New Research On Obesity

Genetics
Obesity has a tendency to run in the family. studies and research on obesity show that you have a 75% chance of being obese if your mother is. Take heart.

I believe that we create habits similar to our parents. If my mother eats fast foods and an unhealthy diet, resulting in overweight, then I may do the same. We need to change our eating habits so that we don't get the same unhealthy results.

Also, It's not what we eat, it's also how and when we eat.

Gender
Women are more prone to overweight and obesity than men. Two reasons: 1) men have a higher resting metabolism 2)women become post-menopausal, making their metabolic rate decrease even further.

Age
The ability to metabolize our food slows down with age. I suggest eating less as you get older.

Dairy Products
Consuming one of our favorite foods, dairy, every day, is a huge reason we have the amount of obesity in this country.

Many of our dairy products contain toxic substances, such as mycotoxins and aflatoxins. These have an unhealthy effect on our organs and metabolism, especially the ovaries, thyroid, pancreas and liver.

Exercise
Do you move? Are you physically active? Exercise tends to suppress our appetite while increasing the body's ability to metabolize our food, and turn fat into an energy source.

New research on obesity states that the nation's increase in obesity can be related to the decrease in our physical activity.

The Mind
Psychological factors greatly influence what, when and how we eat. Many people eat more when sad, depressed and bored.

Illness
Obesity research shows that illness is a common factor which can cause obesity. For example, thyroid and hormone issues.

Medications
It is now thought that drugs, such as antidepressants and steroids may cause weight gain and obesity.

Super Supplements
Supplementation of your diet is very important. Choosing the right supplements is even more important.
