Why are people getting fatter? Two hundred years ago, the French told you

Obesity is first determined by a person's natural constitution. It can be said that everyone can be infected with a certain disease, and we can find clues from people's faces. Most of those who died from exhaustion had brown hair, long faces and pointed noses.

In fact, some people's digestion and absorption determine that they are inevitably obese because the fat they produce is different from that of ordinary people. I never doubted it, and that's why I was so discouraged. At a social evening, everyone will be fascinated by the young, beautiful and energetic lady with a straight nose, a plump figure and soft skin.

But I won’t be like that, because through these, I see what she will look like twelve years later. By then, she will no longer be radiant due to obesity, but will be suffering from constant illness. This is all from my experience, and to be honest, I feel really sad for her. So it makes sense that people say "knowing the future will only make you sadder."

Secondly, the cause of obesity is that people get nutrition from flour and starchy foods every day. As mentioned earlier, no matter what kind of animal it is, eating starchy foods will make them fat, even if they don't want to, but in the face of facts, everyone is equal.

When starch and sugar are combined, it is more likely to cause obesity because both sugar and fat are extremely rich in the flammable element hydrogen. Not only that, because food tastes better after starch and sugar are combined, people's appetite becomes bigger and they are more likely to gain weight. In order to suppress appetite, people choose to eat desserts after finishing the main meal.

The starch content in beer-like beverages cannot be underestimated, as it is also a major cause of obesity. In countries that love to drink beer, big bellies are everywhere. In 1817, due to the economic downturn, many Parisians chose to drink beer, which eventually caused many people's appetites to increase and they could not return to their previous state.

Too much sleep and too little exercise are also key factors in causing obesity

When sleeping, because muscles are not moving, people require more energy than they consume in the same period of time. However, people can only consume excess calories in the body through exercise, but the sleep time and exercise time are not equal, and people spend more time sleeping.

Furthermore, if people sleep too long, they will become lazy about calorie-burning exercises, so the excess nutrients absorbed will circulate in the body. Under the action of physiological processes, the excess hydrogen will be converted into fat and reside in the cell membranes.

Overeating is the final factor that causes obesity. We have said before that humans are special because they can eat and drink as much as they want even without feeling hungry or thirsty, something other animals cannot do. That is why human beings enjoy the joy of banquets and want to continue the joy of banquets.

We can think about their thinking in two ways. In the first place, it is well known that savages are irresistible to food. On the other hand, as civilized people living in this new world, we actually get a lot of nutrition. Of course I have excluded the few who have become out of touch with the world due to greed and inaction.

All a greedy person thinks about is how to make more money, while a person who does nothing will only be depressed about his future all day long. I believe what I said is right, and the main object of my theory is those relatives and friends who often treat each other. They may continue to eat and drink even if they are full because the food is too delicious or it is the first time they drink a certain kind of wine. Some of these people enjoy delicious food every day, while others enjoy it once a week at a dinner party, but no matter which type of person they are, they overeat every time.

Everyone's physique is different, so the effects of eating and drinking too much are also different. For people with poor stomachs, it does not cause obesity but indigestion.
