How Does Gluconite Supplement Work?
If you have gained a few kilos and you
continue to eat the same as before, something of this may happen to you
You do everything right. You eat healthy,
you don't freckle too much with the 'extras' and you don't swell up on alcohol
or soft drinks either. However, for a long time you have noticed that you do
not stop gaining weight. You feel heavy, you have gained a couple of kilos and
you cannot find any explanation. What could be happening?
There are reasons that make us gain
weight, and that have nothing to do with the diet or exercise we follow. If you
are sure that you have not gained weight because you have been overeating or
have changed your menus, keep reading because it will interest you.
Why
are you getting fat: seven reasons?
Here are the seven reasons that can
explain your sudden and strange weight gain. Many have to do with your habits
and others with your genetics or your age.
1)
you don't get enough sleep
It may seem trivial, but if you don't
sleep well at night you will end up noticing it on your scale sooner rather
than later. Some experts have investigated the relationship between lack of
sleep and weight gain, and they believe that it is simply because being awake
longer hours you consume more calories.
However, others consider that it is due to
a hormonal issue: when you do not get enough sleep, the hormones change and you
secrete a specific one (ghrelin) that makes you feel hungrier. In addition, you
secrete less of another (leptin) which is the one that alerts you that you have
already eaten enough.

2)
You are stressed
The stress makes you fat. Having an
elevated cortisol level can be good for a while, but chronic cortisol, one that
lasts for months, can cause weight gain. Your body, being in this state of
continuous alarm, thinks that you need the calories, then it accumulates fat
because it believes there is danger.
A 2018 study concluded that there is a
connection between high cortisol and fat. In fact, research revealed that
cortisol can affect a person's circadian rhythm, causing them to gain weight.
3)
You are depressed
If you are depressed, your weight gain may
be due to it. You may have gained weight from antidepressants, if you take
medication, or from feeling sad and lonely.
A 2015 study monitored 362 patients taking
antidepressants and concluded, after 36 months, that 55% had gained weight.
Another 2010 study revealed that people who feel sad and lonely gain weight
faster than those with fewer symptoms related to depression. The latter could
be due to the fact that these individuals, when they feel bad, tend to eat
foods with a high caloric load.
4)
Your gut is malfunctioning
The digestive problems, including
constipation, may also explain the weight gain. If you do not go to the
bathroom easily and regularly (once or twice a day), it may be the reason that
you have put on weight.
Another possible risk factor could be in
your gut flora or microbiome. Several studies link the mixing of bacteria in
the gut with weight gain, especially if you don't have a correct balance of
good and bad bacteria.

5)
You lack these nutrients
If you have low levels of magnesium, iron,
or a deficiency of vitamin D , your energy levels will be reduced, which can
disrupt your metabolism. In addition, this deficit of nutrients and vitamins
tends to be compensated by the intake of caffeine, sweets and simple
carbohydrates (bread, buns, pasta, rice ...), which are what make us fat.
6)
You are getting older
There are different theories related to
weight gain and age. One of them is the one that points to hormonal changes.
Around the age of 50, women go through
menopause, which is attributed to a sharp drop in estrogen production, which
causes an increase in body fat. This same hormone also affects men of that age,
as revealed by a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which
determined that although a lack of testosterone seems to be responsible for the
increase in lean body mass (without fat), it is actually the absence of
estrogen that is mainly responsible for the accumulation of fat.

7)
You eat at night
The metabolism slows down throughout the
day, so it is important to stop eating around eight in the afternoon. What you
eat from that hour on, you will hardly burn it, since you will be at rest and your
body begins to slow down in terms of energy expenditure.
One study showed that people who ate their
largest meal at dinner had a higher BMI (Body Mass Index) than those who ate
their largest meal at breakfast or dinner.
It can
affect people with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, as well
as pregnant women with gestational diabetes. It can occasionally affect
people who do not have diabetes, but usually only people who are seriously ill,
such as those who have recently had a stroke or heart attack, or
have a severe infection. Hyperglycaemia should not be confused with hypoglycaemia,
which is when a person's blood sugar level drops too low.
