Obesity, the #1 cause of sickness and disease.

New counsel from weight loss Scientists and nutritionists shows that over 300,000 people die each year from complications resulting from obesity. Obesity is a major factor in the North America and now many other parts of the world. This is where the body compiles more weight than is being burned by normal metabolism and this causes fat deposits to begin to build up in the abdominal area, thighs, buttocks and even waist. The problem of obesity is so piercing that some schools especially in Atlanta Georgia have began to offer only vegetarian diets to their students and the students have accepted this diet well. So what causes obesity?

There is one cause of weight gain that is rather unfortunate-genetics. Sometimes, it is easy to judge people from appearance and form an assessment that their excess weight is as a result of irresponsible eating habits. But doctors say that there are people with genetic maladjustment's that cause a problem with the way the body brakes down food. There are also difficulties that cause an under-performing thyroid gland that finally causes the body metabolism to slow and accumulate fat. So one reason why some people are fat is because of genetic issues.

Another reason why many people might have a weight loss problem is because they have an eating problem. In the same token that there are eating problems which cause bulimia, there are disorders that run in the other direction and cause compulsive eating and an abnormal appetite. A disorder called Pica even has its victims craving non-foods (earth, pens, pencils and anything close by). These disorders which cause over eating can be treated and the person can resume normal eating habits.

Another cause for obesity is off course leading a sedentary life of little or no exercise. This is normal in the West where people use cars to go even short distances. weight loss
