Check yourself - some of them are quite unexpected
Why are we getting fat?
Here is my personal rating of the reasons, in descending order.
1. We eat too much.
Violation of the balance of energy received with food and spent in the course of physical activity, in favor of the former. Scientists have documented a significant increase in consumption of simple carbohydrates and saturated fat over the past 50 years.
2. Moving too little.
Everything is clear here, it does not need to be deciphered.
3. We sleep little, at the wrong time.
Disruption of the body's circadian rhythms - working the night shift, sitting at the computer or TV at night, and even going to bed regularly around midnight - is enough to gain weight.
In addition, people spend a significant amount of time not outdoors, but indoors, depriving themselves of sunlight.
4. Age-related decrease in the synthesis of steroid hormones and enzymes, primarily the digestive system.
It also promotes increased adipose tissue growth and reduced muscle mass.
5. We eat little protein.
We like carbohydrates more, and they are immediately deposited at the waist.
6. Living under chronic stress which is absolutely unnatural for human physiology.
All modern life is accompanied by chronic stress: constant noise on the streets, a violation of the amount of light saturation, a violation of circadian rhythms, unbalanced nutrition, a decrease in the volume of drinking water, an imbalance in the intestinal microbiota, a constant change of time zones (flights) and much other.
Stress should be in a person's life, it makes him stronger and more resilient. But only if the stress is short. Chronic stress leads to elevated blood cortisol levels. And cortisol stores fatty tissue
Here, in short, are the most important causes of obesity.
