Why do our pets get so fat?

Coming here, Boris ’condition was that two people had to put their hands up to make him sit in the car. One of her legs was gripped by the drop.

Due to obesity, Boris also had to work hard to breathe.

After about six months of dieting and regular exercise, Boris ’weight has been reduced by 7kg.

He has won the contest to reduce obesity with a Labrador dog named Sadie.

It’s not that obesity has just caught Boris. Pet obesity is on the rise around the world.

Today, between 22 and 44 percent of pets are obese and this figure is steadily increasing.

Overweight dog owners give them fried roasts. Apart from that, the food left on the dining room table is also delivered to the pet dogs.

Likewise, pet fat cat owners make them happy by giving them food and drink instead of taking them for a walk, playing with them.

If the owner of a dog is obese, the dog will also become a victim of obesity. By the way, obesity doesn’t just happen with pets. Wild animals are also taken from it.

Although they are not given much food, nor has there been any reduction in their exercise.

Now, if animals are becoming obese, then there must be one reason or another, which needs to be discovered.

Is it related to the increase in obesity disease in humans? Today, about 1.9 billion people in the world are overweight.

Of these, 65 million people are obese. This represents 13 percent of the world’s total adult population.

Since 1975, the number of obese people in the world has tripled. Today more than 40 million children under the age of five are obese.

The heaviest dogs are of the Labrador breed. Eleanor Raffan holds a PhD in animals and is a researcher at Cambridge University.

He says there are some obesity genes in Labradors, which increase their weight by at least two pounds on average.

Eleanor says, “When the owners of these dogs are in the kitchen, they go there too. They often find pieces of food. They eat continuously.”

“Not for fun, but they’re hungry. The reason dogs are so hungry is a gene called POMC. This example of dogs is also a lesson for humans.”

There are natural reasons behind feeling hungry all the time. We feel that way because of our jeans. And we inherit these genes.

The good news is that just as we learned the reason for our overeating from animal research, we can also reduce obesity by following the example of animals.

Farm-raised animals receive antibiotics because they gain more weight by eating less.

Many countries, including the United Kingdom, have now banned the administration of antibiotics to animals.

So if antibiotics make animals fat, does taking them also cause obesity in humans?

The answer to this question is hidden in your bowels. There are billions of bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi and other microorganisms that live in human intestines.

They are directly related to our weight. If a rat is given bacteria extracted from the intestines of obese people, its obesity increases.

This has been seen in many experiences. Due to the presence of less or more of these germs in our body, we can have diseases ranging from stomach irritation to type 2 diabetes.

After all, how do these germs disrupt the balance of our body? One of the reasons for this is alterations in our genes.

However, animal research has shown that more sweets and chemicals added to make food tasty are also responsible for this.

Administering antibiotics to newborns in the six months after birth increases the risk of obesity.

If antibiotics are taken continuously for six weeks for heart disease, obesity increases even more.

But, if you are about to launch an antibiotic after reading this research, wait.

These investigations do not show that antibiotics are behind the deterioration of the balance of our intestinal bacteria.

Some antibiotics affect the bacterial population we have inside. And these germs are directly responsible for obesity.

To address this difficulty, experiments are being conducted such as transplanting healthy germs into human intestines, which are still in their early stages.

Not only do domestic animals, wild animals also gain weight, but their obesity is more related to the availability of food depending on the season.

A species of squirrel found in the Rocky Mountains of America has been shown to be obese.

They eat a lot in the summer and sleep in the winter. But now, due to global warming, these squirrels are out of winter sleep a month earlier.

That is, the time to eat has been increased by one month. That’s why they get fat. It has been seen that the weight of these squirrels is 300 grams more than average.

Apart from this, the animals are also fattened due to light pollution and insomnia. These reasons have also been seen behind obesity in humans.

People who are constantly exposed to light, it has been seen that their average weight is higher. The chemicals found in some packaging may also be the reason for the increase in obesity.

Like bisphenol A or BPA, a chemical that affects the secretion of the hormone estrogen.

It is found in food cans, some hard plastics and paper used to print receipts and stamps.

In Europe, the use of BPA in polycarbonate bottles for children has been banned.

Here we warn you that looking only at these reasons, we cannot control obesity.

Processed foods are one of the leading causes of obesity. Eating junk food and big burgers and pizza is directly related to the increase in obesity.

Excessive use of sugar in food is also increasing our obesity. Apart from that, eating soft drinks and high fat snacks also increases obesity.

Companies engaged in the food and beverage business often conduct research by researchers who are associated with it.

It is often said in these researches that eating junk food or eating sweets does not lead to obesity.

There are many scientists who belong to big companies like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, McDonald’s and Mars.

Think for yourself to what extent you trust your obesity-related research. Even animals that live in cities become fond of processed foods. They start eating junk food.

They get these things more easily by eating fruit from the trees. Recently, a monkey in Thailand was spoken internationally.

Tourists gave him something to eat continuously. The monkey had grown so fat that it was hard for him to move.

Eleanor Raffan and her fellow researchers are now looking at whether animal obesity can give us a recipe for eliminating human obesity.

We also need to help obese animals.

Because due to obesity, animals can suffer from serious diseases such as arthritis, cancer, diseases of the heart and lungs, as well as diabetes.

Due to being overweight, the shelf life of dogs also decreases by two and a half years on average.

To save animals from obesity, they need to exercise regularly. Attention should be paid to your diet.

These foods will need to be fed so that they feel full for a long time. Obesity is not the result of weak intent. Our eating habits are related to our genes.

This happens in both animals and humans. Therefore, no one should be rejected for it. Animals eat more because they are hungry.

Therefore, even their owners should not be cursed by fat dogs. In fact, obesity is a social problem, which is why our pets are also falling for it.

Many times owners don’t realize that their dog or cat is getting fat. Similarly, many parents do not consider their children to be obese.

Socioeconomic factors are also responsible for obesity. Settlements in which there are fewer green areas. Work resources are less, people there are fatter.

Therefore, the need for comprehensive policy changes to address obesity is also being felt. Because it shows the condition of a society.

On the other hand, Boris has gotten rid of obesity. Boris’ lover, Annemarie Formoy, says Boris was his father’s best friend.

He died in July last year. Annemarie then promised that she would continue to make Boris her father’s champion.

Boris and Annemarie have kept that promise. Today Boris has got rid of arthritis. Now he had also finished his breathing problem.

The way Boris overcame obesity will teach us many lessons.
