NTRODUCTION
Obesity...i would love to define it in my own terms and equally in a way I think would be best understood by my readers as being a disorder involving excessive body fat that increases the risk of health problems. This is one of the body disorders or should I say malfunction that is mostly given less attention
Maybe because some of the cases come as result of hereditary
DIAGNOSIS
diagnosing obesity is like counting the moon out of the stars, what I mean is that it is very obvious Usually self-diagnosable
Obesity occurs when a person's body mass index is 30 or greater. The main symptom is excessive body fat, which increases the risk of serious health problems.
People may experience:
Pain areas: in the back or joints
Also common: overweight, binge eating, fatigue, pot belly, or snoring(in this case this could very embarrassing) .Obesity has grew to be so common, for instance Nigeria records
More than 1.5 million cases per year the rates of Obesity have more than doubled since 1980.
Also Until 2014, among adults above 18 years old, more than 600 million people were suffering from Obesity .
At the same time, more than about 2,000,000,000 (two billion) adults were Overweight (Excess weight).
Moreover, child obesity rates are stunning. More than 41 million children below the age of five were overweight in 2014..
Obesed individual usually think their obesity is incurable and they then turn to feel stigmatized but I'm very positive that obesity is
Usually self-treatable
Usually self-diagnosable
Lab tests or imaging not required
TREATMENT.
There are many ways that we as an individual can wage a war against obesity. And I'll list out some measures :
First the therapy method :
A therapy focused on modifying harmful behaviours associated with psychological distress, this could go a long way in reducible weight
Another is exercise : this is the most highly accepted medium of checking weight and it's actually the most economical, this involves regularly for long walks, marathon, actively involving in sports Aerobic activity for 20–30 minutes 5 days a week improves cardiovascular health.
Another is ; checking of diet which involves, abstaining from food stuff with high fat content if symptoms still persist, consult the the help of a specialist .
With this measures, I think we could go a long way in eradicating OBESITY
