Why does the face get fatter first when you get fat?

Many people gain weight without realizing it. In fact, there are many reasons for gaining weight. Endocrine disorders or other factors can cause us to gain weight. So why does the face get fat first? Let’s take a look today!

Why does the face get fatter first?

First of all, it is true that fat people get fatter in the face first, but it is related to personal physique. Fat tends to accumulate in a certain part, but this phenomenon rarely occurs. The reason why the phenomenon of "fat people get fatter in the face first" exists is more of an illusion. We usually pay too much attention to our face, or have wide facial bones, obesity, etc., which makes us feel that our face is fat. In addition, loose and sagging facial skin can also give the illusion of a big face.

The most likely period of life to gain weight

1. The newlywed period

The latest research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States shows that the chances of obesity for married couples increase, and the longer the marriage, the higher the chance of obesity. Nutritionists believe that newlyweds spend more time together, lack the opportunity to exercise, have the same lifestyle habits, and no longer focus on personal image, which may lead to weight gain.

2. After the diet stops

For some people, dieting does not have a lasting effect on weight loss. After stopping dieting, the body may even gain weight more easily than before. This requires a balanced, stable and scientific eating habit to control. The reason is that after stopping dieting, the metabolic rate decreases by 10%. Even adding a small amount of food will cause calories to accumulate and rebound.

3. New job pressure

When you are faced with a new job, you often feel great pressure and need to put in a lot of energy. It is easy to change the good habits you have developed. Overwork, lack of sleep, irregular life, etc. will cause hunger and increase appetite. Work stress will also affect the neuroendocrine system, such as causing an increase in the stress hormone cortisol, which makes people prone to weight gain.

4. Postpartum obesity

During pregnancy, women gain weight due to lack of exercise and overnutrition, and their bodies become seriously distorted and bloated. After giving birth, most of the time is spent taking care of children, and there is no time for scientific weight loss and recovery. Generally, it is impossible to lose weight quickly, especially in the waist and abdomen. People who do not have good living habits should develop healthy eating and exercise habits at this time.

5. After quitting smoking

Some people will gain a lot of weight after quitting smoking. This is because nicotine and other substances have the ability to inhibit the hunger center in the human brain, making it less likely to feel hungry. Eating less means taking in less calories, and the body is less likely to gain weight. The most obvious change after quitting smoking is a surge in appetite. You must control your diet and consume less high-calorie foods.

Fortunately, there are many ways to lose weight now. If your weight is "out of control", ultrasonic lipolysis and even liposuction are fast and effective ways to lose weight.

Does insomnia cause weight gain?

Insomnia is likely to cause weight gain. Because many people may not know that when people sleep, they secrete something called "leptin" which can help us inhibit fat accumulation. Insomnia will affect the secretion of "leptin". In addition, insomnia can easily make people feel hungry and cause weight gain. Let's take a closer look.

Constitutional obesity is caused by a high number of fat cells.

In recent years, studies have found that from the 30th week of the fetal period to one year after birth, human fat cells have an extremely active proliferation period. During this period, if there is excess nutrition, the number of fat cells will increase. After that, the number of fat cells will not increase, but they can hypertrophy and gain weight, and they can shrink when losing weight.

In addition, physical obesity is also related to heredity. Statistics show that the obesity rate of children whose parents are both obese is as high as 87%, and the obesity rate of children whose one parent is obese is 50%. However, only 10% of children of parents with normal weight become obese. This type of obesity is less common in teenagers because they love to be active and exercise a lot. In addition, they need to grow and develop, so most of the food they eat is used to generate calories and supply growth.

But after middle age, metabolism slows down and activity decreases, so people with this physique begin to gain weight.
