The causes of obesity
Obesity is definitely the wrong century. Its causes can have physiological or genetic origin. But in most cases, obesity is linked to lifestyle and eating habits. In a consumer society where the temptations of junk food are legion, fewer and fewer people are eating healthy and balanced food. We no longer eat when we hungry, we eat out of envy. In addition, we are eating more and more fatty and sugary food, access to which is greatly facilitated by the food industry that plays on discount.
Everything is in place to move less and make less effort. Patients who are overweight or obese are too often seen as responsible for their situation. They are in fact victims of their society. If obesity is a global epidemic, it is not so difficult to find a remedy and the will is the first half of treatment.
