Learn about obesity
People face many problems when they become overweight, which mainly arises when the normal BMI or Body Mass Index increases. In other words, to be obese, a person must have more body fat than their muscle, other body fluids, and bones. So, the easiest way to measure whether you are obese is by checking or measuring your BMI or waist circumference.
People affected by obesity generally suffer from genetic, behavioural, and environmental conditions that they cannot solve through dieting. Moreover, the disorder increases the likelihood of other diseases and related health problems.
However, the good news is you can improve your health by losing even a modest amount of weight. You can do this by increasing physical activity, changing your diet, and improving your behaviour. In addition, doctors will also provide medicines and weight-loss processes for treating obesity quickly.
The most common diseases that people suffering from obesity face are as follows:
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Osteoarthritis
- Gallbladder disease
- Cancer
- Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Respiratory problems and Sleep Apnoea
