Obesity genes are often passed down from generation to generation, however recent studies show that physical activity can greatly reduce the effects of these fat promoting genes.
Research shows that people carrying certain variations of the "fat" gene, otherwise know as the FTO gene, were more likely to be overweight. FTO genes are associated with a higher body mass index (BMI), a higher body fat percentage, and a larger waist.
In a European study, 20,000 people ages 39-79 had their lifestyle relative to obesity genes studied. The FTO variants were studied along with their overall physical activity over time. Research showed that the ones who exercised more were less susceptible developing a greater BMI.
Every copy of an FTO gene brings an average of 3 additional pounds. Those who carry 2 copies can expect a whopping 6 extra pounds more than those with no copies. Most people only carry one copy of this gene, but evidence still shows that an active lifestyle can reduce the obesity risk associated with it.
Physical activity is important to combating obesity in genetically susceptible people, and it is proven to be effective at reducing the effects of a greater BMI.
It is really hard to start something without having any determination. Losing weight takes time, it will not just happen in an instant but someone told me about the a Formula that has a gastric bypass effect by Roca Labs, if that is effective, I really would like to thank God giving us the best solution to address the increasing numbers of obese people like me.Any inputs about it?
