DIET AND OBESITY – ENVIRONMENT AND THE BEHAVIOR
We start off with a particular genetic make-up. This we can’t alter. We are destined to be either fat or thin. But then comes the influence of our environment and the behavior we learn. We can learn to avoid being overweight even if genetically we have that tendency.
Unfortunately, the seeds of obesity are often sown in childhood. A fat “healthy” baby is likely to grow into a fat child and a fat unhealthy adult.
It is now believed that the number of fat or adipose cells in the body are determined in childhood and that later in life the cells may increase in size but not in number. Being overweight in childhood means more adipose cells are formed and later in life they tend to fill up with fat and so we become obese.
Mothers feed their children not only for them to live and grow but also as a sign of love. Sometimes they overfeed a child to satisfy some neurotic need of their own, and this may lead the person later on to seek satisfaction in eating for other needs besides hunger.
Being overweight is unhealthy at any age. Obesity can lead to an early death. Coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, gall stones and osteoarthritis are all associated with being overweight. How does one go about losing weight? What I said at the beginning is true. Eat and drink less.
