Overall Weight Gain

:: Why it happens

Usually around the ages of 12 to 18, women will start to show early signs of weight problems. Lack of exercise, overeating (too much fatty and oily foods) and a lack of digestion can cause your metabolic rate to slow down, thus resulting in apparent weight problems. In more serious cases, you may even put on 10kg or more every year. Most women who are generally overweight actually start developing weight problems as a kid. This is when the fat distribution beneath the skin is uneven, causing the fat cells to clump together, thus resulting in an overweight condition.
Factors leading to weight gain include heredity, eating too much and not exercising enough, bad digestion as well as a slow metabolic rate.

:: Characteristics

Fat cells are enlarged and plenty and tend to deposit themselves all over the body; predominantly concentrating in the lower part of the body.
People who are overweight will have an astounding amount of 1500 to 3000 million fat cells deposited all over their bodies, whereas normal people only have 250 to 300 million.
Being generally overweight can mean that there is an accumulation of fat cells in areas such as the tummy, waist, back, buttocks, arms, thighs and face.

:: Aftereffects

Resolving this sort of fat problem can be quite a challenging and arduous task. In addition, there are several ailments related to being grossly overweight; the health risks can be relatively high.
The 20s are said to be the peak period for losing weight. If you undergo treatment at this time, you'll be able to lose the excess weight completely, regaining your figure.

If you're in your 30s, you might put on a heaving 30kgs more than the usual amount and this can also result in stubborn fats. Not seeking the appropriate treatment can also affect your chances at giving birth. On the other hand, being overweight can be damaging on your confidence and may even cause depression to set in.

By the time you're in your 40s or 50s, stubborn fat would have deposited themselves in all areas of your body. This can be the start of a permanent weight problem.

Not only will you be able to restore your slim and youthful figure, you'll also feel a lot younger and more energetic.
