Obesity is a potential threat to health.
There are more than a billion obese people in the world! According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022, there are more than 1 billion obese people worldwide, including 6500 million adults, 3400 million adolescents and 39 million children.
Obesity affects all age groups and has a wide-ranging and far-reaching impact on physical and mental health.
Worryingly, each of the top 10 causes of death in the world in 2022 is related to obesity (medical studies have shown that obesity is a risk factor for COVID-19 infection, increased risk of hospitalization and complications).
Being overweight and obese has become a potential killer behind the scenes, posing a threat to all levels of the body and mind, forcing us to be vigilant.
As early as 1975, the World Health Organization confirmed the claim that obesity is a chronic disease.
Obesity not only causes various metabolic diseases, but also seriously affects the quality of life, casting a shadow over the road to health and longevity.
The World Obesity Federation has designated March 4 as World Obesity Day, and the number of people who are obese or overweight globally is expected to increase to 2.7 billion by 2025 to promote practical solutions.
Obesity has become a global health crisis, and how can we stand idly by?
**Difficult, even more difficult to prevent regain weight?
For obese people, failure is no stranger, and the vast majority of people will almost regain weight after **.
As often said, ** itself is not difficult, you can lose weight without eating for three days, the difficult thing is how to keep not gaining weight!
In 2007, a study of the world's largest ** published in the academic journal "American Psychologist" pointed out that the first half of the diet may lose 5% to 10% of body weight, but the long-term effect is not good, up to two-thirds of people will return to their original weight within five years, and even half of them are fatter than before.
And the so-called yo-yo effect, in which weight fluctuates repeatedly between weight loss and weight gain, can greatly increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Studies have shown that almost 95% of people regain weight after trying**.
Traditional methods are helpless in dealing with the problem of regaining weight.
Why can't I lose weight after a few regain weight?
People who have tried ** many times have had this experience, whether it is dieting**, exercise**, drugs**, cocktails*** or the most popular skinny injection** in the near future**, in the end, they all get twice the result with half the effort, and even lose more and more weight.
However, to truly lose weight and break free from the curse of regaining weight, you first need to have a deep understanding of the root causes of obesity.
Uncover the real cause of obesity: runaway insulin
Obesity, like diabetes, has too much insulin in the blood.
The responsibility lies with our daily diet, type 2 diabetes is through eating, and obesity is also through eating!
Therefore, to understand obesity, it is first necessary to understand the culprit of obesity – insulin imbalance.
As one of the important hormones in the human body, insulin is the overall conductor of obesity in the human body.
Insulin is not only responsible for regulating blood sugar, but also for storing energy (heat), including the absorption, utilization, and storage of calories.
In the past, people often said: the people take food as the sky, and the emperor eats greatly.
This is actually a response to the human nature of storing energy since ancient times, food directly stores energy, and clothing, shelter and transportation are the consumption of energy, and its purpose is also to help store energy.
Due to the nature of storing energy, human progress is really only doing one thing: creating more heat that can be controlled, and saving more energy consumption.
As a result, repeated runaway insulin can lead to a variety of chronic metabolic diseases, of which obesity is the most prominent.
A direct consequence of insulin imbalance is an overfilling of fat cells.
When the insulin in the body is too high, the cells are less sensitive to it, the energy expenditure of the cells is reduced, and the fat cells begin to store excess energy in large quantities, resulting in the accumulation of fat in the body.
If you want to truly solve the problem of obesity, the first task is to solve the problem of insulin imbalance.
Redefined: Restore insulin sensitivity and achieve longevity
In the new round of obesity research, experts have reached a consensus that the root cause of obesity is insulin imbalance, and restoring insulin sensitivity is the key to solving the obesity problem.
It's no longer a simple diet, it's about really overcoming insulin imbalance and achieving a healthy longevity.
On how to redefine **, the experts made the following suggestions:
1. Low-sugar diet:
Avoid high-sugar diets, especially refined sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. Excessive sugar intake stimulates insulin secretion, leading to insulin imbalance.
2. Moderate exercise:
Moderate aerobic exercise can improve the body's sensitivity to insulin and help prevent insulin imbalances.
3. Balanced diet:
Maintain a balanced diet with moderate amounts of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, and avoid being overly dependent on one type of food.
4. Regular life:
Maintaining a regular routine helps maintain the body's biological clock and helps prevent insulin imbalances.
5. Professional guidance:
If necessary, seek the guidance of a professional doctor or dietitian to develop a personalized plan** that focuses on addressing insulin imbalances.
By taking the above measures, you can improve insulin imbalance more effectively, help people truly achieve healthy results, and avoid the curse of regaining weight.
Solving the problem of obesity requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society, including medical institutions, academia, and everyone needs to take responsibility for the problem of obesity.
By strengthening the promotion of obesity prevention and control, promoting the popularization of science, and providing more support and resources, we can hopefully usher in a healthier, more vibrant and more prosperous society.
Let's work together for a future without obesity!
