Obesity
The word
''Obesity'' means the excessive accumulation of body fat and the imbalance
between the food intake and the utilization of food. It is a common disease in
the world. Also, it seriously sweeps through and spreads in the U.S.A. There
are a lot of factors which cause the development of Obesity. Moreover, it can
also appear at any ages, and it's more common to happen among females than
among males. In America, there are a lot of families showing the increase of
tendency to gaining weight, eating habits & use of medication. Obesity can
lead to a life-long threatening disease. There are 3 types of obesity: Generic
Obesity, Eating Habits Obesity and Obesity Related to Diseases. There are many
ways to avoid and prevent ourselves from suffering from Obesity. This paper is
going to discuss about genetic obesity, personal habits and how to prevent
diseases.
Obesity
is a major topic to write about, and there are a lot of studies and researches
done on obesity and its causes by scientists around the world, because it
contributes in many diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Also, there are a
lot of obese people. Like in the United States, there is more than 60 million
adult who are obese about 20 percent. (Obesity, Genetic Factors).
There are
problems between scientists regarding genetic factors that cause or more than
the risk of obesity. Obesity runs in families and it may have a genetic cause.
However, family members share not only genes but also diet and lifestyle habits
that may help to obesity. Detailing these lifestyle factors from genetic ones
is often difficult.
A
discovery in the scientific field explained why some people become overweight
and others don’t. It was all related to the discovery of a gene known as FTO.
(Obesity Gene Discovered).
So for
furthermore researches, scientists are planning to find other groups who have
the FTO variant outside Europe. The South Asians and black American are more
prevalent for diabetes and obesity than other population, so scientists are
planning to study their DNA. (Obesity Gene Discovered).
FTO is
known to play a role in the hypothalamus, which regulates appetite. The study
didn’t help them work out the biological mechanism behind the FTO gene and
weight control, so they suspect it has to do with the regulation. (Obesity Gene
Discovered).
Genetic
factors play a major role in obesity or injury of individual effects. The
influence of environmental factors, such as a lack of physical exercise and
poor nutrition in the emergence of the effects of obesity or its properties. The
factors that can be changed, they include diet may result in a slight increase
in the amount of food that is eaten per capita every day to obesity in the long
term.( The Real Cause of Obesity).
A sport
also affects the part of body fat and improves the psychological status. May
proven that the practice of sport can eliminate gradually the risk of heart
disease, high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. (The Real Cause of
Obesity).
They
found a formation of this gene, after that, a scientist give advices to
patients about diet. A new treatment of obesity in the near future. Even then,
diet and food remain the most important part of patient care in this area. (The
Real Cause of Obesity).
Genetics
does not cause obesity. However, obesity and genetics are closely tied
together. So the answer for the problem of obesity which is going by the idea
that it is the matter of genetics, clearly, everyone should adopt a
heart-healthy diet and increase their physical activity as part of a healthy
lifestyle. (The Real Cause of Obesity).
Obesity
because of eating a lot of food, this type spreads in children make children
open appetite to eat after that the children threatening life obesity. The
proportion of obese children is more in the world. There are many factors in
the spread of obesity is the most important: poor eating habits of eating large
amounts of food and Exercise sports. (Obesity in Children and Teens).
Obesity has a deep effect on a
child's life. Obesity increases the child's risk of numerous health problems.
Obese children are also more likely to be obese as adults, increasing their
risk of serious health problems such as heart disease and stroke. (Obesity in
Children And Teens).
Obesity
in America is widespread. The Government must run an announcement shows the
riskiness of Obesity. The government should put health insurances to all
patients. Scientists have proved that obesity is the disease which is spreading
recently. So, should discover effective treatment of obesity to stop spreading
it. (Is obesity a disease).
Obesity
is a problem for millions of users in the world. 66% Of people in the United
States per statistics for more than 20 years of age is overweight is
identified. In fact, obesity can lead to many diseases such as Diabetic, high
blood pressure, heart disease, depression, low self-value and social
stigmatization. Sometimes, however, it may be disease, obesity, hypothyroidism,
polycystic ovarian syndrome-syndrome, property.
Although many people may be familiar with many of the diseases
associated with obesity. So, we must examine the patient's disease.
There is
also another disease lead to obesity, ovarian. This is one of the most common
female hormonal diseases that produce symptoms in about 5-10% of reproductive
age between 12 and 45. Patient may come to a doctor with the symptom as menstrual
disorders, infertility, weight gain, finally can led to diabetic. (Blass,
Elliot. 20-25).
