Grandma was overweight, and my mom and older sister… does this Mean that you never become slim? Well, of course not!
Fat doesn’t exist?
There are, as many as 200 pieces. It’s not only genes obesity and genes that are “associated with obesity”. That is, they can become one of the causes of excess weight. Or may not be – everything depends on you. Studies show that good nutrition and exercise same help as the carriers of these genes and everything else.
The influence of heredity on health in General are often overrated: according to the who, his condition is 50% dependent on lifestyle and only 30% by genetics. The remaining percentages have on the environment and medical assistance.
Have children do not “inherit” overweight parents?
Yes, if one parent is overweight, the likelihood of the completeness of the child – about 50%. If both, then the odds for obesity can reach 80%. That’s just not the fault of genes. The dependence of the weight of the offspring from the weight of mom and dad can be seen even among adopted children.
The fact that the power of the child fully depends on parents. In the family of lifelong food habits.
For example: my mom constantly berates his son for being slow and forces us to eat dinner as quickly as possible. Because of this, the boy all the time overeat because the brain does not have time to signal that the stomach is already full.
Or the classic: “Will you eat a little, will not increase. Hurry up and eat your soup! How could you not want? Soup you need to eat, but the stomach ache!”. And the poor kid gets used to eating even when you do not want.
So it turns out that the whole “hereditary completeness” is the wrong question habits. Get rid of them – get rid of excess weight.
But my friend eats everything and not gain weight. I recover from each candy!
Inherited a slow metabolism is not your fate to be overweight. When researchers examined people with obesity, bad genes found at 62-63% of patients. And excess calories in the diet – 97%! So, in any case, the person gains weight when overeat. And no matter what’s in the genome.
If you spend more energy than you consume, fat burns no genes are unable to prevent this process. Just you have to move more and eat less than your lucky friend.
