Reasons behind Obesity!


Obesity is a disease by which people become plump due to excess storage of fat in the body. Obesity results in adverse effects like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoarthritis and much more. There are many behavioral and psychological causes for obesity like tiredness, stress boredom and much more. When people are tired and hungry, they eat lots and sleep. This is common among the people working in software companies and Business people, as the reach home tired and exhausted in the night. People when they are bored to great extent, the often tend to eat. The obese respond well to external stimuli like sight and smell of food, so even when the person is not actually hungry, they just eat for the pleasure of eating. Often when people are stressed out they just think "What to eat?". Nobody eats carrot or chews some vegetables when they are stressed, instead they eat chocolates and ice creams to relieve them from the stress. So people in order to lead a healthy life, don't indulge in the above activities.
