Obesity and Eating Habits

By Rachel Jones
February 26, 2014

Weight could be a genuine and developing issue within the Joined together States. Concurring to the CDC, 35.7% of American grown-ups are hefty. Destitute eating propensities are a major contributor to corpulence; by creating an mindfulness of these propensities, you'll take steps to progress your wellbeing.

Overeating is a top contributor to obesity. To gain weight, you must take in more calories than you burn each day.  It is important to keep in mind, the disorder of obesity is multifactorial in origin.  The drivers behind hunger are complex and requires a multi-prong approach that includes dietary and lifestyle modification as well as medicinal and/or procedural interventions such as formal surgery or newer, incisionless procedures such as endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty known as ESG. 

 

When you eat too much and exercise too little over an extended period of time, it becomes a lifestyle; in doing so, you put yourself at high risk for obesity.

If you're like many Americans, you skip breakfast. Unfortunately, this habit can contribute to obesity. When you don't eat breakfast, you tend to overeat later in the day to make up for it. In addition, failing to eat breakfast forces your body to suppress insulin, causing your body to store fat. 

A high consumption of processed foods can also lead to obesity. Processed foods usually contain high levels of fat, sugar, calories, and unhealthy preservatives. In addition, they often contain a range of chemicals that can affect your body's natural functions. Over time, a high consumption of processed foods can cause you to become obese. Processed foods include:

  • Chipsmp900410155
  • Soda
  • Ice cream
  • Frozen meals
  • Cookies

Many people, particularly busy professionals, fail to eat an adequate variety of food. By limiting your food intake to a few food groups, you are denying your body the nutrients it needs to function effectively. If you eliminate vegetables, for example, you won't get the fiber that helps you stay full and satisfied.
