Overweight and obesity are defined as excessive fat accumulation that may impair health.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to classify the severity of obesity in adults.
What causes obesity?
The prevalent view on the cause of obesity is excessive caloric intake combined with inadequate physical activity.
Obesity is a health risk for the development of diabetes and heart disease, and is even considered a risk factor for cancer.
But is it just the disparity between calorie intake and expenditure?
Recent genetic research points to genetically predisposed obesity. The expression of inherited traits depends on environmental factors. Therefore, a sedentary lifestyle and excessive intake of food rich in fats and carbohydrates will certainly contribute to the expression of genetic predisposition.
Until now, the following elements were emphasized in the treatment of obesity:
This pattern is incomplete and inadequate and will eventually be completely abandoned.
Genetic research indicates subtle metabolic disorders. We cannot influence the genetic code, but we can adapt to it.
If you have had a problem with increased body weight from early youth or childhood, and one or both of your parents are obese, there is a high likelihood that obesity is part of your genetic code.
Obesity is a complex health issue caused by the following factors:
While we cannot correct genetic inheritance, we can adjust our diet and lifestyle habits to accommodate the needs of our body.
Quantum medicine, i.e., BICOM bioresonance therapy, takes a comprehensive approach to the treatment of obesity.
Treatment includes:
Factors contributing to obesity:
Age
With age, metabolic processes slow down, and the body requires fewer calories to maintain body weight. This is why maintaining the same caloric intake and activity level as at 20 years old will lead to weight gain at 40.
Psychological factors
Certain psychological factors negatively affect dietary habits. Many people turn to food in response to negative emotions such as boredom, sadness, depression, or anger.
Microbiota
Digestive organ diseases that disrupt the healthy balance of gut flora are a risk factor for obesity.
Diseases
Indeed, there are diseases that contribute to obesity. These include hormonal disorders such as hypothyroidism (reduced thyroid gland function), depression, and some rare central nervous system diseases.
Genetics
There is a strong link between genetic predisposition and the manifestation of obesity. If the mother is obese, the child has a 75% “chance” of being obese. However, despite the genetic burden, environmental influence is crucial. Lifestyle is decisive in maintaining normal body weight.
Gender
Women are more prone to obesity than men. A woman’s basal metabolism (resting metabolism) requires fewer calories than a man’s. The difference is particularly pronounced after menopause.
Physical activity
It is believed that the increase in obesity over the past 20 years is largely due to reduced levels of physical activity. Modern lifestyles cause a higher intake than calorie expenditure on a daily basis. Physical activity reduces appetite in obese individuals, mildly affects blood pressure reduction, and increases the body’s ability to primarily use fat metabolism as an energy source.
Obesity carries the risk of developing:
STROKE
Increased blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and triglycerides, which are often found in obese individuals, are factors that accelerate the process of atherosclerosis and pose a risk for the development of stroke.
HEART DISEASES
Angina pectoris, heart attack, sudden cardiac arrest, heart failure…
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
TYPE 2 DIABETES
Over 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are obese, hence the modern term “diabesity,” which denotes the close connection between obesity or insulin resistance and diabetes.
CANCER
Obesity is associated with a higher incidence of certain cancers, such as endometrial, colorectal, gallbladder, prostate, kidney, and post-menopausal breast cancer.
ARTHRITIS
Musculoskeletal disorders are more prevalent in obese individuals, particularly spondylosis of the spinal column and arthrosis of large joints.
Bioresonance therapy operates in a UNIFIED AND INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH to all factors that can be influenced.
