Obesity is the major problem facing in nigeria nowadays
Most nigerian die due to the cause of obesity.
Obesity is accumulation of excessive body fat which is extremely abnormal to human consumption.
Overweight literally means weighing more than usually expected.
Obesity is not a day’s or a month’s process but mostly develop and accumulate over the years.
It happens due to eating excess calories over a long period of time.
When there is huge difference of Calories going inside the body and coming out.
Obesity is an issue which is increasing over the nation and globe and must be carefully look into.
We all need to watch our weight and take care of our body..
When talking about obesity this phrase is often used:
It happens due to eating excess calories over a long period of time.
I have been reviewing the literature as well as doing my own investigation for a number of years ... because I am obese.
I wish that it was due to eating excess calories or even just an artifact of inactivity. They say that sitting is the new smoking. If that was the case paraplegics must all be obese! I believe there is faulty causal attribution going on. Yes eating too much can lead to obesity. Yes inactivity can lead to obesity but what if obesity is a symptom not a "disease"?
Other factors might be at play aside from those two facts. One way that the body cleans toxins from the body is by processing it through the liver (and kidneys). What if the liver is overwhelmed by toxins - what else can work. If a toxin is fat soluble (just as vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat soluble) one way that a body can protect itself is by encapsulating toxins in fatty tissue.
There is one toxin that we have increase consumption of dramatically since the 1950's ... caffeine. If you need that caffeine fix in order to stay alert ... this means that your adrenal glands have been overwhelmed. At a certain point your body will need to encapsulate caffeine to protect the organs - causing your body to increase fat production.
A second toxin which is prevalent in our diet is Erucic acid. In large quantities (based on animal trials) this fatty acid can cause myocardial lipidosis. This establishes that high doses can cause heart problems but what about low doses over long periods. Lipidosis is a condition which causes abnormal amounts of lipid deposition into the cells. In other words high doses of Erucic acid causes a fatty heart ... and my hypothesis is that sustained low doses over a long period of time can cause fat accumulation in cells around the body. A common vegetable oil - Canola (which is low in Erucic acid) - is a genetically manipulated form or Rape Seed (which is high in Erucic acid). Could a sustained diet of Canola be another factor in obesity? Check out how wide spread Canola is in your diet.
Another factor that might be at play is perhaps a lack of essential nutrients. One particular electrolyte, Potassium, is critical:
If your electrolytes are in imbalance it creates the environment that reduces the set point of your metabolism and leads to insulin resistances and finally obesity.
