Obesity
The document discusses obesity in America. It states that over 60% of Americans are obese, which is largely due to a lack of exercise. Obesity can cause health issues like diabetes and heart disease as well as social problems like low self-esteem. While exercise and eating fewer calories are key to weight loss, many Americans do not exercise regularly or know how to do so properly. The high rates of obesity in the U.S. are a major public health concern.
Obesity and parental negligence
Obesity in children is a serious problem that has increased significantly in recent decades. In Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of obesity among females aged 5-12 is 11.0% and among males is 7.8%, and among those aged 13-18 the prevalence is 12.1% for females and 13.8% for males. While obesity can be caused by various factors like lifestyle, diet, and genetics, parental role is an important cause that is the topic of this document. Parental failure or negligence in addressing a child's obesity through an unhealthy diet and lifestyle and lack of encouragement of physical activity can amount to parental neglect.
Obesity Power Point
This document discusses childhood obesity rates in Wayne County, Indiana and provides information on existing and potential programs to address the issue. It finds that Wayne County has higher rates of childhood obesity than Indiana and the US. The Whitewater Valley Childhood Obesity Task Force currently runs the STOP program for children ages 7-17, while some schools have held health promotion events. The CDC and other United Ways recommend comprehensive community approaches like farmers markets, outdoor recreation access, and multi-sector coalitions to encourage healthy living.

Impact of physical fitness and body composition on injury risk among active young adults: A study of Army trainees, Jones et al, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2017.09.015
"Conclusions: While the most aerobically fit Army trainees experience lower risk of training-related injury, at any given aerobic fitness level those with the lowest BMIs are at highest risk."
The realties are that entry poor bone status, entry nutrient deficiencies, post-entry malnutrition, and treatment protocols are significant issues re injuries, re-injuries, attrition, and readiness rates.
Obesity Research Paper
The document analyzes research on the nature vs nurture debate around obesity. It summarizes studies finding both genetic/biological and environmental factors influence obesity. The authors treated a client using diet/exercise modifications based on evidence that lifestyle changes can decrease weight. Their client achieved a 30% weight loss in 3 months, supporting the influence of external factors. Overall, the authors found evidence that environmental/behavioral interventions have greater impact on obesity than medical approaches.
What Affects Achieving Health Equity_2
Health equity means ensuring all people can lead healthy lives through equal access to opportunities. Achieving health equity requires eliminating avoidable health inequities and disparities. Health inequities are differences in health outcomes that are unfair, unjust, and result from social, economic, and environmental conditions. Health disparities are differences in health outcomes among groups affected by genetics, health behaviors, and environmental conditions like access to healthcare, education, jobs, and neighborhood safety. Achieving health equity requires access to quality healthcare, equal social and economic opportunities, and investment in low-income neighborhoods.
Healthy Living
In 2005, over half of Australian adults were overweight or obese, increasing their risk for health problems like hypertension, fatty liver disease, high cholesterol, infertility, cancers, heart disease, and diabetes. Maintaining a healthy weight involves eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking water, limiting extra foods, and being physically active every day through activities like joining a walking group or sporting center. Gradually increasing exercise intensity helps reduce health risks while building muscles, bones and joints.

Fast food
Eating too much fast food can lead to obesity and related health issues according to a public service announcement. Approximately one third of Americans are obese, with a main contributing factor being fast food consumption. Obesity is defined as having a body mass index of 30 or higher. On average, Americans are 23 pounds overweight. The announcement urges people to stop their fast food habits and avoid becoming part of obesity and diabetes statistics by making changes for their own and their loved ones' health.
Belmarrahealth obesity a hurdle to overtake
Obesity means having excess body fat and increases the risk of diseases like diabetes and heart disease. It occurs when calorie intake exceeds calories burned due to factors like genetics, diet of high-fat foods, and physical inactivity. Reasons obesity remains a problem include changes to diets with more processed foods and less healthy options, a lack of physical activity in modern life, and attempts to lose weight through unsustainable yo-yo dieting instead of lifestyle changes promoting healthy eating and exercise long-term.
Children and health
The document discusses healthy eating and exercise plans for children. It recommends that children eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean meats to reduce disease risk later in life. Healthy eating plans also teach portion control. The document also stresses the importance of daily physical activity for burning calories and improving stress, sleep, bone strength, and energy levels. It provides three references on healthy eating indexes, barriers to healthy eating, and school health guidelines.
Women Key To Food Security
The document discusses how empowering women is key to achieving food and nutrition security. It recommends eradicating gender discrimination, improving women's legal and social status through reforms, increasing access to education for women and girls, and targeting resources directly to women, such as food aid, agricultural inputs, credit, and technologies. Research shows that empowering women in these ways reduces poverty and malnutrition, increases productivity, and promotes better food security for all.

