When it comes to gaining and retaining excess weight, there are several factors can play a role, such as lack of exercise, environmental factors, diet and genetics. Where many people struggle with losing their excess weight, having an idea of the reasons why you are holding on to that weight can better help you plan a strategy to shed those extra pounds. Today, we at Skin and Body Refinery would like to discuss the causes of becoming overweight and offer some solutions.

What is the Reason I am Overweight or Even Obese?

Low Activity & Poor Food Choices. When they eat more calories than they burn through activity, people gain weight. The greatest contributor to weight gain is this imbalance.
Environment. Our ability to maintain a healthy weight is influenced by the world around us. For instance, for people to be physically active, not having area parks, sidewalks, and affordable gyms makes it hard. Making even more physical activity necessary to maintain a healthy weight, oversized food portions increase Americans’ calorie intake. Additionally, access to supermarkets that sell affordable healthy foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables may not apply to some people. Unhealthy foods, such as high-fat snacks and sugary drinks should be avoided as much as possible.
Genetics. According to extensive research, obesity can come from genetics. In such disorders as Prader-Willi syndrome, genes can directly cause obesity. A person’s susceptibility to weight gain can be contributed from genes. Though outside factors, such as little physical activity, an abundant food supply or also may be required for a person to have excess weight, scientists believe that genes may increase a person’s likelihood of having obesity.
Medications & Health Conditions. Hormone problems such as Cushing syndrome, underactive thyroid, and polycystic ovary syndrome may cause overweight and obesity. Other contributions to weight gain can come from certain medicines including some antidepressants, corticosteroids, and seizure medicines.
Emotional Factors, Stress & Poor Sleeping Habits. When they are bored, angry, upset, or stressed, some people eat more than usual. The more likely they are to have overweight or obesity, studies also have found that the less people sleep. Usually, to help control appetite and the body’s use of energy, hormones are released during sleep.
