Weight Regulation

Weight regulation refers to the body's processes that balance energy intake (what we eat) and energy expenditure (how much we burn through activity and metabolism). This balance is influenced by hormones, metabolism, genetics, and environment. When you consume more calories than your body uses, you gain weight; conversely, if you use more than you eat, you lose weight. Maintaining a stable weight involves a complex interplay of these factors, making it important to adopt healthy eating and physical activity habits that suit your lifestyle. Understanding this balance can help support overall health and well-being.
