The occurrence and treatment of obesity

The balance between the amount of calories consumed and expended should remain normal and not have serious deviations in one direction or another. It is the preservation of the optimal balance that is responsible for such an indicator as the optimal weight of a person. If the number of calories consumed far exceeds the expenditure, there is an excess of nutrients, which is deposited in the form of excess fat deposits. Thus, the most basic indicators of the appearance of overweight are reduced physical activity, as well as constant overeating. The results of this can be disastrous. Obesity can cause problems such as heart failure, infertility, impotence in men, and more.

However, despite the fairly understandable reasons, not everything turns out to be so simple, since there are certain additional factors that significantly affect the increase in body weight:

- genetic predisposition is based on a high risk of obesity if both parents have it; the main factor here is the lack of a hormone that regulates appetite;

- overeating is especially dangerous when eating a large amount of fat, sugar;

- the use of a large amount of simple carbohydrates leads to a sharp increase in blood sugar, which contributes to the intensive production of insulin and is a serious factor that helps in the formation of adipose tissue;

- according to some reports, even the ambient temperature has an effect on appetite, that is, in the winter season, appetite rises sharply; in this case, it is possible to regulate the process using bimetallic radiators, which contribute to the rapid heating of the premises;

- physical activity, or rather its lack affects the slowing down of metabolism and affects the formation of excess weight.

Psychological factors or the use of certain drugs, such as antidepressants, antidiabetic drugs, hormonal and anticonvulsant drugs, are also of great importance.
