Obesity and Weight Management
Obesity is a condition where a person has too much body fat. This can happen when a person eats more calories than their body needs and doesn’t get enough exercise to burn off those calories. People who are obese are at a higher risk for health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and joint pain.
To manage weight, it’s essential to have a balanced diet, which means eating a variety of nutritious foods in appropriate portions. Regular physical activity is also crucial for maintaining a healthy weight. It helps burn calories, build muscle, and improve overall fitness. Weight management involves finding a balance between the calories consumed and the calories burned through physical activity.
