Let's start out the week with some information I googled regarding Obesity.
Why are we obese?
- Physical activities - we are all too stationary and need more physical activities
- Genetics - a strong component, but doesn’t completely predetermined because of our genes
- Junk foods, we eat too many processed foods
- Food Addiction - These highly engineered junk foods cause powerful stimulation of the reward centers in our brains
- Aggressive marketing companies aggressively marketing unhealthy products as healthy foods
- Insulin regulates energy storage among other things. Insulin tells fat cells to store fat and hold onto fat that you already have. Best way to lower insulin is to cut back on carbs.
- Certain Medications - weight gain as a side effect
- Leptin - hormone crucial in obesity. Leptin produced by fat cells and sends signals to hyprothalamus we are full and to stop eating. We have lots of fat and leptin, but problem is that leptin isn’t working like it should, for some reason the brain becomes resistant to leptin.
- Sugar - is the single worst part of the modern diet. Excess sugar changes hormones and biochemistry of body contributing to weight gain. Excess fructose causes insulin resistance and elevates levels causing leptin resistance.
