OBESITY

Genes may set the stage for obesity but your body weight ultimately is determined by your diet and physical activity. Long term eating excess calories, leading a sedentary lifestyle, or a combination of both leads to obesity. Your hereditary doesn’t mean you are destined to be fat. No matter what you genes say; it is ultimately your choices in nutrition and activities that will ultimately determine your weight.


Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. It is far more than the mere result of too much eating and or too little exercise. It is a health and social concern which should not be treated with levity.


In some cultures obesity is fashionable and being overweight is just a normal and acceptable part of modern life. Even the children re not left out, prevalence of obesity in children has increased strikingly with about 25%-30 % of children either overweight or obese. 


The weight-loss industry generates millions of dollars as desperate people seek a way to get back to shape. All kinds of drugs are said to solve but most times these drugs create more health problems for the user.  Obesity is not easy to treat, and most people who loss weight do not keep it off.


Obesity is defined as having excessive amount of body fat. In other word, obesity is having abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. If you are obese, you are more likely to develop a number of potentially serious health problems.
