What Causes Obesity?
Obesity is a problem that has plagued our planet for a very long time. As the word ‘obesity’ suggests, the term refers to a condition where someone’s weight gain is excessive, despite their physical activity levels. This causes a multitude of problems including the following:
Obesity can lead to many medical conditions. In some cases, obesity can lead to a condition known as gout. This is caused by the body becoming too resistant to uric acid. There are many causes of obesity that range from genetic predisposition to lifestyle changes or even lack of physical activity.
Obesity also leads to an increased risk of death. Some of the higher incidences of death related to obesity include deaths due to cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, respiratory diseases, and suicide. Some of the highest death rates from obesity are caused by the increasing rate of obesity-related deaths in the elderly population. These deaths can be attributed to a lack of physical activity, poor diet, and inappropriate levels of alcohol consumption.
Sadly, many people do not take action to lose weight or do not realize the serious effects of obesity on their health and well-being. In fact, many people may think that they are doing fine but eventually get to a point where they must lose some weight to maintain their current lifestyle. So the ultimate question to ask yourself is: Why is it important for me to lose weight?
To answer this question, you need to take the time to determine what causes you to be obese and why you need to lose weight to help you move forward. After understanding what causes you to be obese, you will then be in a better position to decide whether or not it is worth it to lose some weight in order to improve your health and well-being.
