Major Causes of weight gain !!

  • Obesity has a strong genetic component. Children of obese parents are much more likely to become obese than children of lean parents
  • By making foods as tasty as possible, food manufacturers are trying to increase sales. But they also promote overeating.
  • Not drinking enough water can cause us to eat excess calories that could lead to weight gain.
  • The drugs may affect metabolism negatively. And since depression is often accompanied by a disinterest in food
  • Another pool of thought is that once antidepressants become effective, people regain their appetites and overeat.
  • Junk foods can cause addiction in susceptible individuals. These people lose control over their eating behavior
  • High insulin levels and insulin resistance are linked to the development of obesity. To lower insulin levels, reduce your intake of refined carbs and eat fiber
  • Research also shows that when we’re sleep-deprived, our brains respond more strongly to junk food and have less of an ability to practice portion control
  • Some medications may promote weight gain by reducing the number of calories burned or increasing appetite.
  • Scientists believe that excessive sugar intake may be one of the main causes of obesity.
