The most common cause of weight gain is consuming too much fat and not doing enough exercise to burn off the excess calories. What typically leads us to gain weight and become obese are imbalances in the mind and body:
* Physical Imbalance: stored toxins in our digestive tract can drain our energy and cause us to eat stimulating foods such as sugar that can lead to weight gain.
* Nutritional Imbalance: eating foods that don't provide the body with the essential nutrients that it needs to function optimally.
* Mental and Emotional Imbalance: indulging in excess food is often used to overcome uncomfortable feelings in our daily lives, such as stress and anxiety.
By correcting these imbalances, researchers believe that we can naturally make better food choices that can prevent us from gaining weight. Unfortunately, most methods of losing weight include the use of drugs or surgery that decrease our appetite, block fat absorption, or reduce the volume of our stomach. However, all of these treatments can have serious side-effects. Fortunately a set of simple home remedies and natural foods can help us achieve this balance and even promote weight loss, without the negative side effects.
Other less common reasons for weight gain include the following:
* A genetic predisposition to store excess calories as fat.
* Dieting, which slows our metabolism since the body thinks it is starving, causing us to easily gain weight when we begin eating again.
* Medications, such as birth control pills or anti-depressants, are known to cause weight gain.
* Fluid retention, which can be caused by heart, liver, or kidney disease. This sort of weight gain requires the attention of a doctor.
