People who are overweight and obese are often victims of discrimination and nasmeshek



While some people believe that the censure of fat people "stimulates weight loss," a new study conducted with the participation of nearly 3,000 British adults, shows that this is not so.

In fact, it is not very surprising. People often try to "seize" a grudge after their shamed for their completeness. Moreover, the stress caused by discrimination, can enhance the appetite, causing cravings for unhealthy, energy-rich food. It also leads to problems such as the rejection of his own body and the loss of trust in people, which is why fat people are less likely to participate in physical activity.

According to a new study conducted at University College London, people who reported discrimination on the basis of the weight, gained an average of 0, 95 kg, while not subjected to discrimination on the participants lose 0, 71 kg. The difference amounted to 1, 66 kg.

During the four-year study in 2944's adult residents of the United Kingdom asked whether they faced daily discrimination related to their weight. Among the responses were, for example, such "disrespect," "poor service in shops" and "persecution».



The authors concluded: "Our results underscore the need for effective action at the community level to combat the spread of stigma and discrimination on the criterion of the presence of excess weight».

And as noted lead author Jane Wardle:

«Our study clearly demonstrates that discrimination based on the weight - it is a problem related obesity, not its solution. This trend was recorded not only among the general public, but also among health care workers: many patients with obesity report disrespectful treatment of doctors. Everyone, including the doctors should stop ridicule and shame the people who are overweight and instead help them and, if necessary, treatment ».
