Whenever you tell someone they should watch their weight they simply appear by telling not only them but also their parents were fat and they blame their genes causing their excessive fats. Whatever this people claim, actually the real story is most of the time different. What I mean is that, despite according to these people it is a matter of inheritance, in fact the thing which inherited is not the obese genes but the lifestyles. It is directly related to the family customs, when someone says their parents were also fat one can simply infer those parents were having a unhealthy diet and this unhealthy eating habit is the thing what their children inherit.

Moreover, sometimes a bodily disorder may cause obesity such as the gene called FTO. According to a research held in the UK, among more than hundred children no more than five years old, there is a relationship between the obesity and FTO gene. In the experimentation, they fed the children with a decent meal and afterwards the kids were offered cookies. Some of the children ate the cookies while the others even did not touch them. Later on the research scientist discovered that the children who ate the cookies had some types of FTO genes and those were the reason why kids ate the cookies even if they were full. And the risk of being obese is very high for people with FTO genes.

Not much importance was given to obesity until recently but after the scientists found out the fact that obesity also caused different problems like diabetes or heart illnesses. According to the figures given by the WHO – World Health Organization –, there are more than four million obese children throughout the world and the number is increasing step by step. And being obese in the childhood affects the whole adolescence and adult life of the children as they turn out to be people lacking self-confidence and always feeling uncomfortable.
