Obesity Affects the Brain: The problem of obesity is increasing day by day. Many ways are being adopted to control obesity, but people are still unable to control it. Nowadays, our diet has become such that people are getting attracted to it, which is affecting their health. Our physical activity has also decreased. Due to these reasons, Indians are becoming victims of obesity. Obesity does not come alone; it brings many diseases with it, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, hormonal imbalance, and heart disease. The impact of obesity can also be seen on mental health.
Studies have shown that if you are suffering from belly fat, it can harm your brain. The reason is that if a person's height is 5 feet 10 inches or more and their waist measurement is more than 36 inches, it is a warning sign. It is said that your waist measurement should be less than half of your height. Therefore, as the fat on your stomach increases, the risk of diseases also increases.
Research suggests that this affects the size of the brain. The size of your brain determines its fitness and function. When the layers of fat on your body increase, it can reduce the grey matter in the brain, which can shrink the brain. This can affect your memory, and conditions like dementia can occur.
The World Health Organization says that patients with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) are more likely to gain weight. When the brain gets entangled, obesity can increase.
