Redoubled attention
If even with the correct diet and physical exercise there is an increase in weight for no apparent reason, it is important to consult the doctor. Weight is just one of the ways in which the body signals that something is not going well.
Realizing this change and seeking professional help from an endocrinologist is important to solve the problem, and to treat the agent that is causing it early.
