Write your answers in the chart below.What factors can lead to obesity?Or what causes weight gain?Weight change=calories in-calories outIf you burn as many calories as you take in each day, there’s nothing left for storage in fat cells and weightremains the same. Eat more than you burn, though, and you end up adding fat and pounds. Many things influence what and when you eat and how many calories you burn.These turn what seems to be a straightforward pathway to excess weight in to a complex journey that may start very early in life.For further information, please refer to enrichment reading and the article “What factors can lead to obesity?”factors reasons/ examplesAgeIncidence 发生率of obesity increases with increasein age. As physical activity level decreases with age,if caloric intake is not adjusted then extra calorieswill be deposited as fat.genes Some people are genetically predisposed 预先togain weight more easily than others.Physical inactivity Inactivity or sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factorfor obesity because extra calories, which are not usedin physical activities, are deposited in body as fat. Drugs Certain medications like corticosteroids皮脂激素,tricyclic 三环的antidepressants, antipsychoticmedications 精神抑制药can increase your risk ofbeing obese.High calorie diet 1 gm of carbohydrate provides 4 calories, 1 gm of protein -4calories and 1 gm of fat -9 calories. So, foods with high fatcontent are rich in calories. Also, foods & beverages like softdrink, desserts, which are high in sugar can also lead to weightgain.smoking Nicotine from cigarette increases metabolic 新陈代谢rate ofyour body. High metabolic rate means more burning ofcalories by the body. When you quit smoking, you may gainweight temporarily.Diseases or medical conditions Obesity is associated with certain medical conditions like hypothyroidism 甲状腺功能减退, arthritis关节炎.Psychological & emotional factors Psychological factors can change eating habits. Some people overeat to deal with emotions like stress, boredom, anger & sadness.Task 1 Listening inNews Report 2—McDonald’s menuListen to the news and do the exercises on p. 45-46.Downsize: vi. to get smaller in size 小型化 Lawsuit: n. a noncriminal case in a court of law 诉讼( 尤指非刑事案件)Conscience: n. an inner sense that knows the difference between right and wrong, judges one’s actions according to moral laws, and makes one feel guilty, good, evil, etc. 良知;良心The documentary mentioned in the news is “Supersize Me.”In Super Size Me, filmmaker Spurlock clarifies the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a “McDonald's only” diet for thirty days straight.
