Obesity Problem: less pulses for Obese

Obesity ProblemThe ‘ obesity and the strong overweight are considered social ills, not only for the inconvenience they cause the individual who is affected in comparison to current standards of beauty, but also for the fact that it is often the company to cause such problems : a company that “creates” the fat and then reject, a society in which to live fat and high calorie foods touted as excellent snacks and breaks hunger with anorexic models and fake beauty. On this very dramatic background fits a recent study, however, adds more facets to this problem: the company “creates” the fat, but not limited to the company.

The research in question has been put in place by the Yale University School of Medicine in Connecticut, and the University of Southern California, and is based on brain scans of people be so thin that fat, to monitor a small part of “officer” to control impulses. From this study it was found that when people who have been subjected to the study looked at high-calorie foods, functional magnetic resonance recorded in the thin part of the increased activity of the brain that controls impulses. In overweight people, however, has not been a great activity of this “brain space”.

The study involved 14 people, nine of which five are grossly overweight and lean, and the results were published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Dr. Robert Sherwin, who has worked on this research, said: “I think there may be essentially biological reasons behind the fact that some people can not control their desire for food.”

But this can not be a justification for a state that can be seriously detrimental to health as well as beauty. Genetics aside, it is essential to provide adequate physical activity daily and eat healthily and properly, allowing themselves the goodies maybe once or twice a week. Then there will be those who have been helped more by nature and has a metabolism faster, not easily accumulate liquid and has no annoying fat pads. But eating healthily and doing sports is a right and a duty of all to themselves, regardless of the hit parade of beauty parades. Let’s leave those on TV, and enjoy the life we have the opportunity to do so, as we move more and eating well reward us. And smile, because it is the weapon of seduction more effective!
