What is the main cause of the increasing epidemic called obesity?
1 of 5
People are leading a fast-forwarded life these days, and this busy daily routine offers them minimal time to actually think of their diet problems. People readily consume food that is quick to make or easily available such as fried food and high sugar containing drinks. These types of food contain a lot of fat that ultimately leads to the grave problem of obesity which further leads to many other health risk problems of their digestive systems. Try eating healthy foods rather than the junk foods available outside. Though having junk food seldom won t cause such grave issues, but it is always advisable to opt for healthy food.
Which particular syndrome causes hereditary obesity?
2 of 5
People have a notion that obesity is often hereditary and there is no point in trying to curb it. This way of thinking is really wrong because it is only the Prader-Willi syndrome that makes people hereditarily obese. Otherwise, there is no reason for anyone to think that any effort you put in to curb obesity will go into the drains. Exercise regularly but only to the extent your body is capable of taking in because excessive exercise would only lead to serious injuries. One should keep in mind that all the body fats won t go away in a week.

Obesity is not only caused by a rotten food habit but also due to lack of movement. People nowadays prefer using a car for even traveling a short distance rather than walking or cycling. This restricted movement restricts the digestive system to work properly as well leading to severe gastroenterological problems. Rather than sitting on the couch and swapping TV channels, it is better to go out amidst nature and take a walk. It is always advisable to drink lots of water and practice walking and cycling rather than using cars.

4 of 5
The energy unit of a human body is calculated in calories. A healthy man needs a maximum of 2,500 calories a day while a woman needs only 2,000 calories. Consuming more than this can cause fat accumulation that would lead to gastroenterological or other problems. Though it is tough to keep a track on the calorific value of each food that we consume, maintaining a proper diet would make this errand much easier.
