- Eating too much causes obesity. Eating wrong or excess foods leads us directly to a disproportionate increase in weight.
- Drinking alcohol continuously increases the chances of abdominal obesity. The effect of alcohol on accumulated fat is greater in the case of beer than in wine. The European prospective study on cancer and nutrition (EPIC), reveals that alcohol consumption continuously throughout life in men and women, produces abdominal obesity (with increased waist circumference).
- Drinking a lot of salt increases the risk of obesity. It is no secret that too much salt implies an action harmful to our health, since it can increase blood pressure, the risk of heart attack, stroke. However, new studies have now identified a new consequence of a high salt intake: obesity.
- Obesity can cause 11 types of cancer. Science has determined that suffering from obesity increases the risk of suffering: breast, ovarian, kidney, pancreas, colon, rectum, marrow, endometrium, multiple and gastric myeloma.

- Obesity reduces sperm quality. According to a report presented at the Congress of the European Society of Human Reproduction (SCHRE) The sperm of men with obesity is poorer.
- Obesity causes a malfunction of the stomach. A study conducted by the University of Adelaide in Australia, The International Journal of Obesity, shows that the stomach nerves responsible for identifying the satiety of people lose sensitivity after consuming a long-term fat diet. To this is added that the hormone that sends the brain the satiety signal also works worse in people with obesity. These two mechanisms combined make obese people need to eat more to feel full.
