Weight gain
generally occurs slowly over our lifetime; however there is evidence to show
that some life stages and some life events are likely to increase the risk for
weight gain. For women, the weight gain occurs a couple of time during their
lifetime: Life Stages like puberty and menopause and during Life Events like
pregnancy. There are plenty of resources available regarding these critical
periods of weight gain so you are made aware and you can take action.
However, there
are times when sudden and unexplained weight gain might be dangerous for health
and long-term well-being. As one of the pioneers in helping women stay in shape naturally, BottomSlim works with plenty of
clients to advise them about lifestyle changes that can interfere with their
abilities to maintain a healthy body, confident appearance and happiness overall.
Here are two
of the top causes of sudden weight gain that we notice generally affect
Singaporean women:
1.
Exercise
too much
While working out benefits the body, as it boosts endorphins to make us
happier, more creative, more productive, and balances our blood sugar levels to
prevent diabetes and heart disease, too much training can cause our bodies to
store fat. Excess cortisol can promote fat storage, and wipe away muscle, which
actually helps burn more calories.
2. Work too much
It is great that your career takes you from London, Paris and Shanghai
but irregular work hours and prolonged travel affects you with diminished sleep
or wrecked cycles. Plus, if your travel is international, the jet lag is
guaranteed to take a toll on the body. Not getting adequate sleep can interfere
with a woman’s natural hormones, predominantly cortisol and the hunger
hormones, ghrelin, and leptin, which can enhance cravings and overeating.
A woman can have it. And it is not
your fault to want to have it all either. Go ahead and take on the world but it
is important to take note of a sudden fluctuation in weight that could be a
sign of a larger problem.
