Is Obesity Hereditary, what are the causes of Obesity?

Obesity is the result of consuming more calories than your body is using regularly. The body stores the extra calories as fat. When extra calories are consumed daily, the body continues to accumulate excess fat leading to obesity.

Obesity is diagnosed when your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher. To determine your body mass index, divide your weight (in pounds) by the square of your height (in inches) and multiply by 703. Or, divide your weight (kg) by the square of your height (meters).

In the past, many people thought that it was simply a result of overeating and lack of exercise, and a lack of willpower and self-control. Although these are important factors, doctors recognize that obesity is a complex medical problem that includes genetic, environmental, behavioral and social factors.

All these factors play a role in determining a person’s weight. Recent research suggests that in some cases, certain genetic factors may lead to obesity, which causes changes in appetite and fat metabolism. People who are genetically predisposed to gain weight (for example, have a low metabolism) are at a higher risk of becoming obese.

Genes have an effect on each component of human physiology, development, and adaptation. Obesity is no exception. Yet little is known involving the specific genes that make a contribution to obesity and the scale of so-called “genetic surroundings interactions”.

Obese is generally caused by way consuming too much and moving too little. If you eat excessive amounts of energy, particularly fat and sugars, however do not burn off the strength via exercise and bodily activity, a whole lot of the surplus electricity will be stored by means of the body as fat.

If you do not want to be at the risk of having obesity, cut down on junk foods, exercise regularly.
