Why we're fatter
Five reasons we usually don't think of that contribute to obesity:
Inadequate sleep: causes a decrease in leptin, which boosts appetite and produces obesity, and increases ghrelin, a potent stimulator of hunger and appetite.Read this article for more detailed explanations.
Chemical contamination: The water, soil, and food to which we are exposed increasingly are contaminated with chemicals... that accumulate in the body and mimic or interfere with hormones that regulate body functions.
Heating and air-conditioning: Living in an environment that is excessively cold or warm forces the body to expend calories...
Smoking cessation: Smoking also kills appetite
Medications: Most of the medications frequently prescribed to moderate moods and depression or treat other mental illness... promote weight gain.
