The Obesity Epidemic
Obesity is a common problem in the United States. Larger portion sizes, easy access to fast food, processed foods with hidden fats, and lack of exercise have all contributed to weight gain and obesity.
Are Diet and Exercise Enough?
It’s often difficult to lose weight with diet and exercise. Strict diets are often difficult to maintain, which may lead to weight regaining when you stop the diet. Obesity can make regular exercise difficult due to breathing issues, joint pain, foot pain, and other problems.
How Obesity Affects You
Obesity is a major contributing factor in the development of chronic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease. Obesity can also make daily life difficult due to mobility and breathing issues and social stigma. Obesity can result in anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
