Obese, what type are you?

Women are always attracted by beauty. They know that by having beauty, they can have more, but factors that affect beauty always emerge. To this end, women began an endless battle from the day when their female instincts awakened.

It was another cold winter season, and the sisters began to struggle to resist the temptation of various foods for their slim figures. However, they did not know that the cause of obesity was not only excessive food intake, but insufficient food intake could also lead to obesity. Now let's take a look at the causes of obesity?

The main causes and symptoms of different types of obesity are:

1. Simple obesity:

Also known as primary obesity, it is the most common type of obesity, accounting for about 95% of the obese population.

Main cause: His family often has a history of obesity, mainly caused by genetic factors and overnutrition.

Symptoms: This group of people has a relatively uniform distribution of body fat, no endocrine disorders, and no metabolic disorders. Generally speaking, the so-called "middle-aged obesity" belongs to simple obesity.

a. Physical obesity: When you are young, it often refers to not paying attention to diet control before the age of 25, eating and drinking hard, and over-nutrition, coupled with the influence of genetic factors.

b. Acquired obesity: Also called exogenous obesity, it is mostly caused by overnutrition after the age of 20 to 25, which increases the volume of fat cells. This is the reason why many women do not pay attention to controlling their diet after middle age, and their bodies begin to deform and gain weight.

2. Secondary obesity:

Also known as pathological obesity, it is mostly caused by a certain disease in the body. Such obese patients are rare or rare clinically, accounting for only less than 5% of the entire obese population.

The main cause: Obesity is caused by disease that disrupts the balance of endocrine and metabolism.

Symptoms: Obesity is only one of the important symptoms of this type of patient. At the same time, there will be various other clinical manifestations, such as cortisolism, hypothyroidism, pancreatic beta cell tumor, hypogonadism, polycystic ovary syndrome, inner skull plate hyperplasia, etc.

3. Drug-induced obesity:

While some drugs are effective in treating a certain disease, they also have the side effect of making patients obese. For example, the application of adrenocortical hormone drugs to treat allergic diseases, rheumatism, asthma, etc. can also easily cause endocrine disorders in patients and cause obesity. Such obese patients account for about 2% of the obese population. In general, obesity is expected to improve on its own as long as the use of these drugs is stopped. But unfortunately, some patients have since become "stubborn obesity" patients.

The relationship between fat cells and obesity

The formation of obesity is directly related to fat cells in the human body. Fat cells in the human body are composed of cell membranes, nuclei, mitochondrial lipid droplets and enzymes. Among them, lipid droplets account for a considerable proportion, and their size almost controls the size of the entire fat cell. Under normal circumstances, a large number of aging fat cells are renewed and regenerated every day in the human body, but under the effect of metabolism, the total number of fat cells always maintains a dynamic balance. When the body is over-nourished or a certain nutritional deficiency, or genetic defects and lipid metabolism disorders, the fat synthesis rate is faster than the decomposition rate, the fat droplets increase, and the fat cell volume also increases, and the human body begins to gain weight.

Nutrition deficiency and obesity

Science has confirmed that the lack of certain nutrients in the human body can also make people fat. In the process of energy metabolism and fat conversion into energy release and consumption, the body needs a variety of nutrients to complete, such as B vitamins, iron, calcium, zinc and so on. These nutrients are rich in vegetables, fruits and coarse grains. If the intake is insufficient, it will affect the transformation and metabolism of energy, resulting in excess energy, excessive fat storage, and too little consumption, causing weight gain. Therefore, nutritional deficiencies can also lead to obesity. If a person is picky eaters for a long time, food is too fine, abuse nutritional oral liquids, or improper weight loss and diet, it can lead to insufficient intake of certain nutrients, thus causing nutritional deficiency obesity.
