7Obesity is A Real Disease
Many people get the wrong impression when they see an overweight person; the misconception is that any obese person overeats and leads a sedentary lifestyle – this is wrong. What happens is that when you start gaining weight, it gets to a point where the nerves that send signals from the fat cells to the rest of the brain will be affected; when this happens, it becomes easy to overeat because the brain will not be able to decode that a person is full. Additionally, when one becomes overweight, the body will produce hormones that will increase fat storage, thereby, making obesity into a medical condition.[7]
