Doctors told about the unexpected causes of obesity.
Many people mistakenly believe that causes excess weight lie only overeating and lack of exercise. However, this is not always the case. There are little known and sometimes unexpected causes of overweight and obesity.
THE INTESTINAL MICROFLORA
Only some of us know about the existence of possible links between excess weight, which does not want to leave, and condition of the intestines, and in particular, the composition of its microflora. However nutritionists now claim that such a connection exists, and it can have far more impact than people are aware of it.
It intestinal inflammation and dysbiosis often leads to a worsening of metabolism and, consequently, weight gain.
What to do?
To exclude this reason, it is necessary to come on reception to the doctor-gastroenterologist to check the microflora of your intestines. For this you will need to pass the various tests: the analysis on a dysbacteriosis, a study on the pathological microflora, ultrasound of the intestines, etc.
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
If a person is constantly breathing air polluted by exhausts of cars, soot and cigarette smoke, it can cause chronic inflammation, which reduce the body’s ability to burn calories and so it leads to weight gain. This surprising link between air pollution and an increase in weight of scientists (researchers Nicholas school for the study of the environment at Duke University (USA) found recently in 2016.
What to do?
Try to frequently spend time in nature, preferably outside the city and breathe the fresh air, minimally polluted city emissions. Ideally, you can move to live somewhere outside the city – away from stuffy and dusty metropolis
PLASTIC UTENSILS
Scientists have proven that various chemical compounds such as bisphenol a (BPA) contained in any plastics also disrupt metabolism and lead to obesity. In addition, this compound prevents the normal production of hormones causes heart disease, diabetes, and breast cancer.
In the US even banned the use for baby food dishes, the production of which used bisphenol A.
What to do?
If possible, use porcelain, ceramic, glass or any other container. The main thing – do not use disposable cups, bottles and other plastic products.
FLU
As it turned out, there was a relationship between adenovirus infection and the development of obesity. To such conclusion scientists from the University of California (USA), the results of a study published in the journal Pediatrics.
The adenovirus AD-36 is one of the 300 types of respiratory viral infections that causes us to sneeze and cough. Another bad property of the adenovirus AD-36 – it destroys the neural pathways that transmit a signal to the brain about the saturation, and the result of people overeating and gaining weight.
What to do?
Protect yourself from flu and other viral infections. But if ill, be sure to promptly seek medical help, not “pereshagivaete” disease on his feet.
AIR CONDITIONERS INCREASE THE RISK OF OBESITY
Air conditioning and heating, maintaining a constant room temperature, do us a disservice: it increases the risk of obesity. Such findings published by American scientists in the International journal of Obesity.
No wonder nature has been provided, that person needs to spend calories to physical exercise and mental effort, but also for heating or cooling of the body. So, statistics show that among those who have a house with air conditioning for 20 years increased the number of obese: if in the beginning it was 37%, now 70%.
