Obesity

Obesity can result from a complex interplay of various factors:

• Diet: High-calorie, low-nutrient diets, excessive consumption of processed foods, and sugary beverages contribute to weight gain
• Lifestyle: Sedentary habits, lack of physical activity, and a predominantly inactive routine can lead to weight gain
• Genetic predisposition can influence how your body stores and processes fat, impacting weight
• Certain medical conditions & medications can contribute to weight gain or make weight management challenging
• Psychological Factors: Emotional stress, depression, and certain mental health disorders might lead to overeating or unhealthy eating patterns
• Environment: Surroundings that promote unhealthy eating habits or limited opportunities for physical activity can contribute to obesity
• Poor sleep patterns or sleep disorders can affect hormones related to appetite and hunger, potentially leading to weight gain
• Age: Metabolism naturally slows down with age, which can lead to weight gain if dietary and activity levels remain unchanged

It’s often a combination of these factors rather than a single cause that contributes to obesity in individuals.
