Not Only Serves Food, 5 Other Factors Affect Weight This Also you

Increased weight problems has always been associated with diet, especially in the selection menu and the portions of food consumed. But it turns out that there are factors other things that also have a big impact. Therefore do not be surprised if you are already improving diet weight but not too down,
it could be another factor is the culprit. So what you need to consider if you want to lose weight? Here's the list, as has been summarized detikHealth from various sources on Wednesday (11/03/2015):

1. Substance artificial additives

Research conducted by Georgia State University found evidence that artificial preservatives used in processed foods associated with metabolic problems, such as glucose intolerance and obesity.
Scientists believe that the impact of too many foods with additional additives associated with changes in intestinal bacteria. When chemicals break up the mucus that coats and protects the gut, unhealthy bacteria come into contact with the intestinal cells and can trigger inflammation. In the end, these conditions lead to changes in metabolism. It's good you are now beginning to carefully choose the ingredients of food or snack. Although apparently healthy, but if in the list of written composition containing additives such as preservatives or dyes extra, then in the long run it will affect health negatively.

2. Shift work

Researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder found that people who work the night shift burn fewer calories during a 24-hour period than those who work with normal working hours. This pattern differences can lead to weight gain, even without an increase in calories. In other words, when you 'interfere' circadian rhythms of the body, your diet could be exaggerated due to a slowing metabolism. This is related to the regulation of the body clock, intestinal bacteria, and metabolism.

3. Constantly criticized

Who says mocking someone will have no effect anything on his body? Researchers from University College London found that people who experience discrimination or often ridiculed due to their weight, even more risky to continue to gain weight. Moreover, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of California Santa Barbara, advertising weight loss program could potentially backfire on teens who become the main target of the campaign program of healthy living that way. "In general, there is a stigma that ad where obese people closely with the characteristics of fat, lazy, weak, and contribute to increasing health care costs," said one of the study's authors, Jeffrey Hunger. He and his team found that the stigma on fat people actually make the advertising consumers respond with actions that can contribute to gain weight. For example, in women who were observed, they can eat more junk food when presented with ads obese people who eat foods high in calories.

4. Exposure to environmental chemicals

Studies University of New Hampshire found that chemicals found in the environment, including furniture, rugs, to an electronic device triggers metabolic and heart problems that can cause insulin resistance, which is the main cause of obesity. In his research, when compared with the control group, mice were exposed to these chemicals undergo dramatic physiological changes. In just one month, the levels of the enzyme responsible for the metabolism of sugar and fat in the body down nearly 50 percent.

5. Genetics

Recent research shows that the type of bacteria that live in your digestive system is also influenced by genetics. It is considered as an important discovery because intestinal bacteria are closely related to weight control. Scientists at King's College London found that identical twins have the same number of certain types of intestinal bacteria, compared with non-identical twins. This suggests that the gene strongly influence the bacteria, because identical twins share 100 percent of their genes, while non-identical twins share about 50 percent of their genes. You simply can not change your genes, but there is some research that says that good intestinal bacteria can be changed. The strategy, avoid artificial and processed foods. Increase consumption of whole and natural foods such as vegetables, fruits, grains, beans and lentils.
