Obesity
What impacts obesity:
“Community, home, child care, school, health care, and workplace settings can all influence people’s daily behaviors. Therefore, it is important to create environments in these locations that make it easier to engage in physical activity and eat a healthy diet”. Says https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/adult/causes.html. People may be obese because of food, but some may be obese because of the environment they live in which impacts their behaviors and what they can and cannot do.
“There’s been a dramatic increase in obesity and in obesity-related diseases. This is the reason why communities, states, and the federal government are putting an emphasis on healthy food choices and activities to help turn the tide on obesity.” Says Healthline.com. Obesity is becoming a major problem in many places around the world, especially in the USA. What you eat and what you do with your body affect your health and even employment.
Calories:
The average man that is physically active needs to eat around 2,500 calories to stay healthy. A physically active woman needs to eat 2,000 to remain healthy and have a good weight. A calorie is something that people measure the energy in food with.
That number of calories might seem high, but it’s really not. For example, a large burger, fries, and a milkshake combined can reach around 1,500 calories and that’s only 1 meal. So eating more than enough calories that your body needs is pretty easy, that’s why many people overeat and become obese or overweight.
Another reason why people are overweight is they are not physically active. So most of the calories that they eat they will not burn so it will end up being stored in their bodies and turned into fat.
Causes of Obesity:
Obesity has many causes, here is an example of what might cause obesity:
One of the things that can cause obesity is your emotions. There are many emotions and some of them cause people to gain weight. And these emotions are sadness, stress, anger, frustration, jealousy and more. You might have noticed that all of the listed emotions are negative.
When people feel a negative emotion they usually seek comfort food, and for most people comfort food is junk food. It is made using chemicals, GMO and other ingredients that make production more cheep. The most dangerous thing is that producers add taste intensifiers. And they are causing addiction.
