Did you know that weight gain is not always the result of poor nutrition and low physical activity? Extra pounds can be the result of pathological processes in the body. Therefore, keeping track of your weight is extremely important. And immediately sound the alarm if they began to gain weight "just like that."
It’s not just that. You need a medical consultation.
Obesity reasons
When adipose tissue grows, it is always unpleasant. And the figure becomes less attractive, and health problems arise, and it is difficult to move.
But why is this happening? There are several reasons:
1. Psychological moments
For many, eating during times of stress or lack of sleep is a sedative. And uncontrolled food consumption leads to a set of kilograms.
2. Improper nutrition
This is perhaps the most common cause of weight gain. If the diet is full of fatty, and with it carbohydrate food, the kilograms "stick" by leaps and bounds. By the way, body weight can grow if you eat only once or twice a day.
3. Lack of physical activity
In this situation, any person gets more than he spends. And the rest is stored in fat. Today people are sitting more and more - at the computer, in front of the TV, etc. You should go for a walk at least once a day, do exercises in the morning.
4. Bad habits
Both smoking and alcohol in large quantities affect the body in the most unfavorable way. All this slows down metabolic processes and increases the likelihood of gaining weight.
5. Diseases
So what diseases lead to weight gain?
1. Hypothyroidism
With this disease, the thyroid gland malfunctions (its performance is noticeably reduced). The hormonal background is disrupted, and this affects the performance of the body as a whole. There is a deterioration in all metabolic processes, which means that food is not absorbed as needed and immediately passes into fat. In this case, obesity occurs gradually, and the patient notices something amiss when the weight has already reached a critical point.
2. Polycystic ovary
This disease is accompanied by hormonal disruption, leading to increased production of male hormones in women. An excess of insulin enters the bloodstream, and the "unnecessary" glucose is converted into fat.
3. Dysfunction of the adrenal cortex.
This pathology is also fraught with hormonal disruptions - the stress hormone begins to be produced in large quantities, activating the desire to eat, and also the need to store fat mass.
4. Hypothalamic dysfunction
A person suffering from these disorders becomes a habit of overeating. And an excess of food always leads to gaining excess body weight. And excess weight is almost always the result of hormonal disruptions.
