Are you aware of the silent killer that is fast evolving among us? Yes you're right, I'm talking about obesity. It is clearly evident that this 'plague' is killing more people than chronic diseases will ever do. What leads up to this health threat? How do you think this issue can be solved? Fortunately, as we all know, where there's a will there's a way.
Obesity is a condition where a person has accumulated so much body fat that it might have a negative effect on their health. If a person's bodyweight is at least 20% higher than it should be, he or she is considered obese. If your Body Mass Index (BMI) is between 25 and 29.9 you are considered overweight.
Dieting and exercising are the main treatments for obesity. Diet quality can be improved by reducing the consumption of energy-dense foods, such as those high in fat and sugars, and by increasing the intake of dietary fiber. With a suitable diet, anti-obesity drugs may be taken to reduce appetite or decrease fat absorption.
Obesity is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide, with increasing rates in adults and children. Authorities view it as one of the most serious public helath problems of the 21st century.Obesity is stigmatized in much of the modern world.
