Obesity Care

Obesity is  caused when large amount of body fat has collected  which shows the adverse effects on health. It is defined by body mass index (BMI)  that is further evaluated in terms of fat distribution  based on waist–hip ratio and total cardiovascular risk factors. It is caused by a combination of excessive food intake  that results in the lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility.  There are less chances to occur obesity by genes, endocrine disorders, medications, or mental disorder.The view  of the overweight people eat little yet  they gain weight due to a slow metabolism  that is not medically supported. On an average, obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their normal counterparts due to the energy  which is used to maintain an increased diet.
