Obesity - Obesity Problem, Obesity Cause







If you consider having a big, round tummy like the Michelin Man as the symbol of fortune, you may need to think otherwise. Obesity not only has a significant impact on your health, it is also associated with a number of chronic illnesses, including type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Currently, there are various laparoscopic bariatric surgeries available for patients suffering from morbid obesity. Together with diet control and altering the absorptive system, weight loss can be achieved with a holistic approach.

 

What is obesity?

Obesity is resulted by the deposit of excess fats in the body. This is caused by the over absorption and inadequate output of calories. In fact, many people are gaining weight every day due to binge eating, having a fatty diet and lack of exercise. You can find out whether you are overweight by calculating your Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI is an internationally approved standard in assessing the weight of adults.

The BMI formula is: weight (kg) ÷ (height (m) x height (m))