Symptoms
and signs of hypothyroidism are different from patient to patient depending on
the severity. At the beginning, I noticed that the patient has difficulty, and
then begin to have other symptoms, increased sensitivity to cold, constipation,
dry skin, puffy face, hoarse voice, high levels of cholesterol, unexplained
weight gain, muscle pain, tenderness, and stiffness, pain, stiffness or
swelling in the joints of your blood, muscle weakness, heavier than normal
menstrual periods, brittle nails and hair, depression. I can diagnose this
patient thyroid function tests, then you can give them to treat thyroid tablet
to use it for a lifetime. (To
the most common Disease that leads to Obesity is hypothyroidism).
However,
there are many diseases can lead to obesity, we discuss with you there that is
common in the world, such as depression, many syndromes affecting the child.
What I want to say we must diagnose the obese people to prevent disease.
Treatment of obesity may contain a combination of diet, exercise, behavior
Modification, and sometimes weight loss drug. A combination of diet and
physical activity may be more effective conservation of weight than diet and
exercise only in adults. Types of physical activity are not important. (Blass,
Elliot. 20-25).In some cases of severe obesity, gastrointestinal surgery may be
recommended.
The reduction
of obesity and weight control is a continuous effort and can include a number
of significant changes in eating habits, exercise routines and the general way
of life. That's a lot of evidence that people grow overweight and obesity,
incorporating lifestyle changes should be maintained for a longer period for
the benefit of the first mass. The combination of reduced food intake and
increased physical activity are more likely to lead to lasting weight loss. (Blass,
Elliot. 20-25).
As
already mentioned, including the treatment of obesity and long term weight
management is the number one element. Here are some of the most important ways
in which the issues are addressed. Changes in behavior and behavioral skills in
nutrition and physical activity habits will change to avoid weight gain is
often used.
Sessions
include all members of the family not all members of each consultant of
behavioral consultation (including in the prevention of obesity in children is
used).
Family
therapy is more effective than the conventional system and the movement to
prevent the weight does gain not necessarily for children. High in calories and
low volume should avoid foods and replaced by the growth of complex
carbohydrates and an increase in fruits and vegetables. The low-calorie diet is
not recommended for children, and they are not effective.
It is
more efficient, less life rather than simply try to stimulate activity. A
collection of daily physical activity should be a key, if at least 30 minutes
five times a week is difficult to identify. (Blass, 20-25).
Polished,
regular physical activity can lead to results. This type of exercise is not
important and short periods of hiking can use several cumulatively. (Blass,
Elliot. 20-25).
About the treatment of the obesity it
will be successful if create it for long time. The goal to loss weight is exercise
and eating healthy diet. There is many method to decrease weight that is depend
on level of obesity. That method includes: diet change, exercise, prescribe
weight loss drug, and surgery.
Diet
change: We can change the weight by decrease calorie intake that can measure it
by dietitian. Also by eating healthy food
like fruit, vegetables, and low fat diet.
Exercise:
Exercise is important part to loss weight. It will be enough if they do it 20
minute there times per week. (Treatments and drugs).
Prescribe
weight loss drug: Some time the people need medication to loss weight but they
must to do exercise & decrease intake with it. Xenical one of the drug that
used to loss weight by decrease absorption of fat from stomach and intestine.
(Treatments and drugs).
Surgery: the last method to loss weight is surgery with
indication that BMI is 35 or more. There is different type of surgery like:
Gastric sleeve;
remove part of stomach.
Gastric bypass:
the surgeon do small pouch on the top of the stomach and connect this pouch
with intestine. (Treatments and drugs). In fact, there is other type but that’s
the common used.
How to
prevent weight regain after obesity treatment: Unfortunately, its common to
gain with after loss it but you can prevent that by saving time to do regular
exercise that is 20 min there to four time per week and eat healthy diet.
(Treatments and drugs).
I believe
that obesity is a very dangerous disease. Obesity is fast becoming a global
epidemic, as the number of people seriously obese continues to grow. This
condition raises the risk of injury is much higher than the weight of people
they suffer an accident, surgery, or hospitalization as a direct result of your
weight. Scientific data clearly indicate that obesity increases the risk of
human injuries. And there are 3 types of obesity: Generic Obesity, Eating
Habits Obesity and Obesity Related to Diseases, and the cause of each type of
obesity, and treatment of obesity (diet, exercise sport, and surgery). I advise
people to stay away from obesity because it is a deadly disease.
