Matthew David Parker is a family man, a successful business person
and a popular salsa dance instructor. He owns Lafayette Dance Studio in
Louisiana where he teaches people how to dance salsa and even become
professionals in the dance. He understand how important being fit is to
most salsa dancers and knows the reasons why some people tend to gain
too much weight. The following are some of the many causes for putting
on weight:
Lack of sleep
Studies show that the body functions best when it is well rested. Therefore when you provide your body with sufficient sleep it rejuvenates itself and functions properly. But when you deny your body adequate sleep, it experiences physiological stress. This in turn alters the chemical composition of the body and this forces the body to store excess fat. When exhausted, you tend to consume a lot of food so as to cope with the situation but this instead leads to weight gain.

Stress and depression
To some people stress makes them gain weight while to others it enables them to shed off some weight. Sadly, the medications usually used to manage stress and depression in most cases lead to weight gain. This means that when you are taking antidepressants you might actually gain some weight in the long run.

Inactive lifestyle
People today have resolved to certain lifestyles that can lead to weight gain for example watching TV and eating a lot of snacks as you watch and blogging. Most people enjoy spending hours watching TV and movies and during these moments a lot of junk food and energy drinks are served. These foods contain high calorie content. Instead of putting these calories into use and convert them into energy, the body converts them into fat when you are inactive. It is here that you are encouraged to even join the salsa dance class.

Taking certain medications
There are certain drugs that are known to cause weight gain. Some of these drugs include steroids, antipsychotics, drugs for diabetes, antidepressants, heartburn drugs, anti-seizure medications and medications used to treat high blood pressure. All these drugs cause some calming effect to the body which in turn slows down your metabolism rate leading to storage of fats in the body hence weight gain.

Hormonal changes and pregnancy in women
Hormonal changes especially in women can cause weight gain in their middle years. During menopause most women experience weight gain simply because during her reproductive years the secretion of estrogens, which is the hormone responsible for ovulation process and menstruation, helped in increasing metabolism.
