Obesity
Obesity is increasing worldwide, affecting both affluent and low-income countries. This problem should be highlighted as it not only impacts our appearance but is also a significant risk factor for numerous illnesses. Therefore, maintaining a healthy weight and reducing fat should be a priority. Along with diet and exercise, can aesthetic treatments assist us in achieving this goal?
What is Obesity
Obesity is when we accumulate too much fat in our body by eating more calories than we need. The normal fat content in men is 15-18% and women is 20-25%, but it increases as we age. Obesity is a disease classified by WHO that shares similarities with many chronic diseases. Overweight is BMI 25-29.9 and obese is BMI ≥30.
Causes
We should balance our daily calorie intake and usage to maintain the right energy levels for the day. If calorie intake exceeds usage over a long period, it can lead to fat accumulation and obesity.
Genetics
Obesity is influenced by genetics. Children born to obese parents have a 20-40% chance of becoming obese.
Bad Lifestyle
High calorie diets lack nutrients, causing obesity. Overeating, snacking, and late night eating contribute to fat storage. Unhealthy/extreme dieting hinder fat removal. A sedentary lifestyle slows metabolism and causes fat storage. Poor sleep and excessive drinking add to weight gain.
Age
Our body uses the most energy for basic functions, followed by physical activity and the digestion of food. As we age and become less active, our metabolism slows, increasing the risk of obesity. This is commonly known as middle-age spread.
Stressed
Stress produces cortisol, a hormone that increases hunger and food cravings for high-sugar, high-fat foods. It also reduces sensitivity to feeling full. Mental stress, postpartum, menopausal syndrome, and work pressure can cause hormonal imbalances that lead to weight gain.
