There are many causes of obesity. The main cause is of course excessive eating. But this habit is caused due to many environmental, genetic and work related factors.
It was quite surprising to see that people who work very hard (on the physical level) actually consume less food as compared to people who have white collar jobs. The reason is because people who work hard eat so that they can work. Overeating makes a person lethargic and hence people who toil physically much harder eat less so that they can work well.
There is mindless eating among people who have a white collar hob. People who do not do much physical work are found to have this bad habit of mindless eating. And this is why it is found that more than 70% of the people doing a white collar job are having a sack filled with unnecessary fat. The following reasons are the most widely recognized reasons which cause obesity among people:
1. Eating when one is not hungry: This is one of the major reasons which make people obese. There are many people who eat for many reasons. Some people eat when they are emotionally disturbed. Some people eat for fun. Some people live to eat. Some others just love junk food. This type of eating is referred to as mindless eating. Some people just fill their stomachs whenever they find some empty gap in it. This has a very bad effect on their digestive systems. Especially their liver. When the liver is overloaded with too many digestive functions it works too hard and finally loses its health. This has an adverse effect on the pancreas. The intake of food is so high that the liver fails to supply enough insulin to burn the whole fat that is consumed. This creates stacks of fat to be stored inside the body which is utilized during starvation conditions.
2. Cooking habits in the family: It is quite natural to see people of same family having the same physique whatsoever. Eating habits are same among family members. Food prepared in the family also plays a significant role in determining the physique of the family members. If the food prepared is made using too much of oil, it is evident why all the family members will have a higher BMI.
3. Excessive intake of sweets and junk foods: It is best to leave these two things altogether. They are good for nothing and make you good for nothing too. Junk foods should be limited a lot. It is better to stop the intake of junk foods till your “flattening your stomach” program finishes.
4. Eating till the stomach is full: You should always leave some space in your stomach after eating to ensure proper digestion. Never keep on stuffing your stomach with food whenever there is the slightest of space left in it. Eat as much as is sufficient to do your work.
5. Eating more and working less: This is another reason why people become fat. Eat as much as is needed to do your work. In order to make sure that you do not become fatter you need to eat food sufficient enough to do your work. Follow the input=output formula.
6. Genetic reasons: Some people have habitual genes passed from their family which makes them addicted to eating. You can control your mind. Your habits can also be controlled if you have a strong will to achieve a flat stomach in 21 days.
7. Hormonal imbalance: Harmonic imbalance also causes people to eat more. It is found that teenagers find food to be more tasty and delicious because of their hormonal imbalance caused during teenage. It is in this phase that most youngsters get addicted to eating junk food. Some hormone problems such as underactive thyroid, Cushing's syndrome, and polycystic ovarian syndrome may cause overweight and obesity. Imbalance in thyroid hormones also causes obesity.
8. When women are Pregnant: Some women gain weight when they become pregnant to make sure that the baby is nourished properly. After giving birth some women find it hard to lose their weight.
9. Lack of sleep: This problem is usually found among the old people who cannot sleep well. Adequate sleep is essential to ensure proper digestion.
