The cause of weight gain has changed; there are chemical toxins at the root, which means that calories aren't the only main factor in weight gain. 

Obesogens are toxins that accumulate in the body and disrupt the endocrine system. They can cause hormonal imbalances, promote fat cell growth, and slow metabolism. Exposure to obesogens may also increase the risk of serious health conditions, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and musculoskeletal disorders.

1) What can cause obesogens?

• Toxic Foods 

• Chemicals 

• Heavy Metals 

• Food Sensitivity 

2) How can you prevent obesogens?

Always pick organic options:

• Buying organic foods can help minimize pesticide exposure and provide healthier foods.

Use Glass or Stainless Steel Containers:

• Avoid heating food in plastic containers.

• Try to avoid plastic containers when eating. Some microplastics are associated with obesogen toxins. 

3) Filter your water:

• Filtering your water can help reduce exposure to obesogens and help maintain a healthier lifestyle.

4) Avoid Microwaveable Foods 

• Reheated food is triggered by radiation from the microwave. Your food is also more susceptible to microplastics when in plastic containers. 

5) Avoid Ultra-processed Foods

• Try to avoid food additives such as artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, and MSG.