1) Childhood obesity in the US has significantly increased over the past few decades and now affects over 1 in 6 children. This is due to lack of physical activity and unhealthy diets.
2) Programs that aim to reduce childhood obesity, like Be a Fit Kid, have had success by targeting diet, fitness, and involving families and communities. Involving parents is key as children learn behaviors from their caregivers.
3) Maintaining a healthy lifestyle requires access to nutritious foods and active environments. Community resources and healthcare providers can help families implement lifestyle changes needed to reduce obesity.
Obesity in america.jpg
Obesity in America has reached epidemic levels, with 72 million Americans obese and obesity-related health issues costing over $120 billion annually. Obesity rates are increasing rapidly and affecting more children. While lifestyle factors and genetics play a role, corporations like fast food companies and schools share some blame due to marketing of unhealthy foods and eliminating physical education. Preventing further obesity will require awareness, personal responsibility, leading by example, and industry changes.
Brochure 1
This document discusses the importance of childhood nutrition and outlines some key dangers and factors related to early childhood obesity. It notes that almost a quarter of American children are already overweight by age 3 and discusses how marketing of unhealthy foods, eating environments that promote fast eating, and lack of parental nutritional education can negatively impact a child's health and weight. The document emphasizes that working with parents through nutritional counseling and education on healthy food choices, physical activity, and positive eating habits can help reverse unhealthy weight gain trends and behaviors in children.

