About one third are considered overweight or obese, indicating the early onset of weight-related health problems that may persist into adulthood.<br>The prevalence of obesity is pronounced among the young, with more than one in six children and adolescents being obese. It is therefore urgent to implement targeted interventions and educational campaigns aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles from an early age.<\/p>\n<h2>Les consequences de l&rsquo;ob\u00e9sit\u00e9 <\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Obesity significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of mortality in the United States for both men and women. It is associated with the development of conditions such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes, which are cardiovascular risk factors.<br>Moreover, obesity is linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancers. According to a recent study, obesity is involved in the etiology of 4 % of cancers in men and 7 % in women, due to the complex interaction of hormonal, inflammatory and metabolic factors associated with excess weight.<br>In summary, the statistics paint a bleak picture regarding obesity and highlight its impact on health. It is clear that obesity is not just an aesthetic issue, but a critical factor significantly influencing the risk of developing diseases.<br>To solve the problem, it is necessary to combine public health actions, awareness programs and lifestyle modifications.<\/p>\n<h2>Causes de l&rsquo;ob\u00e9sit\u00e9 <\/h2>\n<p>Obesity is a pathological condition characterized by excessive fat accumulation resulting from a complex interaction of genetic, environmental, behavioral, and physiological factors. Although obesity has multiple causes, it is widely recognized that a sustained energy imbalance\u2014where caloric intake exceeds energy expenditure\u2014is the primary factor in the development of obesity.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Lack of physical activity<\/strong> : physical activity is essential for caloric expenditure. In its absence, the body does not burn enough calories, leading to an accumulation of body fat. It is crucial to incorporate moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking, into your daily routine also to improve overall health.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Unhealthy eating habits<\/strong> : weight gain is mainly due to an excessive caloric intake compared with energy expenditure. A diet rich in refined carbohydrates, low in fruits and vegetables and characterized by unbalanced meals contributes significantly to the onset of excess weight. Keeping a food journal can help better understand and manage one\u2019s eating habits.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Insufficient sleep<\/strong> : lack of sleep disrupts the hormones that regulate appetite, increasing levels of ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and decreasing levels of leptin (the satiety hormone). This imbalance leads to cravings for very high-calorie foods. Quality sleep, generally between seven and nine hours per night, is essential to maintain hormonal balance and prevent weight gain.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Medications<\/strong> : certain medications can lead to weight gain by altering metabolism or increasing appetite. It is important to consult a doctor to manage these side effects, by adopting a balanced diet and regular physical activity.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Pregnancy<\/strong> : weight gain during pregnancy is normal and necessary for the development of the fetus. However, after childbirth, losing weight can be difficult due to hormonal changes and the demands of caring for a newborn. Appropriate follow-up can be essential to help women manage <a href=\"https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/en\/post-partum\/\">post-partum<\/a> weight.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Pathologies<\/strong> : certain underlying diseases, such as Prader\u2013Willi syndrome or Cushing\u2019s syndrome, can lead to weight gain due to the interaction of genetic and hormonal factors. A complete medical evaluation is necessary to correctly diagnose and treat these conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Weight management strategies <\/h2>\n<p>Fighting obesity requires comprehensive care.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>A balanced diet<\/strong>: rich in fruit, vegetables, fibre, protein and healthy fats.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Regular physical activity<\/strong> : a combination of aerobic exercise, strength training and flexibility work.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Support from those around you<\/strong>: the importance of support from friends and family in maintaining healthy behaviours.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Monitoring food intake<\/strong>: keeping a food diary to improve eating habits.<\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Positive mindset<\/strong> : motivating yourself with visual reminders of the progress made.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Consulting a healthcare professional is strongly recommended for personalised advice and a suitable weight management plan.<\/p>\n<h2>Solutions in aesthetic medicine <\/h2>\n<p>Aesthetic medicine treatments can help you get back into shape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Cryolipolysis, which uses cold to destroy fat cells in a targeted, non-invasive way, helps speed up the loss of localised fat bulges.<br>Body mesotherapy injections are useful for drainage and treating water retention.<br>onda cool-waves and radiofrequency improve skin quality.<br>Hyaluronic acid injections, particularly using the non-surgical facelift technique, treat facial sagging that can be caused by significant weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"763\" height=\"908\" src=\"https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/photo-docteur-romano-valeria.webp\" alt=\"Photo of doctor Valeria Romano in Geneva\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/photo-docteur-romano-valeria.webp 763w, https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/photo-docteur-romano-valeria-252x300.webp 252w, https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/photo-docteur-romano-valeria-10x12.webp 10w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 763px) 100vw, 763px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Article written by <a href=\"https:\/\/drromanovaleria.ch\/en\/\">Dr Romano Valeria<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SHARE THIS ARTICLE ON<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 32H31.9C14.3 32 0 46.5 0 64.3v383.4C0 465.5 14.3 480 31.9 480H416c17.6 0 32-14.5 32-32.3V64.3c0-17.8-14.4-32.3-32-32.3zM135.4 416H69V202.2h66.5V416zm-33.2-243c-21.3 0-38.5-17.3-38.5-38.5S80.9 96 102.2 96c21.2 0 38.5 17.3 38.5 38.5 0 21.3-17.2 38.5-38.5 38.5zm282.1 243h-66.4V312c0-24.8-.5-56.7-34.5-56.7-34.6 0-39.9 27-39.9 54.9V416h-66.4V202.2h63.7v29.2h.9c8.9-16.8 30.6-34.5 62.9-34.5 67.2 0 79.7 44.3 79.7 101.9V416z\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLinkedIn\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"mailto:dr.romano.valeria@gmail.com\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M502.3 190.8c3.9-3.1 9.7-.2 9.7 4.7V400c0 26.5-21.5 48-48 48H48c-26.5 0-48-21.5-48-48V195.6c0-5 5.7-7.8 9.7-4.7 22.4 17.4 52.1 39.5 154.1 113.6 21.1 15.4 56.7 47.8 92.2 47.6 35.7.3 72-32.8 92.3-47.6 102-74.1 131.6-96.3 154-113.7zM256 320c23.2.4 56.6-29.2 73.4-41.4 132.7-96.3 142.8-104.7 173.4-128.7 5.8-4.5 9.2-11.5 9.2-18.9v-19c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48H48C21.5 64 0 85.5 0 112v19c0 7.4 3.4 14.3 9.2 18.9 30.6 23.9 40.7 32.4 173.4 128.7 16.8 12.2 50.2 41.8 73.4 41.4z\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdr.romano.valeria@gmail.com<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"tel:+41%2078%20209%2002%2089\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M497.39 361.8l-112-48a24 24 0 0 0-28 6.9l-49.6 60.6A370.66 370.66 0 0 1 130.6 204.11l60.6-49.6a23.94 23.94 0 0 0 6.9-28l-48-112A24.16 24.16 0 0 0 122.6.61l-104 24A24 24 0 0 0 0 48c0 256.5 207.9 464 464 464a24 24 0 0 0 23.4-18.6l24-104a24.29 24.29 0 0 0-14.01-27.6z\"><\/path><\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t+41 78 209 02 89<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D\u00e9couvrez les diff\u00e9rences essentielles, les causes sous-jacentes et les meilleures solutions esth\u00e9tiques pour retrouver une silhouette harmonieuse et am\u00e9liorer votre bien-\u00eatre.
