It is well known for every place where you go, there’s the tasty food around. It’s starting with a light crepe, next famous Shabu and ending with Bingsu, ice-cream and cake. That looks like as the wonderful life. The eating habits that lead to the plumpness of many people. It impacts to our money in the pocket to pay a yearly fitness. In fact, it’s rarely to use the service there. From information in the media, many people know that the reason of the fat is from eating food plus the behavior of no exercising. However, they don’t know that another important part of result is that we all have to make us fat from the small thing called "brain" itself.

    Our brain is outdated and it is less developed when it’s compared to other parts of the body. If you talk about eating. The brain continues to instruct the body to seek foods that are high in fat and sugar because in the hundreds of thousands years ago, food is necessary and very rare. When they find or have some food, people will hurry to eat it out. In the past, there was no refrigerator, so the brain ordered the body to eat as much as possible for it would have the energy to live the next day. The important hormones in the body always stimulate to the central nervous system. In particular, the Hypothalamus brain, which is central to control eating. To tell the body to stop eating when the body begins to feel fat, it’s a hormone called Lepting. Therefore, when we eat more than necessary, this hormone and the Hypothalamus will always order us to stop eating. It’s like as it will be okay, but why we are still fat and don’t seem to stop when we see the delicious food and snack. That's because the smart brain is resistant to Leptin hormone. Since the examination of the obese people are found that the fat people have more leptin hormones than other people, and the brain is working well. As such, scientists have found another way to find a hormone called Ghrelin. When we’re hungry, we eat some food. So if we can extract this hormone to not affect the brain, we will not be hungry. It may look awesome too.

    If we look around well, then we will see that the brain is a little stubborn, but it can be managed according to the system that we want. Another option that would be appropriate is when we find food that can eat or not eat, but we choose eat in suitable quality. When you feel full, you should know how to eat enough. If you want to eat more, you choose take a break several times. To leave yourself empty or hungry, as well as to not eat food on time, is very dangerous. The brain will lose its balance, process and make mistakes, leading to a craze eating and stopping it very hard. The using of anti-obesity drugs is to extract the hormones that is related to the brain, which causes for malfunction of brain. When the brain has malfunctions, it has effects on the functioning of the body as a whole. Finally, you should don’t forget to exercise and do a little bit for exercise a day. To exercise every day will help the good body system, hormones and brain balance.
