There is a mystery behind, why Obese people crave for more food, know why it happens

Have you ever wondered why obese people crave more for food? A new study reveals that food craving activates different brain networks between obese patients, indicating that the tendency to want food may be hard-wired into their brain. Researchers from the European College of Neuro-psycho-pharmacology have suggested that the brain mechanisms underlying obesity might be similar to those in substance addiction, and that treatment methodologies may be approached in the same way as other substance addictions such as alcohol or drug addiction. According to sources, researchers said that there is an ongoing controversy over whether obesity can be called a food addiction, but in fact there is very little research which shows whether or not this might be true. They added that the findings of their study support the idea that the reward processing following food stimuli in obesity is associated with neural changes similar to those found in substance addiction. So, seems like it is not only heart you reach to, from one’s stomach but brain too.

However, you should make an effort to cut down on the fat as it can affect your health in a number of ways:

Causes your heart to malfunction:

We all know that the heart is susceptible to blockages and atherosclerosis. But do you know that fat has a huge role to play in the way your heart functions, the thickness of the muscles and its overall efficiency? When a person is obese, the fat present in the body, especially the fat around the belly, puts great pressure on the internal organs of a person. This fat pushes on the organs and pushes the diaphragm (a sheath that is present at the bottom on the lungs) upwards into the chest. This in turn puts pressure on the heart, literally pressing down on it.

Makes your lungs overwork and can make you dizzy:

The excess weight that the body has to carry makes your heart beat faster and your lungs overwork. With less space to expand it is no wonder that some obese people feel dizzy after working – their body does not get enough oxygen.

Does not let you get sleep:

Another severe side-effect is obstructive sleep apnoea. This condition is brought about by the presence of excessive belly fat as well as the fat in and around the soft tissue of the neck. The fat in the belly presses down on the diaphragm, compressing the lungs and the fat around the neck presses down on the airway (windpipe) making it difficult to breath in a lying position.
