Obesity: a burning issue of modern society
Obesity is a burning issue in modern society since it is one of the leading causes
of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Obesity has become a global problem with
increased incidence, duration, and prevalence in recent years. Despite being one of the
most common chronic diseases worldwide, there is still no effective therapy for people
suffering from obesity. There are many possible factors that contribute to the development
of obesity including genetic predisposition, socioeconomic factors, socioeconomic status,
etc.
Obesity is a health problem that has been rising over time. It is now more of a
burning issue in modern society than ever. With the current generation, obesity has
reached dangerous levels. In this book, you will find information on how obesity affects
the body and how obesity can affect your life.
It has become a leading risk factor for lifestyle-related diseases such as coronary
heart disease (CHD), hypertension, and diabetes. The risk of developing such diseases
is related to the burden imposed by excess fat mass in many physiological systems. The
global prevalence of obesity has nearly doubled over the past three decades. Obesity
reduces life expectancy and increases incidences of cardiovascular disease, multiple
cancers, and mental health disorders.
In 2016, more than 1.6 million people died prematurely because of this disease
worldwide. Scientists warn that obesity is increasingly responsible for cardiovascular and
metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes which leads to heart attack, stroke, high
blood pressure, and some forms of cancer. Obesity has developed into a growing public
health challenge in recent years, with devastating consequences for individuals and
society. The impact of these diseases will be further amplified if we do not address the
problem soon.
Obesity has become a major health concern in the United States. The number of
obese and overweight adults has doubled in the past 30 years. Obesity is defined as
excess body weight due to an unhealthy lifestyle, which includes eating too much food,
poor dietary habits, and lack of physical activity. Being overweight and obese can lead to
many problems including coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke,
especially among people who are also inactive. Preventing obesity is possible but it will
require changes in diet and physical activity along with weight loss surgery or some other
intervention.
The rate of obesity in the United States has increased dramatically in recent years.
According to one study, nearly 16% of the country's population is obese, a worrying
concern because obesity and excess weight is strongly linked to an assortment of health
concerns and conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular
disease, and cancer. Research has shown that the most successful way to prevent
obesity is to change your diet while increasing your level of physical activity.
