Nikki Attkisson | Last Updated : September 14, 2022A new study has been conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States of America.
According to this study, it has been discovered that more than 70% of the adult population in the country of the United States has been classified as obese.
Since the proportion of the population suffering from obesity has gone beyond the standard threshold, it has become vital to discover the possible causes of obesity becoming so common in the country.
There are a lot of factors to getting obese, but when it becomes a disorder faced by almost all people, it has to be something familiar that they face.

What Exactly Is Wegovy?
This is a kind of weight loss drug. This particular drug can potentially reduce appetite and hunger by increasing the production of the hormone GLP 1 inside the body, due to which a person always feels that he has been eating a lot and is not able to eat more. It is a kind of receptor that targets the appetite of the human body and stimulates the secretion of different hormones from the intestine.
It also reduces blood sugar levels. This kind of reduction in the sugar level is always a positive sign because it indicates good metabolism.
Not only this, but also it is essential to understand that usually, inside the body, the level of GLP 1 hormone is reduced. But after the intake of this particular drug, the production of this hormone increases to Trigger weight loss effects in the minimum amount of time.
It attempts to slow down how the stomach gets empty after the food intake so that a person remains full for a more extended period and does not have the age to consume food. It is also described as a psychological condition in which a person is prevented from eating more.
