What Does Obesity Mean?

Obesity is a state wherein an individual has more body weight than required due to increased deposition of fats. Along with making you look shapeless and plump, obesity also gives rise to a number of other life-threatening diseases.

A person’s ideal weight can be calculated by taking into consideration several factors such as his height, bone density, sex and age.

Causes of Obesity

Obesity can occur due to multiple reasons like overeating, stress, unhealthy eating habits, spending long hours in front of the computer or watching television. Inactive lifestyle plays a major role in making a person overweight. Those who do not perform any kind of physical activity and love eating junk food every now and then are most likely to become obese sooner or later in their life.

Side effects of medicines can also lead to obesity.

As a result of eating unhealthy food and lack of exercise, carbohydrates get deposited in the body tissues and muscles, which are then converted into fats. Those who have a bad sleeping schedule are also prone to increased body weight.
