Obesity (Fat)

Obesity is one of the most serious health problems in the world. Obesity is a complex disorder defined by an excessive amount of body fat.

The probability of getting diseases and health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease rises with obesity. Even a slight weight loss can help or even end health issues brought on by obesity.

Obesity is diagnosed when your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher. Click here to calculate your BMI.

BMI offers a decent estimate of body fat for most individuals.

However, BMI does not directly measure body fat, so some people, like muscular athletes, may have an obese category BMI even though they don’t have surplus body fat.

By modifying your eating habits, and getting more exercise, you can assist yourself in losing weight. Prescription drugs and weight-loss surgery are further alternatives for controlling obesity.
