Fats help the hormonal, reproductive and the immune systems of the body to function properly. Fats act as a thermal insulation for the body and provide shock absorption for sensitive areas. All these arguments tell us that Fats ae necessary for anybody. However, accumulation of too much body fats can prove to be fatal for the body. Along with changing the appearance of a body, it also hinders impair movement and the flexibility of a body. A person is said to be overweight when the amount fats in their body are higher than a healthy proportion. The body fat percentage of a person tells us about the degree to which they are overweight. It is usually calculated by a ratio known as Body Mass Index (BMI). The body mass index (BMI) is a ratio of a person's weight to the square of their height (kg/m2.) A person is said to be Overweight if their BMI is of 25 or more, Obese if their BMI is over 30 and normal if their BMI is under 25.
The increase in weight in any body is a gradual process that is processed step by step. There a lot of factors that determine the reason for obesity in a person. The most common reasons that are found upon analysis turn out to be either Genetic inheritance from parents or due to the energy imbalance of body. Many a times genes are the major contributor for being overweight.
Genes govern the basic appetite and metabolism of the body. Your metabolism is basically how the body breakdowns molecules of food intake to obtain energy and utilises it in the various parts of the body. Energy formation is primary function of metabolism. A fast metabolism indicates that a body can accustom to the food intake consumed quickly and burn the energy subsequently while a slow metabolism would mean that it takes time for a body to digest the intake of food and take out the nutrients from it. Very commonly we see that many people do not gain weight even though they have a huge intake of food while some people do not seem to lose weight even when they deprive themselves with food. However, it is not completely necessary that genes have a significant role in your body weight but having an idea of how large a role gene play in your weight may be helpful in terms of treating your weight problems. The other most common problem the imbalance in the energy within a body or to put it out in layman terms, the lifestyle of a person.
Lifestyle influences a lot of systems of our body. All the research data in the past few years come to a common consensus that there is a strong association between unhealthy eating habits and lack of physical activities, which contribute to an overweight body. A high consumption of fast food and sweetened sugar drinks and fruit juices is a very regular phenomenon among consumers and these foods affect the increase in stored fats in a body which eventually leads to obesity. It is clear that when there is less amount of physical activity in spite of such a dietary behaviour a disproportionate weight gain is more likely to take place. Moreover, when there is more indulgence over activities such as TV viewing, a low participation in sport activities, a lack of interest in being involved in exercise increments as well as due to more time spent over leisurely-activities there is a consistent decrease in the amount of energy that has been used in comparison of what has been taken and this is a major reason for increase in obesity among people. The other lifestyle issues that induce obesity is weird sleeping habits, uncontrolled stress issues, disproportionate intake of anti-depressants and other such drugs and many more.
Overweightness is a very serious condition and everyone prone to it should make maximum efforts to overcome it. There are many adverse effects of being overweight such as it may increase the risk health issues that including diabetes, heart disease, cancer.
