Environmental, societal and life-style factors also can cause obesity. Some health problems can increase because of obesity.
· Cardiovascular disease (mainly heart disease and stroke) — already the world’s number one cause of death, killing 17 million people each year.
· Diabetes (type 2) — which has rapidly become a global epidemic.
· Musculoskeletal disorders — especially osteoarthritis.
· Some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon).
The World Health Organization (WHO) provides a number of facts on obesity, including that globally in 2005:
· Approximately 1.6 billion adults (age 15+) were overweight
· At least 400 million adults were obese
So be aware from Obesity. Measure your body weight every week. Do regular exercises as well. Eat most suitable foods for your body. Walk few kilometers for a day.