Ppt on Child Obesity
This document discusses childhood obesity as a global health concern. It provides information on what BMI is and how it is used to diagnose obesity in children. It describes the various health effects of childhood obesity, including psychological effects, cardiovascular issues, metabolic disorders and others. It discusses factors that contribute to childhood obesity such as genetics, diet, physical inactivity, and social determinants. Prevention strategies mentioned include improving access to healthy foods, increasing physical activity and making changes to the home and school environments.
Schoenhofer,kara mwp4
Obesity is defined as having too much body fat based on measurements like BMI. About 30% of the US population is considered obese, which has almost doubled in the last 20 years. This constitutes an epidemic that can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. The rise in obesity is due to factors like increased calorie intake and decreased exercise, as well as the ease of unhealthy eating options and lack of preventative actions. Addressing obesity requires changes like nutrition education, increased physical activity, and prevention programs.
Childhood obesity
1. The document proposes a childhood obesity intervention program for five low-income elementary schools in Springdale, Arkansas.
2. The program aims to decrease obesity rates by 15% within one year through nutrition education sessions, physical activity sessions, and classroom materials and games about healthy eating.
3. The proposed interventions include consulting with school staff, developing educational materials, conducting sessions on nutrition, physical activity, and BMI measurements with students multiple times throughout the year.
S.s presentation Zachary
Obesity in America has become a major problem, affecting people of all ages including children. It can cause serious health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The document discusses obesity rates in different US states and globally, with Mississippi having the highest average BMI. Solutions proposed include eating healthier, exercising more, and improving processed foods. The presenter hopes to raise awareness and motivate lifestyle changes to address this important issue.
0756087 Fast Food
This document discusses the health implications of a diet high in fast food. It notes that 72% of people in one survey eat fast food at least once a week. A bar graph shows McDonald's as the highest grossing fast food corporation in 2007. The document also states that fast food meals often exceed recommended daily calorie counts and that obesity is linked to fast food consumption.
Diabetes the facts
Diabetes: The Facts
The number of Americans with diabetes has tripled over the last 30 years – and experts see no end to the trend. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts that the number of people with diabetes will continue to rise, until 1 in 3 people could have the disease by 2050.
Getting more physical activity and sleep, eating a healthier diet, and managing stress are all lifestyle changes that can cut the risk for diabetes – and obesity.
This Infographic shows the Causes, Number of Affected People, the Cost related to Diabetes and ways of Prevention.
Genetic influence on obesity
Neha conducted research on the impact of genes on obesity for a genetics course. She learned that genetics plays a significant role in one's ability to lose or gain weight, as over 400 genes have been linked to obesity. Specific genes like GAD2 and GHSR impact appetite, metabolism, and body type. While diet and exercise influence weight, genetics can determine one's predisposition for obesity as much or more than external factors. Epigenetics also affects how obesity genes are expressed and can be passed down from parents.
SAC360 Chapter 16 public health enemy number two and growing
This chapter discusses poor diet and physical inactivity as major public health problems. Overweight and obesity rates have significantly increased since the 1960s and are associated with increased risk of diseases like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Maintaining a healthy diet with fruits and vegetables while limiting sugars and engaging in regular physical activity can help prevent obesity and related diseases. However, environmental factors like increased access to unhealthy foods and more sedentary lifestyles make it difficult for many Americans to eat well and exercise enough.
SAC360 Chapter 16 public health enemy number two and growing
This chapter discusses poor diet and physical inactivity as major public health problems. Overweight and obesity rates have significantly increased since the 1960s and are associated with increased risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Promoting healthy eating involves following dietary guidelines to consume more fruits and vegetables and less sugar. However, most Americans' diets do not meet recommendations. Physical activity is also important for health but many adults do not meet activity guidelines. Public health efforts aim to address environmental and social factors contributing to these issues.

