Obesity

What is Obesity?

Obesity is a medical condition characterized by excessive body fat that increases the risk of various health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and joint disorders. It is typically measured using the Body Mass Index (BMI), where a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.

How does Obesity occur?

Obesity results from an imbalance between the calories consumed and the calories burned. When a person consumes more calories than they use through daily activities and exercise, the excess calories are stored as fat. Over time, this leads to weight gain and, eventually, obesity.

Causes of Obesity:

  • Unhealthy Diet: Diets high in processed foods, sugars, and fats contribute to weight gain.

  • Physical Inactivity: Lack of regular physical activity leads to fewer calories being burned, contributing to weight gain.

  • Genetics: Family history can play a role in metabolism and fat storage, making some individuals more prone to obesity.

  • Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like hypothyroidism or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can contribute to weight gain.

  • Lifestyle Factors: Stress, lack of sleep, and certain medications can also contribute to obesity.

Symptoms:

  • Excessive body fat
  • Difficulty with physical activity
  • Shortness of breath
  • Joint pain
  • Fatigue
