10Causes of Obesity
Many people think obesity merely is caused by laziness and an unhealthy diet, but in reality, there is more to obesity than just lifestyle and diet. Although weight gain can be as a result of an inactive lifestyle and an unhealthy diet, there are underlying factors that affect the way we eat and live. Some of the underlying causes of obesity are discussed below.
Genetics
If you have overweight or obese parents, then you are more susceptible to be overweight or obese than someone whose parents aren’t obese. It doesn’t mean that once you have obese parents, you are going to become obese; with healthy eating and regular exercise, you can avoid becoming overweight or obese. [9]
