A person is said to be obese when their BMI (Body Mass Index) is greater than 30. Experts, after a lot of research, say many forms of obesity are associated with genes. These genes can be passed on from parent to offspring and can lead to what we call “Hereditary Obesity”.
You might be asking yourself “If it’s in my genes how can I prevent it?” the answer is; although different people inherit these “obesity genes” your environment and lifestyle also determines how and if most of these genes are expressed. This means that although most members of your family are obese, you can actually prevent yourself from getting obese.
Steps to preventing Hereditary Obesity include:-

1. Remember Heredity is Not Destiny

The first step towards success in anything is a positive attitude. The popular saying “if you believe it, you can do it” is actually true even in the prevention of Hereditary Obesity. The first step to preventing manifestation of hereditary Obesity is actually beginning to believe that you can prevent it because it’s a very realistic possibility.

2. Eat Healthy

Eating healthy is advisable for everyone but especially important for people predisposed to hereditary obesity. Experts say that some of the “obesity genes” get activated by fried foods. Therefore say goodbye to those unhealthy snacks and food and incorporate healthier foods like fruits, vegetables, steamed foods into your daily meals.

3. Exercise regularly

Exercising is an important step in preventing hereditary obesity because you want to make sure your body is in its best possible state at all times. Get involved in a regular exercise regimen. Let it be something you enjoy; swimming, dancing, running, brisk walks or any physical activity at all. This way, if for some reason you add some excess weight, beginning to lose it won’t be too much of a struggle.

4. Avoid Excessive Stress

Studies have shown that people predisposed to Obesity are prone to gaining weight in times of stress. This might be because they are also most likely to be stress eaters or because of some yet discovered underlying issue. Therefore, watching and controlling your stress levels is an important step in preventing the expression of Hereditary Obesity.

In conclusion, every time you climb that scale and it looks as though you are still adding weight excessively, don’t give up. Keep believing, keep exercising, keep eating healthy and keep working hard. Your body is beautiful and you alone can transport it into its best possible state.
Always remember, consistency is the key.

Obesity is the condition of having a body weight that is greater than what is considered normal for a healthy living. This occurs when there is excess accumulation of fat in the body. It is a condition that arises majorly from the kind and quantity of foods taken in, and sometimes due to a lack of exercise. It could also be accompanied by certain health complications.

People with this condition are prone to several health risks and go through some tough social situations such as getting bullied or ostracized.

We’ll be sharing below, some common challenges faced by these people:

1. Clothing

Finding the right clothing that suits, can be a very difficult task for those that are overweight. While shopping, having to try different clothes on can be really frustrating, and some obese people end up needing to have specially-made clothes.

2. Right shoes

When it comes to the kind of shoe to wear to match a particular cloth, those with overweight might have a number of issues with it, especially females. A pair of fine shoe in the boutique might end up being a pain in their toes after few hours of use. This is due to the extra fleshes around the foot that won’t give the shoe a stable and convenient position, thereby, causing it to dig into the skin.

3. Low self-esteem

This is very common in a larger percentage of those concerned with overweight.Getting stared at by different people, all the time is certainly not an easy thing to deal with. Sometimes this may lead to a low self-esteem; and may make such people think a little less of themselves.

4. Depression

Following low self-esteem, is depression. Not all that are overweight are happy about their physical state. In fact, a larger percentage wish they were slimmer, and they keep wishing, every single time they remember how much they weigh. The thought of just their size, is enough to cause depression, let alone the thought of how much bully they get every single day they step out to explore the world. It gives them mental stress and causes them to be depressed.

5. Skin folds

In relation to the hygiene, the skin are open to fungal infections and wrinkles. It can cause stretch marks and disrupt the beauty of the skin, in some cases.

Conclusion

Overweight is now more rampant than before and challenging situations—that aren’t too comfortable—keeps coming with it. This condition can also increase the risk of several health complications and should be taken care of as soon as possible.
