Did you know that 1 in 8 people worldwide live with obesity, and 43% of adults are overweight, with 16% classified as obese? These staggering statistics highlight the growing obesity crisis, which affects millions of individuals across the globe, contributing to serious health risks such as heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.

Understanding Obesity:

Obesity occurs when a person has excessive body fat that can negatively affect their health. Being overweight or obese is determined by the Body Mass Index (BMI), a simple measurement based on height and weight. The higher the BMI, the higher the risk of developing health complications, including hypertension, stroke, and certain cancers.

The Impact of Obesity on Health, Obesity significantly increases the risk of developing serious conditions like:

• Heart Disease: High blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, and poor heart function.
• Type 2 Diabetes: Insulin resistance and difficulties in managing blood sugar levels.
• Sleep Apnea: Breathing difficulties during sleep, leading to a lack of restful sleep and fatigue.
• Joint Problems: Excess weight puts stress on joints, leading to arthritis and other musculoskeletal issues.
• Mental Health: The stigma of obesity can lead to depression, anxiety, and social isolation.
