What is obesity? What are the types of obesity?

Obesity can be divided into simple obesity, secondary obesity and hereditary obesity, and more than 95% of obesity is simple obesity, secondary obesity refers to obesity caused by some diseases or the use of some drugs, hereditary obesity is due to some genetic mutations caused by obesity, simple hereditary obesity is extremely rare.

1. Hereditary obesity.

As a result of congenital genetic factors, if one parent is obese, the child's obesity rate will be as high as 40%, and if both parents are obese, the child's obesity rate may increase to 70%-80%.

2. Nutritional obesity.

A type of obesity with a relatively high incidence includes overnutrition obesity and nutritional deficiency obesity. Overnutrition obesity, also known as acquired obesity, is obesity caused by fat accumulation caused by the calories we consume more than our body's metabolism.

Nutrient-deficient obesity is mainly caused by the deficiency of our calcium, some minerals and vitamin B vitamins.

3. Obesity with too little energy consumption.

It is easy for everyone to understand that the reduction in exercise and consumption is caused by no longer too much explanation.

4. Stress (staying up late) type obesity.

Staying up late and stress is a common problem faced by office workers, and it is also a hidden danger to our health, because excessive stress will cause our hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal cortex axis secretion, causing our glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids to rise, glucocorticoids will lead to an increase in blood sugar, and an increase in blood sugar will cause insulin resistance, resulting in fat accumulation;

In addition, the increase of mineralocorticoids will cause water and sodium retention in the body, which is a common edematous obese person, which is very closely related to stress. Staying up late to sleep less can lead to an increase in human intake, a decrease in consumption, poor sleep, and also cause appetite disorders and the inability to control our food intake.

If we stay up late the day before, we will be in bad spirits the next day, and if we are not in good spirits, we will not like to do physical activities, which will increase our absorption, and if our spirit is not good, we will not consume, and under this comprehensive effect, it will further lead to obesity.

5. Metabolic type (gene).

Metabolic obesity is divided into glucose-metabolizing obesity and lipid-metabolizing obesity.

Glucose-metabolizing obesity: Glucose metabolism refers to the metabolic pathways of sugars (carbohydrates) within cells. When the ability to metabolize and synthesize sugar is strong, it may lead to the conversion of carbohydrates ingested in the diet into fat storage capacity and enhance the ability to store fat, so that the body has obesity symptoms.

Lipometabolic obesity: Fat metabolism refers to the synthesis and decomposition process of fat in living organisms, which mainly refers to fat mobilization, which is decomposed into glycerol and fatty acids under the action of lipase, and then oxidized into carbon dioxide and water respectively, which participate in the body's energy supply.

6. Imbalance of intestinal flora.

The imbalance of intestinal flora may be an unfamiliar concept to you, and there is a lot of research in medicine now. It has been proven to be a direct factor in our type 2 diabetes and our obesity.

7. Endocrine disorder.

People with low thyroid function in general and some of our women have hormonal imbalances, including our pancreas, metabolic problems, etc. Endocrine disorders, at the beginning, manifested in irregular menstruation, fat fat, and easy acne on the face during menstruation, the best way to determine is to go to the hospital to check the hormone level.

Obesity is divided into these types, and only by correctly recognizing your own type of obesity can you be correct and scientific**.
