Obesity
Obesity is not a simple condition of eating too much. It is now recognized that obesity is a serious, chronic disease.
Causes of Obesity
Obesity could be a combination of the following:
The genes you inherited from your parents
How well your body turns food into energy
Your eating and exercising habits
Your surroundings
Psychological factors
Consequences of Obesity
If you are obese, severely obese, or morbidly obese, you may have:
Major health risks
Shorter Life Expectancy
Compared to people of normal weight, obese people have a 50% to 100% increased risk of dying prematurely
Obese people have more risk for:
Diabetes (type 2)
Joint problems (e.g., arthritis)
High blood pressure
Heart disease
Gallbladder problems
Certain types of cancer (breast, uterine, colon)
Digestive disorders (e.g., gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GORD)
Breathing difficulties (e.g., sleep apnea, asthma)
Psychological problems such as depression
Problems with fertility and pregnancy
Incontinence
Risks to psychological and social well-being
Negative self-image
Social isolation
Discrimination
Difficulties with day-to-day living
Normal tasks become harder when you are obese, as movement is more difficult
You tend to tire more quickly and you find yourself short of breath
Public transport seats, telephone booths, and cars may be too small for you
You may find it difficult to maintain personal hygiene
Treatment
Non-surgical intervention:
Many people who are unhealthily overweight have tried in vain to lose excess weight. The market is overflowing with all kinds of slimming diets, cures and products that advertise success. But many studies show that diets and slimming aids rarely succeed in helping people achieve the desired result of long lasting weight reduction. In fact, many people who have tried dieting gain back more than they lost when they go off the diet.
Surgery
If you have tried diets, cures, tablets or medicines and they haven't helped you lose and maintain a healthy weight, one option may be an operation to artificially reduce the amount your stomach can hold and decrease your appetite.
