Being fatty and overweight- what is it?
Being overweight is a condition of abnormal or excessive fat stored in the body to the extent that it may have a negative effect on your health. If the weight is spread uniformly over the entire body, it is seen as fatty overweight. Also termed as energetic overweight, the condition can have significant harmful effects like cholesterol, gout, stones, hypertension, coronary thrombosis, diabetes, etc. So what causes this condition:-
1. Heredity factor: There is family tendency to stoutness, which is more often the inheritance of the habit of overeating rather than a truly genetic factor.
2. Aging and obesity: With aging comes the hormonal disturbance, the dysfunction of various body systems that ultimately show their effects on body weight.
3. Overeating issues: It is said that a family's eating patterns can have a major influence on whether children maintain a healthy weight. Overeating is a big problem in many countries and one of the major cause of being obese.
4. A stale body: People hate it when it comes to accepting the fact that they don't maintain a healthy lifestyle of having enough exercise and muscle movement. Stale body becomes overweight pretty easily.
5. Psychological factors: Negative emotions, such as depression, have been found to induce obesity in men and women alike.
6. Effects of glands: Glandular malfunctions of the pituitary gland or the thyroid gland are supposed to the common causes of obesity by medical experts.
