Alimentary obesity (exogenously-constitutional obesity): the main causes

Primary obesity, or alimentary, is the consequence of the fact that a person either abuses food, or moves little. This also applies to the part of humanity who has a sedentary job. In these circumstances, fat that enters the body, as well as carbohydrates are not fully used. Instead, they are deposited in the subcutaneous tissue, around the organs.

The second cause of this disease can be the effects of other diseases associated with the endocrine and central nervous system, as well as psychological disorders.

The formation of fat deposits in large quantities in the human body is obesity. In the present time, this disease is considered an epidemic of non-infectious nature. The nutrition of most people deviates much from the balanced, and the food itself does not consist of healthy products. Their diet is mainly composed of fats and carbohydrates.

Kinds

If we talk about alimentary obesity, then it should be noted that it is divided into three types, referring to the places where the fat deposits are located . The following types are known:

1. Android. It is most common in men. Here, fat accumulation is concentrated in the abdomen and axillae. This species has a subtype - abdominal, which means - the fat is located only under the epidermis of the abdomen and surrounds the internal organs.
2. Gynoid appearance. It is inherent more to the female sex. Fats are deposited on the hips and lower abdomen.
3. A mixed view. In this case, the fat deposits are located on all parts of the body.

External causes

Alimentary obesity can occur under the influence of external and internal factors.
External reasons include:

• Eating large amounts of food. Because of this, both adults and children are affected.
• Reflex to eat a lot. It is acquired over time. If there is a stressful situation, then for many people to calm down you need something high-calorie to eat. Some people come home from work, relax, watch their favorite programs on TV and at the same time use harmful food.
• National tradition. In this case, some people not only change their lifestyle, but also a daily diet that is not always beneficial to the body.
• Sedentary lifestyle. Very many are not particularly active. After a hard day, people just want to lie down and sleep. In addition, in our time, many still have a sedentary job. Then the activity is reduced to almost zero.

Internal

Internal causes are:

• Heredity. When someone in the family is inclined to this disease, future generations will be at risk.
• The rate of fat metabolism, which depends on how the fat tissue is arranged.
• The active functioning of the centers located in the hypothalamus, which are responsible for the state of satiety or hunger.

This is the main cause of obesity.

Degrees

Specialists identified 4 degrees of the disease:

• The first stage - fat deposits make up to 39 percent of the normal weight of a person;
• The second - up to 49 percent;
• The third - overweight is 99 percent;
• The fourth is the heaviest form, where excess fat is more than one hundred percent.

Calculate the indicator

Excess weight is calculated without the help of specialists, independently. This is done like this:

1. Take two indicators - weight and height.
2. The growth indicator is translated into meters. The resulting digit is multiplied by a similar number.
3. Weight is divided by the resulting number.
4. The result is ready - it remains only to verify whether it fits into weight norms.

Established weights

Excess body weight has its generally accepted norms. They differ in such indicators:

• If the estimated total is from 18.5 to 24.9, then it means that the weight is in order and does not threaten the state of health;
• When the same result from 25 to 29.9 - excess weight is present; Especially should pay attention when the indicator is 27, since the risk of obesity is increasing;
• From 30 to 34,5 - it is necessary to begin to worry, this is the alimentary adiposity of the first degree;
• At the result from 35 to 39.9 a second degree is observed, it must be treated already;
• Above 40 - the third degree; In this case, people are hard with their weight, and this adds to the secondary diseases;
• An indicator greater than 50 indicates a fourth degree of obesity, it is accompanied by many other serious abnormalities in the body.

At the slightest change in weight, do not hesitate to seek advice from a doctor. He will be able to explain what is alimentary obesity and what its consequences may be.

Concomitant diseases

Excess weight can contribute to the development of diseases in such body systems as:

• Respiratory;
• Cardiovascular;
• Digestive;
• Endocrine.

With a negative effect on the cardiovascular system, one can observe the emergence and development of:

• Atherosclerosis;
• Hypertensive disease;
• Myocardial infarction;
• Varicose veins.

Fat deposits, which are located in the abdomen, change the position of the diaphragm. And this, in turn, is fraught with a violation of the pulmonary system. The elasticity of the lungs is significantly reduced, as a result, the development of pulmonary insufficiency begins.

Approximately half of people with obesity have gastritis. In addition, various diseases of the liver, pancreas and gallbladder are actively developing.

Recommendations

In the fight against alimentary obesity, diet and sports are used. The diet should be developed by a specialist taking into account the individual organism. In addition, it is necessary to adhere to such recommendations:

• Follow the rules of healthy eating;
• Do not eat in the evening and at night;
• In the intervals between eating, to make snacks, necessarily light, so as not to load heavily the stomach;
• Portions during meals should be small;
• Observe the drinking regime;
• Completely abandon the harmful products;
• Periodically cleanse the body using only safe methods.

• Much faster to reduce weight;
• Strengthen the muscles;
• Improve the performance of the heart system;
• Reduce the risk of many diseases;
• Cheer up.

Obesity is exogenous-constitutional. Treatment Recommendations

Unlike alimentary, exogenously-constitutional obesity differs not only in its distribution in the body, but also in the duration of development. The fight against him is also a bit different. Drug treatment is not used, since it only gives a temporary effect.

In this case, the treatment is carried out under the watchful supervision of a nutritionist. One of the important recommendations in this method are:

• Low-calorie diet;
• Minimum amount of carbohydrates and fats in the diet;
• Mandatory consumption of fruits and vegetables in fresh form;
• Constant reception of the biological additives and vitamins prescribed by the doctor.

Also, do not consume more than 5 grams of salt a day. It is useful to spend unloading days. Once a week will be enough. In addition, in the fight against obesity, a proper psychological attitude is necessary, since diets and physical activities fundamentally change the habits and lifestyle of the patient.
