INSERM short film: obesity and intestinal flora
If now youth rhymes with obesity, it is no coincidence. The lifestyle of young people aged 10 to 35 has changed over the years.
Food, genetic predispositions, psychological factors or even environmental causes such as pollution would seem to be some of the actors of overweight and obesity. But they are not the only ones…
Clarification with a new INSERM video (available in the article) published recently.
When youth rhymes with obesity
Outdoor activities have been replaced by a more sedentary way of life, around a television screen, computers offering many activities and electronic gadgets replacing leisure.
In addition, an unbalanced diet turned to fast foods, nibbling and snacks have only worsened the state of health of each other.
Finally, over the past 15 years, overweight and obesity among young people has continued to increase.
Consequences that would not be insignificant
Overweight or obesity, it doesn’t matter for this evil of the century affecting countless children, adolescents and young adults.
If the bodily and physiological modification is present, the health constraints linked to the state of overweight or obesity are also present.
First, young people will be victims of rheumatological pain, due to the weight accumulating and tiring their joints : elbows, shoulders, knees, ankles… Then the respiratory constraints relating to the lungs and the heart will follow, the body having a greater mass. important to wear, these organs will feel additional fatigue.
And in addition to these constraints, more significant dysfunctions may appear such as diabetes, tumour, cancer (particularly of the breast), depression, etc. This is why a person suffering from obesity or diabetes requires real care.
Act on the body
Although many young people are victims of overweight or obesity, treatment techniques are constantly improving. Consultations with dietitians and nutritionists in order to carry out weight monitoring and to consider dietary modifications or adapt a diet, psychological consultations in order to detect the reasons for weight gain but also processes such as the installation of a gastric band or other similar protocols.
Finally , recently , researchers have opted for an action with the intestine in order to take care of obesity and its complications. Indeed, according to the study carried out, the intestinal flora of people suffering from obesity would be disturbed. This is why this action on the intestinal flora could allow a possible cure for obesity and its complications.
