A new study suggests
These are not your eating habits but your nerves that may play a pivotal role to make you thin or fat, a new research suggests.
Feeding and fat are influenced by the serotonin levels in the nervous system, a study on worms confirms. According to the study, Serotonin which is a neurotransmitter also influences the eating habits and consumed calories in the body.
According to Kaveh Ashrafi, of the University of California, San Francisco, “Nervous system is a key controller that brings together all energy related procedures via specific molecular passages.”
Ashrafi further adds that these given serotonin’s old evolutionary origins can be applied that’s known from the worms to hums.

Role of non genetic factors
Before commenting on the role of genetics in obesity, one must keep in mind that only a small percentage of children carry genetic defects for obesity and the factors other than genetic play a key role in making a child obese. Unfortunately, most of the people don’t realize the bad influence of these factors and keep emphasizing upon the genetic factors responsible for childhood obesity.
One of the many none-genetic causes of obesity in childhood is the imbalance between the input energy (food) and the output energy (exercise). The children who keep on taking nutrients at irregular intervals without utilizing or consuming the input energy in some physical or mechanical work get bulky in short period of time. This fact is not confined only to younger children but is applicable to all age-groups as well. Whenever your input is greater than your output, you get over weight and vice versa.

It is the difference of using internal and external cues that makes huge difference between the health status of the Americans and the French.
French are habitual of using the internal cues and that is why they do not feel hungry for a longer time. It helps them stop eating more frequently. On the contrary, the Americans are dependent on external cues. Their plates must be neat and clean. The stock of beverages should never go out. Their favorite TV show should not be over. Americans generally need adverse conditions, just opposite to these, to stop eating more.
A recent study conducted by the Scientists at the ‘Cornell University’ has revealed that more weight is directly related to the external cues. A heavy person, either French or American, will rely more on such external cues for stop eating more. These people will never rely upon their feeling as full.

Middle-aged people are generally less active and more overweight compared to any other age group. This increases the level of inactivity in these people.
Gavin Turrell, Assistant Professor at the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, Queensland University of Technology conducted a research study to establish the fact with evidences. This research study aims to find out why the baby boomers are comparatively less physically active.
“Inactivity is one of the main reasons why two-thirds of men and over one half of women in the 45 to 64 age group are overweight or obese,” said Gavin Turrell.

“Childhood-Obesity” increases the probability of premature heart attacks and strokes. Children are growing with obesity and this has become a worldwide concern now. “Childhood-Obesity” is no less than a growing epidemic.
Findings of two successive studies brought out recently reveal that the potential impact of childhood obesity must be viewed with two inter-related perspectives. One of these two studies examined and analyzed the effects of excess weight from childhood to the adulthood. This study evaluated the track records of more than 250,000 youngsters who were examined in the year 1930.
Second study applied latest techniques including digital crystal ball of computer modeling. Findings of this studies resulted in to the predicting that the probability of increase of the deaths due to heart attacks could rise up by 1.9%.This increase in the rate of deaths may have a beginning at an average age of 35 years.
