In today's time, every second person is troubled by the problem of obesity. The increased weight also spoils our figure and also has a bad effect on our health. Many times we just keep complaining about gaining weight but do nothing to lose weight. At the same time, many people work very hard to lose weight, yet their weight does not decrease. Have you ever thought about what could be the reason behind this? If you are working very hard for weight loss but still you are not able to get rid of stubborn fat then there may be some health conditions behind it. Due to the lack of any vitamin or nutrition in our body, due to hormonal imbalance, many types of symptoms appear which are very important to pay attention to in time. If your weight is not decreasing even after a million attempts, you feel less energy in the body, and problems related to your stomach and skin, if your hair is falling, then you should consult a doctor and get this test done as soon as possible. Dietician Manpreet has given information about this from his Instagram account.

Thyroid profile

The effect of more or less thyroid hormone is on many activities of our body. When it is more active (hyper thyroid), there can be problems of weakness and mood swings. On the other hand, when it is less active (hypo thyroid), symptoms like dull skin, hair breakage and weight gain are seen. Thyroid profile includes T3, T4 and TSH tests.

HbA1c

This is a test of hemoglobin, which gives information about the average blood sugar level of the last 3 months. Its increase can cause problems of inflammation, dull skin and mood swings. Its correct range is 5.7 percent to 6.5 percent.

Liver profile

Even if there is any problem in the liver profile, there are many symptoms in the body which include hair loss, weight gain and mood swings. Liver damage can also occur if there is no proper diagnosis and treatment in time. Liver profile includes ALT, AST, ALP, and bilirubin. ALT should be 10-40 U/L in men, and 7-35 U/L in women.
