Obesity is a chronic health condition characterized by excessive body fat accumulation that can harm overall health. It significantly increases the risk of developing conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, certain cancers, and joint problems.

Obesity is not just about weight—it’s a complex medical issue involving genetics, lifestyle, hormonal balance, and environmental factors. Effective treatment requires more than a simple diet plan; it needs a comprehensive and personalized approach.

Obesity can result from multiple factors, including:

• Unhealthy eating habits and high-calorie diets

• Lack of physical activity

• Genetic predisposition

• Hormonal imbalances such as hypothyroidism or PCOS

• Emotional eating and stress

• Certain medications that promote weight gain

If untreated, obesity can lead to:

• Type 2 diabetes

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Cardiovascular diseases

• Sleep apnea and breathing problems

• Osteoarthritis and joint pain

• Fatty liver disease

• Infertility and pregnancy complications

• Mental health issues like depression and anxiety
