WHO announced that there are presently 1 billion adults who are overweight and 300, 000 of them are identified as obese. The growing number of heavy weight and obese people has increased at an disturbing speed; it has also arrived at global outbreak proportions. Causes of obesity have been linked to over consumption of food that are high in sugar and saturated fats that are animal-based, sedentary way of life, and the modified eating patterns among cultures in highly modernized cities around the world.Obesity is one of the many reasons of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, heart diseases and some type of cancer. Presently obesity has become one of the most public health concerns specifically among developing countries.If this concern is not resolved immediately, people will be at risk of deadly diseases because of obesity. Medical science around the world has continuously in search of medical breakthroughs about obesity. This is in response to the global demand to stop health-related risk of obesity. A study in Albert Einstein College of Medicine's medical researchers has yet to be confirmed as one of the medical breakthroughs on obesity.According to the research that maintaining the amount of fatty acids in the brain may be the treatment for obesity. Moreover the study aims to alter the results of molecular substance malonyl CoA. This molecule is supposed to have been an effect on the activity of the hypothalamus, which as a result improves the hunger of an individual.If the scientist can found a way to alter the amount of malonyl CoA in the brain, people will no longer crave for so much food. This research is posing pledge to cure obesity to children and adults in a similar way, though it is still to be experimented on humans.Medical scientists from Imperial College have found a way to suppress the craving for food in humans. Injecting a medicine that enhances the oxyntomodulin content in the abdomen was being done in diabetic patients. This hormone, which is manufactured naturally by the body sends message to the brain that the stomach is full.Jason Myers is a professional writer and he writes mostly about medical research information online.
