subject: Build Muscle Lose Fat - Medical Causes Of Obesity [print this page] Obesity can also occur in a patient as a result of hormonal imbalances or glandular malfunction of the associated hormonal glands, irrespective of how hard you have been working at muscle building in your gym. It must however be noted that obesity due to hormonal imbalances is rare, and is observed to be occurring at the rate of only 1% of all cases of obesity, occurring in the world.
One disease that is particularly responsible for a large amount of weight gain, is the Cushing Syndrome. What is worse obesity due to this disease may lead to further complications, such as hypertension or even diabetes. Some brain disorders, such as, tumors and infections in the hypothalamus and also sudden mental trauma could result in drastic overeating or weight gain.If you are a patient of any of these diseases, you will need to build a systematic weight loss and muscle-building program in dual consultation with your doctor and your personal trainer.
A person suffering from hypothyroidism is likely to face a setback in terms of their metabolic rate, thereby resulting in obesity. Some gender based diseases such as those of men suffering from hypogonadism and those of women suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) can also be responsible for high weight gain. However, the advantage of persisting to work out in the gym or with a personal trainer, is that it will set off a lot of your medical ill-health, and really flood your body and mindset with the right chemicals to begin the process of weight loss, recovery, and muscle building much sooner.
Some types of medicines, such as sulfonylareas, which is used to cure diabetes, and medicines used against convulsions, such as valporate, which are used against epilepsy, steroidal contraceptives, antipsychotics, antidepressants and mood stabilizers etc, are responsible for weight gain. Supplementing your medication with weight-training and cardio work outs under the supervision of a professional trainer and doctor, may be costly but will keep you safe from putting on weight, and even help you with achieving muscle definition.
Obesity can also be the result of factors associated with a person's emotions or even a person's environment. For example, eating during depression takes place because food is overeaten, as it is treated like comfort food. For such people, any reason for depression results in a reason for weight gain, and this issue gets even more complicated, with subsequent bouts of depression. Other factors that indirectly contribute to weight gain are dieting, low body image, binge eating etc.If its all about the mindset, you might as well start thinking how weight training, cardio exercises, balanced diet, and sufficient rest is rewarding you every moment with a more desirable and muscular body and helping you to stay in demand in the social circles.
Overeating is one of the number one causes of obesity in the modern day world. If you intake more number of calories than what you actually expend on a day-after-day basis, then all that excess ready-to-use energy gets converted into energy-stored-for-future-use, which is fats. If you work out sufficiently and stay physically active through out the day, it will help you expend all of that excess energy, so that your muscles really start showing up.
