In the past few weeks, we have been bombarded with the revelation that obesity genes cause one to regain weight even after joining a weight loss program. But did you know that the genes causing us to regain weight could also be causing other health related problems like osteoporosis!

Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones of a person become fragile. It has been informed by the researchers of Gothenburg University that the abundance of adiponectin, a protein, which causes osteoporosis, may also trigger cardiovascular diseases.

The genes causing us to regain weight are indirectly posing a great threat to the working of a human body. Fragile bone structure may cause fractures and reduced muscle strength and mass.

It has further been revealed that men with lower weight are at higher risk of developing bone diseases if they shed off more weight. A study conducted over 1,476 men has found that men who tend to lose weight are more prone to being affected by fractures.

Obesity has already become a major problem in many countries. The medical experts have linked it to life threatening diseases like cancer and heart diseases. Considering the health risk triggered by obesity, it is being advised that one should indulge in exercise and should follow a healthy diet.

If one controls obesity then diseases like cancer and osteoporosis could be prevented. Besides heart diseases, obesity also causes diabetes and high blood pressure. A minute change in one's lifestyle can prevent one from become obese. However, a person who has become a victim of genes causing obesity can lead a healthy life through exercising regularly. These days obesity has also become a common problem among kids. Sedentary lifestyle and trend of eating out are some of the main reasons behind it.
