a complex problem and very difficult to overcome. At this point, you are no longer able to make the choices that the brain signals influence and urge you to eat a lot.
The consequences of binge eating are an increased risk of eating disorders and obesity.
4. Obesity is caused by rampant advertising
Manufacturers of processed food, fast food are always very aggressive to conquer the market to increase sales. Therefore, they have many business strategies and strengthen marketing and advertising anywhere, anytime to be able to reach customers.
Many manufacturers even advertise products aimed at children and adolescents who are not wise enough, as well as knowledgeable and experienced enough to recognize which foods are healthy and healthy.
Attractive advertising is one of the reasons for the rapid increase in the rate of obesity, diabetes and fast food addiction in children.
5. Obesity is caused by insulin resistance
Insulin is an important hormone that helps you control blood sugar, signals fat cells to store fat, and maintains fat. An unhealthy diet can promote insulin resistance in overweight and obese people.
The function of insulin in obesity is controversial. Some studies suggest that insulin resistance may be responsible for obesity.
You should increase to eat more fiber, reduce carbohydrates to control insulin at an acceptable level. This also helps you reduce calories and lose weight effectively.
6. Causes of obesity due to drug use
Some medications have the side effect of causing weight gain. For example, taking antidepressants, diabetes drugs, antipsychotics… These drugs can affect the functioning of the body and brain, reduce metabolic rate or increase appetite.
7. Causes of obesity due to leptin resistance
Leptin is a hormone that plays an important role in diabetes. Leptin is produced by fat cells, leptin levels in the blood increase with an increase in fat.
In healthy people, high levels of leptin can help reduce cravings. If the leptin signaling system is working properly, leptin will notify the brain that the body has stored a lot of fat.
In people who are obese, leptin often doesn’t work as well because leptin can’t cross the blood-brain barrier. The consequence of leptin resistance is that the body does not stop craving food but continues to store a lot of fat and fat and causes obesity.
Leptin resistance is considered one of the main causes of obesity.
8. Obesity is caused by eating a lot of sugar
A diet that consumes too much sugar will change hormone activity and cause weight gain and obesity. Added sugars in foods are half glucose and half fructose. Glucose is found in many foods such as starches and fruits, but most of the fructose is derived from added sugars.
Consuming too much fructose causes insulin resistance and increases insulin levels. This increases energy stores, which is the main cause of obesity in many people.
To lose weight or prevent overweight and obesity, you can do the following:
Avoid sitting for too long, increase exercise.
– Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains.
– Cut down on fat and sugary foods.
Use vegetable oils instead of animal fats.
Exercise regularly and regularly for at least 30 minutes a day.
You can completely prevent the causes of obesity by adjusting healthy living habits and getting regular checkups. If you consistently apply the tips, weight will no longer be an obsession every time you step on the scale. The most important thing is that you will avoid many silent risks to keep your body full of vitality!
