Why do you gain weight?

• May 4, 2024

According to a study published by the University of Michigan in the magazine Psychological Science , what a person believes about what increases in weight, that is, the causes of obesity, could affect to a large extent their real weight.

According to the tests applied in five countries of the three continents, in a general way people think that the lack of physical activity , as well as a bad feeding , are the main causes of obesity, so they insist on trying to avoid at least one of them.

The above, according to the researchers, when trying to avoid or prevent one of both causes of obesity, the other ends up affecting the person. In other words, when a person who performs enough physical activity , thinking that the sedentary lifestyle It is the main cause of your overweight, tends to eat more, without considering that this is actually the cause that is affecting your weight.

The same thing happens with people who have a good feeding , who stop performing physical activity considering that they will maintain a good weight only through the diet , therefore, the lack of exercise becomes one of the main causes of obesity or overweight in the long run.

According to the researchers, "our conclusion is simply that people who firmly believe that the lack of exercise , instead of poor diet, is the main cause of obesity tend to have higher body mass. "

In this way, specialists consider that the psychological or mental factor really has an important role in the causes of obesity. In addition, they explain, these are not only the reasons that people believe affect their weight, but they range from the way and reasons why people eat, to aspects of hormonal imbalance.
