10 Reasons behind gaining overweight

Reasons behind gaining overweight

We gain overweight unconsciously by some practices. But we can easily change these practices and lengthen the way of maintaining a balanced weight. So along with exercise and proper diet chart, we have to be aware of the mistakes that we often do which increase our weight.

    1.       Eating by sitting in front of the TV or computer

If we eat watching TV then we eat too much food unwittingly. And it happens because of our attention on TV.  The stomach may become full but we still continue to eat because there is food in front of us. This is called “Mindless calorie consumption.”

    2.       Eating on bigger plates

We usually take foods on our plates as long as it gets full. So if the plate is big then half of the plate of foods is enough for your health but we think that half plate of foods is not enough for our appetite. So we have a tendency to eat full plate. That’s why we have to practice eating in small plate rather than large plate. The diameter of the plate should be 8.5 inch to 10 inch.

    3.      Taking too much stress

In recent time additional stress is the reason of increasing abdominal weight. Stress creates “Cortisol” in our body which is also called Stress hormone. If this coristol remains in bloodstream in large number then it could be a reason of gaining overweight. Because additional cortisol helps body to release insulin which will increase appetite. So the more the cortisol exists the more will feel hunger and as a result you will eat a lot. Hen you will stress then cortisol increases your blood sugar. And this high blood sugar level will create additional glucose which turns into fat in your body

    4.       Not using stairs

Now a days in the home, office, market there are elevators. So people have gained a tendency to use elevator even in 2^nd floor. This practice make is idle gradually. And this is a cause of gaining overweight as well. So you should use the stairs to maintain a balanced weight.

    5.       Eating less protein

We have to eat all kind of food moderately. We have to eat moderate amount of protein alongside other foods. Because protein helps to burn calories and enhance digestive process. I can eat sea food and chicken as a source of protein.

    6.       Drinking more Liquid Calories

In outside we have a tendency to drink juice, soft drinks instead of water. You can hardly find anyone who drinks water at fast foods or restaurants. These doest not fill our appetite so we drink this kind of soft drinks a lot. But though these drinks are less in quantity but they contain huge number of calories. So who drinks these kinds of soft drinks or juice gains weight very rapidly.

    7.       Less sleep

Irregularity in sleep is a cause of overweight. In a research it has been proved that those who sleeps 5 to 6 hours gains more weight than who sleeps for 8 hours. This happens because of “Leptin” and “Ghrelin” hormone. Sleeping less decreases leptin level and increases ghrelin level. High ghrelin level increases our appetite. In other case low leptin level make us feel hungry even after eating. So then you will want to eat frequently and it will increase weight.

    8.       Not taking breakfast

We often do not eat anything after waking up from bed in the morning and go out for office or college. But we have to keep in mind that if we do not take breakfast then it will enhance to gaining weight. Breakfast make our metabolism vigor which is necessary to burn the calories.  Moreover, if we not take breakfast we feel more hungry at lunch and we a lot.

    9.       Eating  to quickly

One may have tendency to eat fast. They eat an extra amount of food unconsciously. For example if a person takes 2/4 spoon of rice then if he/she etas fast then there is a chance of taking  5/6 spoon of rice or he/she can take 4 breads instead of 6 breads. So take 7/8 sec interval after eating 3 times. Try to understand you appetite and how much food you need to fulfill your hunger.

    10.   Not drinking water before eating

We normally eat with a empty stomach. We can maintain a balanced weight by drinking a glass of water before taking each meal. Because water will take some space in your stomach that’s why you can’t eat extra amount of food which is unnecessary. You can take herbal tea instead of water. If you don’t like drinking only water, you can mix some slice of lemon.
