I am confused as to why the human body has so many regulation mechanisms, yet seems to fail many of us in excess weight gain. Why can’t the body just increase the metabolism/heart rate in overweight people, to help burn off the extra calories?
In: Biology
Humans have evolved with very little fat/salt/sugar. That’s why we like those kinds of foods so much and why our bodies are really good at storing fat. It’s like your body is thinking “well it’s going to be a *long* time before I see this again, might as well hold onto it” even though we have food in excess now.
