Did you know? The hypothalamus regulates weight via hormones like leptin, which signals energy reserves. In obesity, leptin resistance disrupts this signal, leading to fat storage. The body defends weight fiercely, making regulation complex. Learn more: bit.ly/4kP3C5N
Obesity isn’t just about weight—it’s more complex. Research shows weight regulation is mostly unconscious, controlled by the brain. The body’s energy use for vital functions is similar across active & sedentary people. Obesity disrupts these processes. obesitythebigtruth.eu/the-myths/
Obesity is not a choice or behavior, it’s driven by biology, brain signaling & biochemistry. Not all excess fat is unhealthy, but dysfunctional fat can disrupt health. Two people with the same weight can have different health profiles. Learn more 👉 obesitythebigtruth.eu
Physical activity benefits health but is not a long-term treatment for obesity. Managing weight requires evidence-based care. Therapeutic rehabilitation activity, prescribed by specialists, can support obesity management. Learn more 👉 obesitythebigtruth.eu/the-myths/ #Obesity

One of the myths about obesity is that is a lifestyle choice and not a disease. Scientific research repeatedly shows that this is not true. Obesity is a complex disease influenced by various factors. Read more about it 👉 obesitythebigtruth.eu/the-myths/
What is The Big Truth? Obesity is gaining attention, but many still don’t know it’s a chronic disease or which treatments work best. This initiative aims to shift the narrative from blame to biology from stigma to science. Learn more here 👉 obesitythebigtruth.eu/qa/
