What are the causes of obesity? Why have policies related to the prevention of this epidemic not been successful? Thoughtful and critical, Salvador Camacho takes on the task of refuting the myths behind body fat, reviewing its positive and negative aspects from a scientific point of view, illustrated with examples from everyday life. It calls into question the theories on caloric balance, which for years have permeated health science research, which suggest treating the problem of obesity and overweight as the entire responsibility of each individual, since for the author There is another source for these problems. To fully understand the problem, a key concept: hormonal imbalance. Obesity and overweight are approached from several perspectives: biological, nutritional, marketing, government; each influences the way these diseases are treated. Changing your perspective about treatments might be a goal, but becoming aware of what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong can serve as a first step.
