Finding the Homeopathic Solution to Obesity

Many have weighed in on the problem of obesity. It has, undoubtedly, earned its name "obesity epidemic." The problem continues to flare out of control even amidst increased awareness.

The problem is multi-faceted due to the multiple causes behind the problem. One potential cause of obesity is the basic genetic makeup. Obesity very noticeably tends to run in families. This makes it seem obvious that the tendency for obesity is passed along genetically. The actual statistics indicate that children of obese parents have a 25 to 30% chance of experiencing similar obesity issues. Some believe this increased risk is simply biologic.

Others believe that the increased risk is a combination of biologic and cultural factors. In addition to inheriting genes, children are learning eating and activity habits from their family. Poor eating habits and poor nutritional choices can lead to weight issues and negative health repercussions.

Cultural factors are a major problem when it comes to the obesity epidemic. Society accepts and even prizes high fat, high sugar and high calorie food. Many regard huge portion sizes as advantageous. A large portion of society does not exercise regularly.

The increase in the instances of mental health issues and day to day emotional problems also exacerbates the problem. Depression, stress, boredom, anxiety...they all increase the risk for overeating which increases the risk for weight issues/obesity. The regular occurrence of this kind of emotional and mental issue in a large portion of society also makes overeating a more regular occurrence; leading to an increased number of overweight/obese individuals.

Designating the cause of the obesity epidemic and society's seeming inability to overcome it is not as easy as it may at first appear. The epidemic has gained strength from the negative habits of today's society. It has begun infecting our families with negative nutritional patterns that are being taught by example and passed to the next generation. To stop it there must be decisive action. Some are taking the decisive action to start make a change by first changing their own, personal situation. They are turning to homeopathic HCG weight loss.
