Obesity and Weight Metabolism

Obesity is a multifaceted, chronic, relapsing pandemic described as the abnormal or excessive accumulation of body fat metabolism caused by genetic, biochemical, microbiological, and environmental variables that promote a positive energy balance, mostly related with increased intake and decreased consumption. Overweight affects more than one-third of adults. Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, fatty liver disease, renal disease, and other health problems are all increased when you are overweight or obese. If you're having trouble losing weight, a balanced eating plan and regular physical activity may be able to help you lose weight and keep it off in the long run.
