It's well accepted that reduced exercise and junk food are linked to body weight issues.
But the proof that these are the primary reasons for obesity is essentially inconclusive.
To excite debate, gurus suggest ten other possible causes of body weight issues released in the Global Book of weight problems.
1.
Sleep debt.
Getting too tiny sleep can increase body weight.
2.
Today, many get less shut-eye than ever before.
Hormones control body weight.
And plenty of today's contaminants affect our hormones.
3.
Air conditioning.
You've got to burn energy if your environment is too hot or too cold for comfort.
But more folk than ever work and live in temperature-controlled houses and offices.
4.
Reduced smoking.
Smoking decreases weight.
Folks smoke far less than they used to.
5.
Medication.
Many various drugs including contraceptives, steroid hormones, diabetes drugs, some anti-depression drugs, and blood pressure drugs could cause weight gain.
Use of these drugs is on the upwards move.
6.
Population age, ethnic grouping.
Middle aged folk and Hispanic-Americans have a tendency to be more overweight than young European-Americans.
USA citizens are aging and more Hispanic.
7.
Older moms.
There's some proof the older a lady is when she gives birth, the higher her child's possibility of weight.
Girls are giving birth at older and older ages.
8.
Ancestors' environment.
Some influences may go back 2 generations.
Environmental changes that made a grandparent overweight may "through a fatally driven positive feedback loop" visit obesity on the grandkids.
9.
Obesity linked to fertility.
There's some proof fat folks are far more fruitful than lean ones.
If obesity has a genetic part, the share of fat folk in the population should increase.
10.
Unions of fat spouses.
Overweight women have a tendency to marry fat men, and if obesity has a genetic part, there'll be still more fat people in the new generation.
This other contributing elements merit more attention and study.
Even more reasons include: a fat-inducing pathogen; increases in youth depression; less consumption of dairy goods; and hormones utilized in farming.
What do you suspect can be assigned to the epidemic?
