Weight Management
Being overweight or obese refers to having a body weight that exceeds the healthy range for a given height. According to the CDC, obesity affects approximately 93 million adults in the United States. Individuals with obesity are at an increased risk for serious health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and kidney disease.
Several factors contribute to the development of obesity, including:
Medical Conditions – Disorders such as hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), Cushing’s syndrome, and depression can lead to weight gain.
Genetics – Family history plays a significant role; individuals with obese parents are more likely to experience obesity themselves.
Lack of Physical Activity – A sedentary lifestyle reduces calorie expenditure, contributing to weight gain.
Overeating – Diets high in fats and calories can increase the risk of obesity when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure.
Medications – Some medications, including antidepressants, insulin, oral contraceptives, and corticosteroids, may lead to weight gain as a side effect.
Emotional and Psychological Factors – Emotional eating triggered by feelings such as sadness, anger, boredom, or depression can result in excessive weight gain.
