Why Does Weight Gain Occur?

The main cause of overweight and obesity is an increase in the size and number of fat cells. The body contains three types of fat tissue: white, brown, and yellow, with yellow fat being an intermediate type between white and brown fat. These fat tissues accumulate in various areas of the body, with their distribution being influenced by factors like age.

Many people find it challenging to balance the energy they consume with the energy they expend. When a person consumes more calories than they burn over time, the excess fat is stored, leading to weight gain.

Several factors can contribute to weight gain: • Lack of physical activity • Genetic factors • Poor diet • Stress • Insufficient sleep • Age • Hypothyroidism • Metabolic disorders

Before beginning a weight management plan, it’s essential to have a doctor assess the underlying causes of your weight gain. A personalized approach that includes tailored treatment, a healthy lifestyle, rejuvenating procedures, and your commitment will help you successfully achieve your weight goals.
