What are the reasons for being overweight?

In order to fight overweight, you need to understand how excess adipose tissue appears in the body.

Responsibility for excess weight lies with the endocrine system, which regulates metabolic processes in the body. The main role that adipose tissue plays is an energy depot. Adipose tissue acts as a consumable for the formation of energy potential in the body. Normally, a balance should be observed between the accumulation of fats and their consumption as an energy source, but hormonal disruptions, disturbances in the processes of utilization of fats by the body lead to the fact that excess fats are transformed into adipose tissue (into triglycerides) and are deposited in certain places of the body: in the area hips, abdomen, chest, etc.

Overweight reasons:

  • At the initial stages of the formation of a fat layer, human eating behavior is of great importance, in other words, his excessive appetite and addiction to foods rich in fats and carbohydrates.
