The epidemic of overweight and obesity presents a major
challenge across the population of the world.
Fueled by economic growth, the influence of
industrialization, increased dependency on mechanized
transport, urbanization which lead to sedentary lifestyle,
and a nutritional transition to processed foods and high-
calorie diets over the past 3 decades, many countries have
observed the prevalence of obesity in its citizens double,

Obesity is described as a condition of abnormal or
excessive fat accumulation in adipose tissue, to the extent
that health is impaired. Excessive fats are deposited either
around the waist and trunk or peripherally around the body.

4. What are the Causes of Obesity?
Obesity occurs when there is more intake of calories than
you burn through exercise and day to day activities.
The body stores these excess calories as fat. Although there
are genetic, behavioral and hormonal influences on the body
the underlined cause is poor metabolism.
Inactivity: If you're not very active, the calories won’t be
utilized. With a stationary lifestyle, you can easily take in
more calories every day than you use through exercise and
normal daily activities.
Unhealthy diet and eating habits: Weight gain is inevitable
if you regularly eat more calories than the body requires and
it is not utilized.

5. Not sleeping enough: Studies have suggested that missing
sleep increases the risk of gaining weight leading to obesity.
Due to sleep deprivation, there is an increased risk of
obesity in both adults and children. This is caused because
of the hormonal change that leads to increased appetite.
The body produces ghrelin that stimulates digestive fire. But
in some cases, lack of sleep may result in less production of
leptin, a hormone that suppresses the appetite.
Due to various diseases: Various metabolic diseases like
diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and high blood pressure
can be a major threat to obesity. Researchers believe there
is a link between high consumption of fructose and obesity
and metabolic syndrome and studies were conducted which
helped to conclude "increased fructose intake may be a high
metabolic risk factor in young people."

6. Medications lead to weight gain:
Some medications can also lead to weight gain.
Commonly antipsychotics, anticonvulsants, hypoglycemic
medications, some antidepressants promote weight gain.
However, some medications may lead to weight loss.
Pregnancy:
Pregnancy is a period where a woman's weight
necessarily increases. Due to this some women finds it
difficult to lose weight after the baby is born.

obesity in women.
