OBESITY
 Obesity is a condition where there happens
the accumulation of excess amount of body
fat in a human body.
 Obesity can cause various diseases like
diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol,
arthritis, cancer, heart disease and other
lifestyle diseases.
 Obesity is most commonly caused by a combination
of excessive food intake, lack of physical activity,
and genetic susceptibility .
 A few cases are caused primarily
by genes, endocrine disorders, medications,
or mental illness.
 On average, obese people have a greater energy
expenditure than their thin counterparts due to the
energy required to maintain an increased body
mass
BMI

 People are generally considered obese when
their Body Mass Index (BMI), a measurement
obtained by dividing a person's weight by the
square of the person's height, is over 30 kg/m2
, with the range 25–30 kg/m2 defined as over
weight.
 People should always try to stick to suitable
BMI rate.
How to fight with obesity?
 Obesity is a leading preventable cause
of death worldwide, with increasing
rates in adults and children.
 Obesity can be avoided with
