Cause Of Weight Gain - Healthy Weight For Height

By Jason Taingahue
What is the cause of weight gain and what is a healthy weight for height? If you keep reading on I will explain to you exactly what the cause of weight gain is and what healthy weight for height is.

First of all let's take a look at what the cause of weight gain is. There are various factors that can contribute to the cause of weight gain. Some of these factors can be influences from delicious foods which contain the worst nutritional factor in weigh gain, saturated facts. Some of the other factors that can contribute to the cause of weight gain are genetics, stress, smoking, diabetes and plenty more.

There is no one factor that stands above them all. Sure enough the cause of weight gain in food is normally the consumption of to many saturated fats, but we need to look behind the scenes of what the deeper problem is? I mean the cause of weight gain can simple come from some stresses that have arisen from the past, such as a family or personal tragedy that has happened. Another cause of weight gain that happens in a lot of guys that like to bulk up is an over consumption of carbohydrates. Once the carbohydrates are fully stored in the body and in the bodies reserves it then stores as fat in a process called de-nova-lipogenesis, which is something that you really don't really need to know about in technical terms. Just the basic understanding of that cause of weight gain is all that is needed.

Another cause of weight gain is stress related weight gain. This is such that a person is under an amount of stress from various things in there life and they just eat whatever they want and in excess. A lot of people use the eating habit to get rid of stress, only it is developing another stress as well.

So what is your healthy weight for height? Do you know what your healthy weight for height is? If you do not know your healthy weight for height, then read on, I have a little something that you may be interested to know when reading your healthy weight for height ratios. Something that you may not know about the healthy weight for height charts.

First of all when you want to read your healthy weight for height ratio's, there are charts that any doctor will have or you could simply go down to your local hospital and ask to look at one of there charts.

The next thing that you need to know is these charts are only designed for the sedentary person, which is a person that doesn't do much or any exercise at all. This means that a healthy weight for height ratio is never always a correct reading and more so it could be just about completely wrong because it does not take into consideration the amount of muscle mass that you have. Take for example if you have been training for about 6 months and you have put on an extra 3 kilo's. This could be muscle, but on the healthy weight for height chart this could deem you as being obese because of the extra muscle mass that is does not calculate into the equation.

So as I said, a healthy weight for height chart can probably most of the time always be wrong, so do not be discouraged by the fact that it says your over weight, because this may not be the case at all and usually is not.

Well I hope that what you have just red gives you a good indication on the cause of weight gain and also how to read healthy weight to height charts too.
