Obesity is a common threat which we are facing in our society. Due to our fast pace lifestyle and junk food habits we are becoming more prone to obesity and diseases like high blood pressure and high sugar level in blood. These diseases are the cause for many other diseases of heart, liver, kidney and pancreas.

There is a common belief, that people gain weight for their eating habits, however, the recent researches have proved that it is not the food habits but the nervous system which is highly responsible for weight gain in human body.

Fat levels in the body are influenced highly by the levels of Serotonin in the nervous system. This is a monoamine neurotransmitter found in gastrointestinal tract. Most of the Serotonin in human body is found in the enterochromaffin cells. The chemical controls several functions in the human body like controlling the mood and appetite.

According to the latest theories, the Serotonin regulates the appetite for having fatty and junk food which in turn accumulates fat in the body which is the cause for weight gain. So if we can control the chemical in the body then we can surely control the weight gain. The scientists and doctors all around the world are working on it and there are researches going on for the medication which will have nil side effects on the body while helping to loose us some extra weights.

Chocolates, soft drinks, fatty meat, fried food, cheese and butter, sweets and candies are the main culprits which are responsible for weight gain. Eliminating these food products from your daily diet will not only keep you healthy but also will stop your body from putting up more weight.
