1. Why Obesity is a Sub-health State
When people were relatively poor, obesity was often called "fortune" and regarded as a symbol of wealth and status. However, with the abundance of material wealth and improved living standards, people's calorie intake far exceeds their calorie expenditure, making obesity a social issue. The proportion of obese individuals has been increasing at a rapid rate each year. As a typical manifestation of sub-health, obesity has become a major threat to people's health and well-being. Even the World Health Organization (WHO) has called on humanity to fight against obesity. Why is obesity listed as a symptom of sub-health? The reason is quite simple: obesity is a third state between health and disease. It exists as a symptom and is a precursor to many serious illnesses. For example, obesity easily leads to high blood pressure and high blood lipids, can trigger diabetes, makes individuals more susceptible to cardiovascular diseases, especially heart disease, and also increases the risk of cancer. The dangers of obesity are unmatched by other sub-health symptoms. Preventing obesity means eliminating the breeding ground for some serious diseases, ensuring a degree of protection for human health.
2. Why the Onset of Obesity Has Premonitions
Many obese individuals wonder how they became overweight and, by the time they realize it, can't figure out why. In reality, obesity occurs in a pattern and comes with premonitions. With a little attention, these signs are not difficult to notice. Once these obesity alarms are detected, taking swift action can help prevent obesity. Experts have summarized some premonitions of obesity, which may be useful for most people. First is sleepiness. If your sleep schedule used to be regular, but recently you find yourself excessively sleepy for no apparent reason. Second is overeating. Your appetite has increased recently, feeling hungry right after a meal, especially at night, as if something is always left undone without a late-night snack. Third is a fear of movement. If you used to enjoy exercise but now find yourself avoiding physical activity—even taking the elevator to the next floor or catching a bus for a short ride—you may be experiencing this symptom. Intense physical exercises like playing sports or running have lost their appeal, and you spend most of your time indoors. Fourth is fatigue. Your physical condition is weak, and you sweat profusely and gasp for breath even after slight exertion, with slower recovery times. These four obesity warning signs can each lead to obesity, so close attention should be paid to avoid developing obesity.
3. Why Women Are More Prone to Obesity
In real life, the proportion of obese women is higher than that of men. This is because men's physiological structures are generally superior to those of women. First, the number of fat cells differs. For some unknown reason, women have far more fat cells than men, meaning their fat storage capacity is greater than that of men, making them more prone to obesity. Second, there are differences in physiological factors. Women's estrogen secretion promotes fat synthesis, causing fat to accumulate in their bodies, while men's testosterone does not have this drawback, making women more susceptible to obesity. Additionally, women's
