Winter Food.
EATING AT WINTER
Winters often causes us to gain weight. Every
winter we add a few pounds. Most persons really add those pounds that
are hard to lose afterwards. Its known that during the winter we are
more likely to gain weight, and then in the spring and summer we will
pass time trying to lose those pounds we weight more than we should.
What causes this phenomenon?
There is no logical explanation to properly demonstrate the theory of
gaining weight in the winter, but there are some potential causes that
can inflict this.
Genetic predisposition it is
possible that our genes to be programmed to consume more aliments high
on fats and more alcohol during periods with low temperatures. A
plausible explanation would be that our ancestors needed a significant
quantity of fats in their organism jus to survive through these periods
and that quantity acted as fuel for fighting the cold. Scientists say
that we inherited these genes, and along with them the need to consume
aliments that are high on fats during winters.
The level of some hormones
the interaction of different chemicals and hormones inside the human
brain can cause variations in appetite and aliment consumption. Some
neuron-transmitters, substances that have the role to transmit
information from a nervous cell to the other, can influence the way we
eat. When the level of these neuron-transmitters is low (a phenomenon
that is highly encountered with over-weighed persons) can create an
permanent appetite and can have a great influence over our psychic
stages (it will increase depression, cause sleep disorders). Some
persons often at winter feel depressed, as a reaction of less day hours
because of the shorter days. Our body reacts to depression, producing a
bigger quantity of neuron-transmitters another way to combat
depression is to eat aliments rich in carbohydrates.
Unfortunately, aliments with carbohydrates (chips, cookies and pies,
chocolate) also have fats in them, so an excessive use on a long period
of time will surely lead to weight problems. The solution is to make
sure we are eating the aliments that have in them carbohydrates and
fibers to combat depression and without having to deal with extra
pounds.
The lack of exercise it is obvious that physical activity is not very
enjoyable in the winter, compared to the freedom of movement summer
offers us. In the winter however you must not abandon sports because
cold and rains or snow. this appears to be the main reason that causes
weight problems during the winter we have many calories within our
body, but we never transform them to energy because we make no physical
effort, so naturally, they will add up to our weight.