Maintaining a healthy diet with fruits and vegetables while limiting sugars and engaging in regular physical activity can help prevent obesity and related diseases. However, environmental factors like increased access to unhealthy foods and more sedentary lifestyles make it difficult for many Americans to eat well and exercise enough.
SAC360 Chapter 16 public health enemy number two and growing
This chapter discusses poor diet and physical inactivity as major public health problems. Overweight and obesity rates have significantly increased since the 1960s and are associated with increased risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Promoting healthy eating involves following dietary guidelines to consume more fruits and vegetables and less sugar. However, most Americans' diets do not meet recommendations. Physical activity is also important for health but many adults do not meet activity guidelines. Public health efforts aim to address environmental and social factors contributing to these issues.
Chapter 12 WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
The document discusses weight management and obesity. It covers several topics:
1) It describes methods for evaluating body weight and composition, including BMI, body fat distribution, and bioelectrical impedance analysis.
2) It explains that obesity is associated with increased health risks like diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise can improve wellness.
3) Factors that contribute to excess body fat include genetics, metabolism, hormones, diet, physical activity levels, sleep, and environment. Weight gain occurs through small imbalances in calorie intake versus expenditure over time.
3) Adopting a healthy lifestyle through a balanced diet, portion control, regular physical
Dale Rayman article for BenefitsQuarterly_FINAL
This document discusses how many workplace wellness programs focus primarily on exercise but neglect nutrition, even though diet has a much greater impact on health outcomes. It argues that to truly improve employee health and reduce costs, wellness programs need to address both sides of the "battle of the bulge" by providing solutions that empower employees to make healthier food choices wherever and whenever they eat. New mobile technologies could help by providing personalized nutrition recommendations and discounts to make healthy options easier to identify and select at home, work and restaurants.
Did the parents do something wrong
Parental behavior is a major cause of childhood obesity according to the document. Unhealthy food choices made by parents lead directly to obesity in children, as children do not control their own diets. Genetics also plays a role, as children inherit around 40% of their parents' BMI. To address the problem, the document recommends that parents cook meals at home, control portion sizes, swap unhealthy snacks for fruit, and educate themselves on healthy eating.
Weight of the nation
The projected rates of obesity and extreme obesity in Americans are increasing dramatically according to CDC data from 1990 to 2030. The percentage of obese Americans is projected to rise from 30% to 60% and extreme obesity is projected to rise from 15% to over 30% in that time period. While rates of overweight and obesity are still increasing overall, some research has found the weight is stabilizing at times for girls and women. Holding steady the US obesity rate could save nearly $550 billion annually. Obesity is already negatively impacting children through increased type 2 diabetes diagnoses and links to lower child test scores. However, most Americans do not engage in healthy behaviors like eating enough fruits and vegetables or meeting exercise recommendations that could help prevent obesity
Management Options for the Obesity Crisis
It is a fact that about 74 percent of the adult U.S. population age
20 years and older is either overweight or obese.1
Overweight and obese are categorical continuums of being above
normal weight based on body mass index (BMI) calculation. This
has serious health implications for all Americans, not to mention
the huge medical cost implications associated with obesity,
estimated at $168.4 billion, or 16.5 percent of national spending
on medical care for U.S. adult noninstitutionalized population.2
The percentage of obese people has increased significantly in a
little over a decade. In 1994 the rate was 22.9 percent, and it rose
to 30.5 percent in 2000 and 34 percent in 2005.1
People who are obese spend at least $2,800 (2005 dollars) more
annually for medical care than normal weight people.2
Increase in obesity prevalence alone accounts for 12 percent of
the growth in health spending.3
GRANT PROPOSAL (2nd DRAFT) for GOHW Mobile Kitchen Program
This document is a grant proposal from Gift of Health & Wellness seeking funding for their Mobile Kitchen Program. The program aims to address the growing problem of childhood obesity in the US by teaching youths aged 6-14 and their families how to make healthier lifestyle choices. It will involve delivering nutritious prepared meals, teaching families how to cook meals using fresh local ingredients in their mobile teaching kitchen, incorporating gardening activities, and promoting physical exercise. The program will be evaluated based on participant reactions, learning, behavioral changes, and overall health impacts to determine if it helps reduce obesity and related issues among participants.
Obesity
Obesity is defined as a BMI greater than or equal to 30. It is caused by an energy imbalance where more calories are consumed than burned. Risk factors include genetics, lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating behaviors, certain health conditions and medications, environment, stress, and age. Complications of obesity include increased risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Obesity is diagnosed using BMI and is treated through lifestyle changes like diet and exercise under a healthcare professional's guidance. Medications may also be used if lifestyle changes are not effective.
Obesity Epidemic (Research Paper)
The document discusses obesity in America, providing statistics showing that obesity rates have significantly increased over the past 30 years. It defines obesity as having a body mass index of 30 or higher. The rise in obesity is due to changing environmental factors like increased availability of high-fat, high-sugar foods and a more sedentary lifestyle with less physical activity. While public health campaigns have aimed to address obesity, eating habits have not changed and obesity rates remain high.

Causes of obesity
Statistics of Obesity in America.
Obesity is a condition where an individual have excess body fats leading to health problems. Obesity is an increasing problem in America with the rise in cases causing an alarm for the need to reduce the problem and promote healthy living. Statistics data released by health facilities and health institutions show an increasing trend of obesity in America. Obesity is caused by the uptake of high calorie food, genetic factors, lack of exercise and presence of underlying medical conditions.

High Blood Pressure
Type ii Diabetes
Coronary heart Disease
Stroke
Hyperlidimia
Obesity has is associated with increased medical costs due to the health problems posed by the condition. Health problems associated with obesity are high blood pressure due to the high fat content deposited in the blood vessel lining. It also causes coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke among many others. The condition also contributes to low quality life with high chances of causing death.

