Obesity may be the Result of a Thinking Disorder

Obesity has always been thought to be the outcome of a bad lifestyle. A recent research thinks otherwise, suggesting a link between a problem in the way thoughts are formed and the tendency for weight gain.

Researchers found a link between obesity and weakness in the area of the brain that is incharge of functions like decision-making, planning, reasoning, and organizational skills.

Therefore, obesity should be treated like a brain condition rather than a lifestyle disorder.
