The word "obese"describes someone who has a lot of body fat.If your body weight is at least twenty percent more than it should be,you will be considered obese.
Around thirty percent of the world's population is now obese or overweight.Obesity causes many health problems.
And there are lots of different reasons why people become obese.
Taking in too many calories
Compared with previous generations,people are eating for more these days.Not only are we eating more,but we are also eating the wrong things.Many people eat processed food and drinks which are full of sugar.Lots of money is being spent on campaigns to inform people about healthy eating,but many of us still overeat.
Lack of exercise
Our lifestyles are also less active.Televisions,computers and other modern technologies have led to the sedentary(久坐的)way we now live our lives.People walk less as they rely on their cars more.Of course,if we are not moving,we can't bum the calories we take in.
Lack of sleep
Surprisingly,your chances of being obese will be doubled if you don't get enough sleep.This is true for both adults and children.The reason why this happens is that lack of sleep causes some hormones(荷爾蒙) to change and when these hormones change,we eat more.
Genetics
Unluckily,one in six people have a gene that makes them overeat and prefer sugary,fatty food.The gene also means that these people take a lot longer to feel full.
