Obesity is one challenge a lot are giving up on but Today Godly Natural Health is going to help you with all the necessary information to help you beat obesity.
Obesity is a disease of the Metabolism.
When excessive fat deposits in the body it is Obesity.
When the intake of calories exceeds the amount of calories burned by the body, the residue is stored as fat. Result. Overweight or Obesity, call it what you may. Our body needs fat to perform the following functions…
It maintains the Body temperature.
It provides energy
Supports the growth of cells
Backup store of Energy
It absorbs nutrients and vitamins in the Body. Vitamins like A, E, D and K are fat soluble Vitamins. They require fat to get absorbed by the Body.
The Bones are surrounded by Subcutaneous Fat. It acts as a cushion and a shock absorbent. It protects the body from Injury and Trauma. It attaches the skin to the bones. All excess fats are not the same. In the beginning its easy to dissolve. With the passage of time, it becomes difficult.
Types of Fats.
Subcutaneous Fat : Subcutaneous means under the Skin. This fat accumulates just under the skin and is a shock absorbent. It protects the Bones from trauma and injury. This fat is easy to dissolve. Good eating habits and a little exercise will cure it. Just ensure that the intake of calories is less than your consumption.
Visceral Fat . More dangerous than Fat. This fat shows itself as a pot belly. The abdomen protrudes forward and subsequently hangs. This fat will cause hardening of the internal vessels blocking the flow of blood and lymph. This is the origin of most of the diseases. Take hypertension as an example. Prolonged medication does not cure. Why ? Because the cause has not been addressed. The arteries have hardened. Blood flow has become sluggish. Remove the fat. Make the blood vessels soft and pliable, blood will flow freely. Hypertension will be cured. If not dissolved in time visceral fat may cause any disease.
Signs and symptoms of obesity
Obesity is likely when an individual's body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher. Your body mass index is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms (kg) by your height in meters (m) squared.
BMI Weight status
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5-24.9 Normal
25.0-29.9 Overweight
30.0-34.9 Obese (Class I)
35.0-39.9 Obese (Class II)
40.0 and higher Extreme obesity (Class III)
For most people, BMI is a reasonable estimate of body fat. However, BMI doesn't directly measure body fat, so some people, such as muscular athletes, may have a BMI in the obese category even though they don't have excess body fat. Ask your health care provider if your BMI is a problem.
Below are causes and risk factors of obesity
Although there are genetic and hormonal influences on body weight, obesity occurs when you take in more calories than you burn through exercise and normal daily activities. Your body stores these excess calories as fat. Obesity usually results from a combination of causes and contributing factors, including:
Inactivity. If you're not very active, you don't burn as many calories. With a sedentary lifestyle, you can easily take in more calories every day than you use through exercise and normal daily activities.
Unhealthy diet and eating habits. Having a diet that's high in calories, lacking in fruits and vegetables, full of fast food, missing breakfast, and laden with high-calorie beverages and oversized portions all contribute to weight gain.
Pregnancy. During pregnancy, a woman's weight necessarily increases. Some women find this weight difficult to lose after the baby is born. This weight gain may contribute to the development of obesity in women.
Lack of sleep. Too little sleep can cause changes in hormones that increase your appetite. You may also crave foods high in calories and carbohydrates, which can contribute to weight gain.
Medical problems. Obesity can sometimes be traced to a medical cause, such as Prader-Willi syndrome, Cushing's syndrome, and other diseases and conditions. Some medical problems, such as arthritis, can lead to decreased activity, which may result in weight gain. A low metabolism is unlikely to cause obesity, as is having low thyroid function.
Genetics. Your genes may affect the amount of body fat you store and where that fat is distributed. Genetics may also play a role in how efficiently your body converts food into energy and how your body burns calories during exercise. Even when someone has a genetic predisposition, environmental factors ultimately make you gain more weight.
Family lifestyle. Obesity tends to run in families. That's not just because of genetics. Family members tend to have similar eating, lifestyle and activity habits. If one or both of your parents are obese, your risk of being obese is increased.
Unhealthy diet and eating habits. A diet that's high in calories, lacking in fruits and vegetables, full of fast food, missing breakfast, and laden with high-calorie beverages and oversized portions contributes to weight gain.
Lack of sleep. Not getting enough sleep or getting too much sleep at night can cause changes in hormones that increase your appetite. You may also crave foods high in calories and carbohydrates, which can contribute to weight gain.
Certain medications. Some medications can lead to weight gain if you don't compensate through diet or activity. These medications include some antidepressants, anti-seizure medications, diabetes medications, antipsychotic medications, steroids and beta blockers.
Age. Obesity can occur at any age, even in young children. But as you age, hormonal changes and a less active lifestyle increase your risk of obesity. In addition, the amount of muscle in your body tends to decrease with age. This lower muscle mass leads to a decrease in metabolism. These changes also reduce calorie needs and can make it harder to keep off excess weight. If you don't control what you eat and consciously become more physically active as you age, you'll likely gain weight.
Social and economic issues. Certain social and economic issues may be linked to obesity. You may not have safe areas to exercise, you may not have been taught healthy ways of cooking or you may not have money to buy healthier foods. In addition, the people you spend time with may influence your weight — you're more likely to become obese if you have obese friends or relatives.
Medical problems. Obesity can rarely be traced to a medical cause, such as Prader-Willi syndrome, Cushing's syndrome, and other diseases and conditions. Some medical problems, such as arthritis, can lead to decreased activity, which may result in weight gain.
Even if you have one or more of these risk factors, it doesn't mean that you're destined to become obese. You can counteract most risk factors through diet, physical activity and exercise, and behavior changes.

Tumor
Overeating
