What is obesity? Is obesity a disease?
December 7, 2022If you continue to gain weight even though you pay attention to your diet and exercise, watch out! You may be experiencing other health problems.Although there is no difference in your eating habits, if you are getting fat day by day and you cannot get rid of your weight, there may be serious health problems behind this situation.Here are some surprising and possible reasons for your weight gain that you might miss.
- Poor quality sleep: If you are not getting enough sleep and rest, it is inevitable that you will gain weight. Because when you sit up late, your hormone level changes, your appetite increases and night snacks may become inevitable.
- Stress: Cortisol, the stress hormone, causes an increase in appetite. This may cause you to tend to consume high-calorie foods during stressful times.
- Antidepressants: One of the most unfortunate side effects of some antidepressants is weight gain. If you think that the antidepressant you are using is causing you to gain weight, be sure to talk to your doctor about making changes in your treatment plan. Also, remember that depression itself can cause weight changes.
- Steroids: Some steroid anti-inflammatory drugs have a bad reputation for weight gain. Because these types of drugs can cause your appetite to increase as well as fluid retention.
- Birth control pills: Although birth control pills are known as the cause of weight gain, contrary to popular belief, this effect is short-term. If you continue to have weight problems in the long term, consult your doctor.
- Hypothyroidism: Thyroid diseases can cause weight gain by slowing down your metabolism. If you have a persistent tiredness and weight gain even though you pay attention to your diet and exercise, you should definitely consult your doctor for your thyroid control.
- Menopause: Although many women claim to gain weight after entering menopause, menopause is not the only reason for weight gain. Aging also slows down metabolism; Thus, fewer calories are consumed. However, remember that the required weight for each age is calculated separately. As you get older, trying to be at your youthful weight lowers your immunity.
- Cushing's Syndrome: One of the important causes of weight gain is Cushing's syndrome. The use of cortisol for rheumatological diseases such as asthma, arthritis or lupus can cause Cushing's syndrome. In Cushing's Syndrome, weight may be more prominent around the face, neck, upper back, or waist.
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a common hormonal problem in women of childbearing age. Most women with this syndrome have multiple small cysts growing on their ovaries. This situation affects the menstrual cycle; It causes hormone imbalances, excessive hair growth and acne. Insulin resistance is very common in women with this condition. The fat around the abdomen, which carries a greater risk for severe heart disease, is higher in these people.
- Quitting Smoking: People who quit smoking gain about 10 kilos. This is not because they actually quit smoking; They try to meet their nicotine needs with food. When they quit smoking, they feel that they are more hungry and they turn to foods with high carbohydrate and fat content.
- Going on a low-calorie diet too often: If you are eating with energy and nutrients far below your needs, this will lower your basal metabolic rate. Therefore, you can have a body that does not eat but gains weight easily.
Attention should be paid to drugs and chemicals, they can cause excess weight
Long-term or unnecessary use of antidepressants and antibiotics, which are used for the treatment of various diseases in the community, can cause weight gain. Again, air pollution is one of the environmentally harmful chemicals that prevent hormones from working effectively.
Psychological reasons affect weight control
Foods are accepted by the body not only as a nutrient but also as an element of pleasure and satisfaction. Conditions such as stress and depression can cause weight gain by overeating or losing weight by not eating anything. It is a problem to sleep less at night and increase snacks during the period of psychological problems.
Sleep is very important
Hormones that promote the growth of cells in the body are secreted in relation to light and darkness. For this, the principle of sleeping and getting up on time is vital. Care should be taken to ensure complete darkness in the sleeping environment. As the eating behavior changes, the energy storage and use equation in all cells is also disrupted.
Had hair transplant with Gozde hospital. Everything was in order. The hospital and the hotel were way above average. Good value for the price. Recommended.
