Obesity occurs when a person consumes more calories than he or she burns. For many people this boils down to eating too much and exercising too little. But there are other factors that also play a role in obesity.
These may include: Age, Gender, Genetics, Environmental factors, Illness, Medication, Overeating, Physical inactivity, A diet high in simple carbohydrates, Frequency of eating, Slow metabolism, Psychological factors, Diseases such as hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, polycystic ovary syndrome and Cushing's syndrome, Ethnicity, Childhood weight and Hormones.
One of the most painful aspects of obesity may be the emotional suffering it causes. Great emphasis is placed on physical appearance, often equating attractiveness with slimness or muscularity. In addition, many people wrongly stereotype obese people as gluttonous, lazy, or both. However, more and more evidence contradicts this assumption. Obese people often face prejudice or discrimination at work, at school, while looking for a job, and in social situations. Feelings of rejection, shame, or depression are common.
