7/16(Tue) 💢 Signals your body sends before gaining weight!!

My husband told me that I snore when I gain weight. 😆 And I also get short of breath and sweat more. But after losing weight, those symptoms really disappeared!! I guess I really need to lose weight 🥲

There are several signals your body sends before gaining weight. Recognizing these symptoms and making efforts to lose weight are important.

The fart smells bad.

Consuming a lot of fat tends to increase the number of harmful bacteria in the gut microbiota, leading to more pungent fart odors. Meat contains high levels of fat and oil, which take longer to fully digest compared to other foods. The longer food stays in the intestines, the longer fermentation lasts, increasing the likelihood of foul-smelling gas emissions. Excessive drinking can also disrupt the activity of gut microorganisms, preventing proper food breakdown and resulting in foul-smelling flatulence. It is important to avoid excessive intake of fats and alcohol to prevent weight gain.

◇Worsening of body odor

When you gain weight, you may develop a strong odor in the armpits. The sweat glands in the armpits release not only sweat but also fats and sebum, which decompose due to skin bacteria, causing a foul smell. Eating foods high in fat content can make the sebaceous glands more active, intensifying the odor. People who have gained weight may also experience stronger foot odor because as fat accumulates in the feet, the space decreases, leading to poor ventilation and increased moisture.

Snoring that didn't bother you anymore

If you snore loudly or your snoring has worsened, it may be a sign that fat has accumulated in the airway. When you gain weight, the thickness of the neck increases, and the amount of body fat around the airway inside the neck also increases. At this time, the airway becomes narrower, causing more vibration and resulting in snoring. Snoring can lead to sleep apnea, a condition where breathing temporarily stops during sleep, so caution is necessary.

◇Shortness of breath and increased sweating

Suddenly gaining weight can cause shortness of breath and labored breathing even with slight movement. This is because fat surrounds the chest wall, reducing its elasticity. When elasticity decreases, it becomes difficult to breathe properly as not enough air enters during inhalation and exhalation. You also sweat more.
