Faulty lifestyle
Nowadays, in this materialistic world, we are leading very hectic lives and do not follow a disciplined lifestyle. We have a myopic outlook towards life i.e. to earn money and accumulate all the luxurious things in whatever way possible. In acquiring these things we sacrifice our peace of mind, health, good sleep, family life, etc. We try to do numerous works at a time and do not concentrate on one thing as we are always in a hurry. Due to an unorganized and haphazard life schedule, there is no fixed time for getting up in the morning, sleeping, eating or physical exercise/yoga. This is the primary cause of developing various diseases.
Unbalanced diet
Nowadays we give preference to junk and spicy food, deep-fry food, processed food, ice cream, and western snacks. We have gotten to take a wholesome and nutritious diet. Intake of high-fat diets chocolates, sweets, wafers, and high carbohydrate food like potatoes, rice, and pasta lose nutrition balance. This eating habit causes the deposition of excess fat on the body. Eating too much than the required amount of dietary intake may also cause obesity.
Lack of exercise/yoga
Physical inactivity develops lethargicness and necessary hormones are not released in our body in sufficient quantity for the smooth functioning of our vital organs. Lack of exercise and restricted movability of the body is also one of the factors of obesity. Whatever we eat is converted in calories and if we do not burn excess calories it may deposit as fat in our body.

Depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress are the leading psychological factors that may cause an eating disorder. Psychological factors like overeating and under-exercising could also result in obesity.

If any of our parents or grandparents had the problem of obesity, it may continue in the next generations also.
