What is the Real Cause Of Health Problems From Obesity?
Is it really storing too much body fat that's a danger to our health, or is
it the habits that lead to fatness in the first place?
We've all heard the news that a state of obesity is a risk to our health,
but no one really becomes overweight within weeks, it takes many years of
infrequent activity and/or too much bad food. So we could suggest that the
serious health issues associated with obesity are really caused from the
regular habits we adopt; a bad diet and a lack of exercise for prolonged
periods, rather than actually possessing too much body fat.
How can we tell which is the main problem?
Lifestyle and dietary habits must play a huge part in any physical changes.
Some research suggests the human body degrades during a long period of
inactivity; some experts refer to this process as the body rotting from the
inside out!
I believe there's a lot of truth in this process, as it cannot be
coincidence that people who become very overweight generally show signs of a
sedentary lifestyle.
Surely our diets are more important than we’re lead to believe, as it's not
just the overweight that can have health problems. There are some skinny
people with bad health and problems that must surely be caused through their
poor eating habits. Some people can be thin and generally look fit but, due
to a bad diet, can be just as susceptible to degenerative diseases. I have
met skinny people who wonder why they have such poor looking skin, hair and
nails, but then continue on their diet of donuts every morning, snacking on
cheatos throughout the day, eating hot dogs and pizza for lunch and smoking.
To many, the answer is obvious!
No matter what the real cause of the health issue may be, I feel we all have
a responsibility for our own state of health, and the first step must be to
take action and gradually improve on what we can, whether it’s dietary
changes or activity levels. I feel the habits that lead to becoming
overweight are much more important to tackle first before attempting to lose
stored fat. After all, it’s these habits which lead to higher fat levels in
the first place.
