Causes and Complications of Obesity
Obesity is a complex and often chronic condition with numerous causes. Unlike being merely overweight, obesity isn't typically a result of overeating alone. Research indicates that genetics play a significant role in determining the risk of obesity. Those with morbid obesity often have a family history of weight issues. However, other factors can increase susceptibility to obesity.
Environmental factors often work alongside genetic predispositions. If genetic factors predispose you to obesity, the prevalent lifestyle and environmental conditions in places like America can make weight control challenging. Environmental influences include the abundance of fast food outlets, the necessity of car travel in suburban areas, and sedentary office jobs. These factors can affect metabolism and fat storage. For individuals with morbid obesity, significant lifestyle changes are often necessary to achieve a healthy weight.
Metabolism also plays a critical role in obesity. Previously, it was believed that weight loss was simply about burning more calories than consumed. However, newer research suggests the existence of a "set point" in the brain, which acts as a gauge to prevent significant weight fluctuations. If you drastically reduce calorie intake, your brain may lower your metabolism and decrease activity levels, causing your body to regain lost weight.
Obesity is associated with numerous health complications, each posing serious threats. One common issue is depression, especially after repeated failed dieting attempts, leading to feelings of inadequacy and a deteriorating self-image.
Diabetes frequently occurs in obese individuals due to insulin resistance, which can lead to various health issues and affect numerous organs and systems.
Heartburn and acid reflux are prevalent among those with obesity, potentially causing pain and requiring treatments or surgery. Chronic acid reflux can even lead to throat cancer.
These are just a few complications linked to obesity, with many more possible. The conditions mentioned are among the most common and often inevitable if one suffers from obesity.
