Obesity: Simple Ways to Maintaining a Healthy Weight

By CANDICE WALLER

An excessive build-up of body fat is the hallmark of obesity, a complex medical condition that can be harmful to one's health. Having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater is commonly used to describe it. A person's weight in kilogrammes divided by their height in metres squared yields their BMI. Although BMI is a helpful screening tool, it does not account for variables like muscle mass or directly quantify the distribution of body fat.

A mix of behavioural, environmental, and hereditary variables lead to obesity. Obesity is a result of a variety of factors, including genetics, sedentary lifestyles, poor food choices, and specific medical disorders. Numerous health problems, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, some malignancies, and musculoskeletal disorders are linked to an elevated risk of the syndrome.
A comprehensive strategy that incorporates behavioural modifications, frequent exercise, and good diet are necessary to address and prevent obesity. Furthermore, in certain situations, medical measures like prescription drugs or surgical procedures could be advised.
