Did you know that obesity is a condition which can be associated with certain health conditions or increased mortality? Well, you should also know that it has become a cosmetic issue too. And that’s the reason why you desire weight loss, right? Anyhow, obesity is both an individual clinical condition and is increasingly viewed as a serious public health problem. You should know that excessive body weight has been shown to predispose you to various diseases.

Are you under the impression that being obese and being overweight is exactly the same thing? Well, it’s not! If you’re obese, then you have a large amount of extra body fat, not just a few extra kilos. And if you are obese, then you are very overweight and at risk for serious health problems. Read on to know more.

Causes of obesity

Described below are the most common causes of obesity.

Genetic factors

Genetic factors play an important role in determining the traits of obesity and also the rate of weight loss. Some genes play the role of telling the body how to metabolize food and to use extra calories or stored fat. Obesity runs in families as generally families eat similar foods; have similar lifestyle habits and thinking patterns like eating more is required to become healthy.

Emotional factors

Many emotional factors can fuel obesity as you tend to eat more when you are upset, anxious, sad, stressed or even bored. Afterwards, you feel bad about eating more. And later, you end up eating more in order to relieve this stress.

Sedentary lifestyle

This is another important factor as people tend to eat more when they are doing nothing and just sitting lazily watching TV or playing video games.

Binge eating disorder

Binge eating disorder can affect your diet as you eat more and repeatedly often in binges. It is observed that if you have this disorder, then you generally lack the developed eating patterns learned in childhood.

Health problems associated with obesity

Obesity increases the risk of developing diseases. If you are obese, then you are more than twice as likely to develop hypertension. You should know that the risk of medical complications, particularly heart disease, increases when body fat is distributed around the waist, especially in the abdomen.

Obese women are at nearly twice the risk of developing breast cancer. And all obese people have a 42% higher chance of developing colorectal cancer. Almost 80% of patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus are obese.

If you are obese, then you might also experience social and psychological problems. The consequences of being obese in a world preoccupied with being thin are especially severe as appearances are often judged against an ideal of overstated thinness.

Not only does obesity make you feel tired and uncomfortable, but it can also wear down joints and put extra stress on other parts of the body. When you are carrying extra weight, it’s harder to keep up with friends, play sports, or just walk between classes at school. It is also associated with breathing problems such as asthma and sleep apnea and problems with hips and knee joints that might even require surgery.

Furthermore, if you are obese then you are more likely to be depressed. This can start a vicious cycle. When you are overweight, you might feel sad or even angry and eat to make yourself feel better. Then you feel worse for eating again. And when you feel depressed, you are less likely to go out and exercise.

Homeopathy treatment

Homeopathy treats the person as a whole. This means that homeopathy treatment focuses on you as a person as well as your pathological condition. The homeopathic medicine for obesity is carefully chosen after a complete personalizing examination and case-analysis, which includes your medical history, physical and mental constitution etc.
