Overweight is written and talked about more and more, but despite this, the number of people with overweight increases constantly. Specialists state the drastic change in lifestyle of humans in the last decades and the following physiological and psychological changes to which human organism cannot give an adequate answer, as basic reason for this.
Reasons of being overweight:
1. Your life is constant motion.
You don't get enough sleep, you eat sandwiches at work, and your main meal is late at night or even in the night.
The disorders in nutrition behaviour will undoubtedly lead to the appearance of overweight. Try to have an abundant breakfast, and to take light food in the evenings, basically consisting of fast absorbing carbohydrates. Chronic insufficient sleep also disturbs the production of digestive ferments.
2. You are all day long on your desk , in the other time you don't get out of your car, and you spend the evenings in bed before the TV.
The lack of enough motion (hypodynamia) is a process at which organism doesn't have a reason to spend the absorbed calories. The result is one and simple - increase of the physical loading, which will contribute to activation of the metabolism and the sympathetic nervous system (it is responsible for the weight loss). Even if you dance or swim (i. e. non - force exercises) you will without any problem gradually lose the accumulated fats.
3. You go through a difficult moment in your life and you have only one joy - in spite of all to eat to satiety and to lie in bed.
It has been ascertained that 30 % of people get fat "due to stress", in condition of depression. Sometimes the voracious appetite and gaining weight are the only signs
of a psychic disease. In this case you need mostly correct psychotherapy and medicines which to remove the anxiety and to improve your mood.
4. Overproduction of hormones.
You notice that your face has become rounder, your cheeks have acquired red nuance, and more hair grows on your body. High blood pressure upsets you. At women the menstrual cycle is often disturbed, and men suffer from reduced potency.
This happens at greater production of hormones of the adrenal glands(glucocorticoids). The reason can be the presence of some infection or malign formation in the adrenal glands, illness of some part of the brain (pituitary gland or hypothalamus) or taking of medicines containing glucocorticoids (they are most often prescribed at rheumatism or inflammations).
5. You suffer from a chronic disease - of kidneys, cardiovascular system, or you have problems with the digestive organs.
You retain liquids in your body. They are externally expressed when their amount exceeds 5 liters. In this way your body mass increases with 5 - 7%. This illness has to be treated obligatorily.
6. Gaining weight is combined with skin itching, frequent urinating, deteriorated vision, thirst.
These are the typical signs of diabetes of 2 type. You have to search for assistance of an endocrinologist to make yourselves a blood analysis and to test your pancreas.
7. You go through the so called hormonal stress - pregnancy, climax, puberty.
During those periods your organism makes an adjustment and related hesitations in weight. It is considered that it is most difficult to lose the excess weight, accumulated during the last two months of pregnancy.
