What is Obesity? Scientific studies indicate that obesity is linked to increased sickness and death rates. Hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, gall bladder disease, back pain, arthritis, abnormal pulmonary function, and sleep apnea are physical problems intensified by obesity. Obesity is a global problem, which affects about 20 to 25% of American adults and 15 to 20% of Europeans. Achieving and maintaining proper body weight may prevent the health risks of being overweight What is
ideal body weight? The most common measurement of obesity is based on the use of the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale. The BMI is the ratio of weight over height squared. The American Institute for Cancer Research's guideline suggests that a person maintain a BMI between 18.5 and 25. This is considered to be within ideal body weight range. A BMI between 25 to 27 presents a potential health risk, and a BMI above 30 is considered to be a significant health risk. How to lose weight
