STUDY AND TREATMENT OF THE ORIGINS OF OBESITY IN PREGNANT WOMEN

Abstract

Obesity is becoming an increasingly serious medical and social problem every year in countries with high levels of economic development.

Eating etiquette refers to a value attitude towards food that shapes dietary stereotypes and includes individual attitudes, habits, and emotions toward food. Nowadays, the term “carbohydrate thirst” has even appeared in the literature, where a person immediately feels the need for sweet and fatty foods. In addition, it is similar to a drug, and when it is absent, the person becomes depressed, which is somewhat reminiscent of abstinence [26, 27]. When a restricted type of behavior is followed by an overly strict diet, the period of overeating changes against the background of a development called “dietary depression” [2, 3, 19]. The most severe forms of malnutrition cause anorexia and bulimia nervosa. This leads to very serious psychiatric illnesses and is treated with the mandatory participation of psychiatrists.