Flew from Glasgow to Izmir for the operation. They picked me up from the airport. Immediately headed to the hotel to spend the night and rest before the operation very next morning. When I first stepped in to the hospital, I instantly realised that I made the right choice. The hospital was so perfect that I have never been in a hospital like that before. Had my breast augmentation surgery just a week ago, almost completely healed and my breasts are just amazing. I can't stop looking at them in the mirror. I would like to thank to my coordinator, lovely nurses, and the surgeon. 5 star experience from start to finish
After my terrible experince in Dominican republic, I was bit afraid and reluctant having another surgery abroad. Months of research, planning and long conversations with my surgeon, finally felt confident with Gozde hospitals. My main concern was communication. Due to lack of communcation my nose shape was not like I requested at all. Left with a huge bump at the tip of my nose. Thankfully I was able to have video call consultations on Zoom with my surgeon at Gozde hospital. He eased all the hesitation and I felt like we are on the same page. I only had one chance with this surgery because the secondary surgeries are harder than the first one. It has been just 3 weeks for now but I love the shape of my nose, it is good to be feel confident again after all those years
Having a big family was always my dream and I can say that I fulfilled that dream. But after my 4th child, my body was not representing my age at all. Even though I am in my 40's my tummy and breasts were sagging like I am in my 60's. The frustration was great and I was afraid of mirrors. Never went to swimming with my children. I was insecure about my appearance and decided to change that. Kusadasi is our favourite spot for holiday every year, but this year I contacted Gozde hospitals for my surgery. They even arranged a transfer from Kusadasi to Izmir for my operation. The surgery took around 3 hours but after that everything was perfect. I am not ashamed of wearing dresses or going to the beach with my children anymore. Started enjoying my life again. Thank you for everything! Especially the medical team and my surgeon.
Starting from my 20's, my hair has been receding. Used many products, shampoos, lotions, essential oils but none of them has stopped the receding. I almost gave up and ready to embrace the truth that I am a bald man. One day I stumbled upon Gozde hospital on Whatclinic. I left an inquiry but my expectations were not great at all. I reluctantly reply them, thinking it will not work as well. Then a magical moment happened, I went through their before and after photos, could not believe my eyes. I have arranged my operation for the following week. Now, I am at 4th month. Growing slow but I can see the follicules I have not seen for years. I can't wait to reach the final results!
I had my tummy tuck surgery at Gozde Hospital around a month ago. I am completely healed and in perfect shape. I had been working out for months to get rid of my stubborn belly fat with excess skin but no success. I wish I could have contacted them earlier. I had my doubts about travelling Turkey for a surgery, but all my hesitation has gone after contacting Gozde International. The hospital is one of the best I have ever seen. Top notch, state of the art. Highly recommended! Xo
Had my face and necklift operation with Gozde International hospitals recently. Everything went smootly. I am still in healing process but I feel a lot better. I enjoying spending time looking myself in the mirrors. It was a bit dissappointing to see yourself aging slowly everyday. I always thought that I will not be able to fight with that. Eventually time will take over everything but I'd say I have my 15 years back.
Great experience from start to finish. Clean and nice hotel, perfect hospital. Actually the best part is the hospital experience. Everyone speaks English, also very close to the city center just in case of anything. Atms, restaurants, pharmacies nearby. My expectations were exceeded. Definetely recommended.
I can’t begin to explain how good the whole experience was. The service, communication was excellent. I managed to book my surgery a week after my first call. Just imagine having an operation one week after your first call in UK. Waiting list goes on and on. Everything was planned surprisingly fast. Packed my bags and got here. Picked up from the airport with a VIP car, I felt like I was the queen of England. The hotel was cozy and clean. Room service was excellent. The hospital is the main reason I choose Gozde, and I am glad that I did. Never have I seen such perfect hospital in my life. The staff, equipment, the hospital rooms...Safe to say that those hospital rooms are far better than many 5* hotel rooms. I wish I could have taken few photos to add to my review. I guess it can be fine on their website. My overall experience was defintely perfect, 5-stars, 10 out of 10. I have already recommended this hospital to everyone I know