Cause
Results from body storing excess energy in form of stored fats, thus by reducing intake can be a control measure.
Regulation of food intake as researched by professional cannot sustain control of increases in cases of obesity in society today. several factors interactions contribute to the situation. the causes have to first be understood. While most of the obesity cases are caused by excess consumption of food by an individual, it is also clear that some conditions are caused by more than excess consumption. This may include genetic, or other body disorders. The prevalence of the problem is increasing instead of reducing. Obesity rates have increased across all the population groups in the United States. It is therefore important to approach the problem from a different perspective.
Challenges being experienced can be grouped into the following major levels.
Intrapersonal Level
Interpersonal Level
Community/Institution Level
Macro/Public Policy Level
Medics and nutritionists have viewed the problem continuously as it could be solved through reducing the amount of food intake. However, body’s regulation of food consumption is not enough to deal with the epidemic. It is not a matter of the obese people decision to eat less food than they have been doing. It has been seen that obesity can be reduced through a different treatment of the problem. This may involve first deciding the root cause that triggers a person to eat so much food.

INTRODUCTION ◊ 1
MESSAGE FROM THE SURGEON
GENERAL
Our nation stands at a crossroads. Today’s
epidemic of overweight and obesity threatens the
historic progress we have made in increasing
American’s quality and years of healthy life.
Two-third of adults1 and nearly one in three
children are overweight or obese.2 In addition,
many racial and ethnic groups and geographic
regions of the United States are
disproportionately affected.3 The sobering impact
of these numbers is reflected in the nation’s
concurrent epidemics of diabetes, heart disease,
and other chronic diseases. If we do not reverse
these trends, researchers warn that many of our
children—our most precious resource—will be
seriously afflicted in early adulthood with
medical conditions such as diabetes and heart
disease. This future is unacceptable. I ask you to
join me in combating this crisis.
Every one of us has an important role to play in
the prevention and control of obesity. Mothers,
fathers, teachers, business executives, child care
professionals, clinicians, politicians, and
government and community leaders—we must
all commit to changes that promote the health
and wellness of our families and communities.
As a nation, we must create neighborhood
communities that are focused on healthy nutrition
and regular physical activity, where the healthiest
choices are accessible for all citizens. Children
should be having fun and playing in
environments that provide parks, recreational
facilities, community centers, and walking and
bike paths. Healthy foods should be affordable
and accessible. Increased consumer knowledge
and awareness about healthy nutrition and
physical activity will foster a growing demand
for healthy food products and exercise options,
dramatically influencing marketing trends.
Hospitals, work sites, and communities should
make it easy for mothers to initiate and sustain
breastfeeding as this practice has been shown to
prevent childhood obesity. Working together, we
will create an environment that promotes and
facilitates healthy choices for all Americans. And
we will live longer and healthier lives.

The over-sixties make up the fastest growing segment of the population in most countries. Although life expectancy
has also increased dramatically over the last 100 years, this segment of the population is susceptible to many health
risks from a poor diet. Evidence from various sources indicates that many older people fail to get the amounts and
types of food necessary to meet essentialenergy and nutrient needs. There are numerous reasons why older people
might not be getting the most nutritious diet Assessment of nutritional status is essential for preventing or maintaining
a chronic disease and for healing. Knowing the causes of changing nutritional needs and dietary preferences is needed
to understand a patient’s nutritional status. The nutrient requirements for older adults include increased in take of
vitamins D,B 12 ,and B 6and calcium. An old Age individual needs to balance energy intake with his or her level of
physical activity to avoid storing excess body fat. Dietary practices and food choices are related to wellness and affect
health, fitness, weight management, and the prevention of chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular
diseases, cancer , and diabetes.the present Article Reviews the role of balanced Nutrition for old Age Persons
Healthy weight: losing weight
The document discusses healthy weight loss and maintaining weight loss. It recommends losing 1-2 pounds per week through reducing caloric intake by 500-1000 calories daily and regular physical activity. Even modest weight loss of 5-10% of total body weight can improve health. Maintaining weight loss requires developing long-term healthy eating and exercise habits.
Healthy Living for Older Adults
The document discusses developing a program to educate older adults on the importance of maintaining good nutrition and physical activity as they age. It proposes that the program would provide workshops on preparing healthy and affordable meals, safe exercises that can be done at home, and information on community resources for healthcare and nutrition. The goal is to help older adults learn how to live a long and healthy life through optimal nutrition and regular physical activity.

