Why Are Women More Prone To Obesity Than Men?

All about Obesity

Obesity is a condition where a person accumulates body fat in an excessive amount which affects their body badly and causes many other serious diseases. In medical terms, Obesity means to have BMI>30.

In this modern era, people are eating much more calories as compared to an earlier generation. Despite billions of fund being invested in public awareness campaigns which work to teach people to eat healthily, the ratio of obesity is increasing at a higher rate and women are likely to have obesity more than men. According to recent research, for every two overweight men there at least two overweight women.

Some of the major reason why obesity is more likely to found in women than men are:

Pregnancy: everyone is aware of pregnancy weight gain. Many doctors have said that at this stage, women gain minimum 10-12 kgs weight. People tend to believe that eating in double amount during pregnancy and post pregnancy is mandatory and this is the reason why women gain more weight in pregnancy and thus a major cause of obesity further.

Bad eating habits and lack of physical exercise: obesity is mainly a result of a bad lifestyle. Women are likely to develop more addiction for junk or fast food which results in body fat. Lack of physical exercise and being ignorant about the physique is also a major reason for producing the fat in women body.

The hormones: naturally women’s body is capable of producing more body mass as compared to men. Oestrogen, when possessed in abundance, creates cellulite, water retention which results in the mass gain on the thighs and hip region of the women’s body.

Emotional baggage: psychologist had suggested that some women cannot handle their emotional turmoil and preferably eat sweets or chocolates more to reduce their pain. Thus, women grow fatter when they are emotionally weak by eating more junk foods or chocolates.

Genetic tendency: the weight gain issues are likely to transfer from genes. Hereditary fat is one of the most obvious reasons for the fat found in the young girls. A woman obesity is also caused when fat is in their genes, i.e. if family members have big bodies.
