The scientists have now discovered that some women who are obese have a chemical imbalance in their brains,which in turn means that they will derive less satisfaction from eating their food,so this by all accounts explains why they will eat larger portions and be more tempted to enjoy snacking than others.The scientists findings have been based on a years research,but they still are hastily pointing out that bad diet and lack of exercise will lead to obesity too.They were looking at the flow of dopamine to the brain in the obese,the `reward `chemical messenger that floods the brain during pleasurable activities ,such as eating or drinking,the more dopamine that rushes through the more rewarded people will feel.The research took part at a university in Houston Texas.The women were checked for any genetical variation which is linked to a lower number of dopamine receptors.So the outcome was that women with fewer receptors were more likey to put on weight.

yes its true..this discovery is very old and really chemical imbalance action in their brain is nature if they are obese...not only in some activities but in all the things their satisfaction comes to an end by the time they start...so this research is done long ago. Required diet is established and followed by many all over the world and exercises to..................really chemical balance can be obtained..