The Menace of Obesity
Rodney Martinez
Columbia Southern University
The menace of obesity: Stern & Kazaks (2009) defined obesity as a health condition that is associated with excess body fat that is gained by environmental and genetic factors that are difficult to control during dieting. Obesity is classified as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or above. BMI is a tool that measures obesity in an individual. The personal or community effects of obesity will be discussed. It will include a discussion on one factor that contributes to childhood or adult obesity and two prevention measures that relate to the selected factor. Finally, a discussion on one sociological theory that relates to the selected contributing factor to obesity will be given to provide a better understanding on what we as Americans define being obesity.
Effects of Obesity
The cost of obesity is known to go beyond those pertaining to personal health, including heart diseases, type II diabetes’ and bone and joint disease. Obesity has a lifelong financial impact on the individual, family members and the community at large, because of the medical bills to treat diseases. Kopelman (2010) stated that this worsens the situations since this individual is less productive financially due to the health condition and thus leaving the burden to family members and the community. According to a recent report from the Department of Health Policy at George Washington University's School of Public Health and Health Services, the tangible annual health- and work-related costs of obesity for a woman amount to $4,789 more than a woman of average weight would pay. For an obese man, those added costs are $2,646 annually.
One of the main contributing factors to childhood or adult obesity is a lifestyle. Eckel (2003) argued that overeating with in a combination with a sedentary lifestyle has been known to contribute to obesity. If you take foods in which a high percentage of calories come from high-fat, refined and sugary foods that will easily make you gain weight and high chances of being obese if you continue with that diet for long without counteracting practices. As more American families consume diets on the go and more people looking for low-cost foods, more people will reach high-calorie and fatty foods and beverages such as fast food.
Preventive Measures of Obesity
One of the preventive measures that can be taken to avoid obesity is changing behaviors which will affect these lifestyle choices. Choosing whole grains such as whole bread and brown rice rather than white rice and while bread. These foods are richer in fiber and nutrients and thus the body absorb them more slowly and therefore will not cause a rapid spike in insulin. Eating less fatty foods will also reduce excess calories in the bath. (Waters, E. 2010) stated that another preventive measure that is recommended is exercising every day, this will help in burning exce.
Health beat presentation
Dr. Shari L. Harvey-Philpot presented on adolescent obesity. She discussed that obesity in children has more than doubled in the past 30 years according to the CDC. Risk factors for obesity include ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and having obese parents. Obese children are at risk for health issues like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, sleep apnea and joint problems. Prevention efforts should focus on diet, exercise, education and creating supportive school and community environments to establish healthy behaviors.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Here are some of the ways in which genes may influence an individual’s body type and shape: •• The connection between genetics and weight loss still is not fully understood •• Although genetics could play some role in how easily people gain or lose weight, diet and exercise remain essential elements of maintaining a healthy body type WEIGHT LOSS Research suggests genetics may account for 50 to 70 percent of weight variability 50-70% •• The ease with which people gain muscle mass is a highly inheritable trait •• People with parents who are muscular tend to have an easier time building muscle BUILDING MUSCLE •• Apple-shaped body types are more connected to genetic factors than pear-shaped body types •• Researchers believe each person may have a genetically predetermined baseline body shape that metabolism tries to maintain BODY TYPE Genes can be responsible for up to 80 percent of a person’s body type 80% •• One particular gene has been identified as being involved in compulsive overeating as well as other addictive behaviors such as alcoholism •• A genetic predisposition to overeat may explain why obesity tends to run in families •• Some research suggests that when the body drops below its genetically predetermined weight, it triggers increased appetite in an attempt to catch up APPETITE
