One of the issues that have been named and worry worldwide is overweight and obesity, these problems have always been associated with excessive calorie consumption or excessive sedentary lifestyle. Well, these are not just the causes that cause overweight and obesity, now scientists participating in an annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, indicate that it is something programmed and that a child will be overweight or obese in the future depending on the environmental environment. An adequate environment would minimize the chances of suffering from this type of problem.
It is a new hypothesis, obesity as a programmed disorder. The researchers indicate that it can significantly affect the diet and exercise performed during pregnancy, but also environmental factors such as certain chemical agents that are present in various products, such as plastic or paints among others. There are several studies that directly relate some diseases with these chemical agents and obesity is also related. Although numerous investigations have yet to be carried out, experts are on the trail, there is a possibility that exposure to this type of pollutants at certain times of the child's development, increases the possibility of being overweight or obese. In principle, tests carried out on animals have been presented and these determine that there is a notable relationship between obesity and certain chemical agents, in these tests doses of these products considered normal for a fetus were used, such as those we can find in the painting of a house for example.
Experts indicate that the relationship between the increase in obesity and chemical agents has a lot of weight, other studies have already shown the relationship with tobacco or drug use during pregnancy, little by little the riddle of the growing obesity is deciphered in the world, although we must wait for new studies that identify and provide more evidence to demonstrate the aforementioned relationship.
