Science does not stand still, and what we considered to be the truth is still a few years ago, now scientists can radically to change. In addition, ever new factors come to light, affecting weight and weight loss. Now many scientists look in a new way at the relationship of weight with genetics, pregnancy and various chemical processes occurring in our the body.

1. This is indeed genetics.
When scientists first discovered the gene responsible for predisposition to obesity and type 2 diabetes, and they called it – “The Obesity Gene” (FTO). People who inherit this a gene is usually overweight. In people inheriting a duplicate of this gene, from both parents, the likelihood of diabetes is 40%, and the likelihood of obesity is 60%. About 16% populations have a double set of obesity gene, and half of us has a single gene.
But now scientists believe that genes that affect weight are much more – more than 100. They have less effect on weight than the main gene FTO obesity, but, nevertheless, they add here and there an extra kilogram.
But predisposition does not mean a life sentence. Regular exercise and a healthy diet greatly reduce your risk. obesity even in genetically predisposed people.

2. Some people just have more fat cells.
And this difference is sometimes huge – in some people it can be 2 times more fat cells than others. And even if you lose weight, the number of fat cells you have will remain the same. Empty and hungry, they will wait in the wings and “hoping” that someday they will be filled again with fat. But how as if this is not enough for injustice – in people who have overweight, fat cells are able to accumulate more fat!
Where do these fat cells come from in the body? They are are formed in childhood and cease to adulthood be produced. In people with excess fat cells, they begin to form earlier (already from the age of two) and, apparently produced faster than those lucky with a small amount of fat cells. And although you can’t control the number of fat cells (this is most likely also genetics), you can not overfeed them. It’s not so important the number of fat cells, how much their size and ability accumulate fat.

3. The pregnancy of your mother predetermined your fate.
Not only smoking or alcohol adversely affects development embryo. Sweet and fatty foods begin to harm you even before your birth. In overweight pregnant women who love sweet and fatty foods, the fetus receives more glucose and free fatty acids, compared with women of normal weight. This surplus negatively affects the metabolism and hormonal system of the future a child.

4. You can change your metabolism.
Metabolism determines how difficult or easy it is for you to burn. excess calories and fats. But slow metabolism can still be speed up. It’s easiest to speed up your metabolism with regular physical activity, especially strength training. Muscle burn more calories than fat mass. In addition, after training, an exchange substances remains accelerated for a couple of hours. In order not to slow down metabolism, do not starve for more than 4 hours.

5. Stress adds you extra pounds.
Stress is the most direct way to find in your mouth. a chocolate bar. Stressful circumstances (catch up with the boss, quarrel with mother-in-law, poor grades of a child-fool) make you want carbohydrate-rich foods that can calm your nerves. If you succumb to this mechanism regularly, then it will begin to work in the flip side – the lack of a favorite chocolate bar or the impossibility watch online nhl in the evening will lead to the production of hormones stress.

6. Sleep more – lose weight faster.

This is because lack of sleep is the same stress which upsets the hormonal balance, forcing the body produce less leptin (the hormone responsible for satiety) and more ghrelin (the hormone responsible for hunger). IN As a result, a person feels constantly hungry without weighty then the grounds.

7. The virus leads to obesity.
Adenoviruses that cause SARS, it turns out, may be the cause obesity. According to recent studies, adenoviruses may increase both the number of fat cells in the body and the amount of fat contained in them. It has been found that in people with obese number of antibodies to adenovirus-36 (one of varieties of adenoviruses) more than people with normal weight. So soon, perhaps, there will also be a vaccine against the obesity virus. Sounds too fantastic? But a few years ago, the same the cervical cancer vaccine sounded fantastic, but now it’s absolute reality.
