The problem with obesity

There is so much obesity and America is the number one country with the most people who are obese. Obesity means when fat becomes so extensive that it starts affecting the health. The BMI (Body Mass Index) should be between 18.5-24.9 kg/m for a normal BMI. Overweight is between 25-29.9 kg/m. Most health problems that occur are cardiovascular disease, diabetes type 2 which is the worst one to have, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, types of cancer, and it can reduce your life expectancy. How you get obese is when you take in too much energy (food) then what your metabolism can handle and also with the lack of physical activity. Most people who are obese have it from a genetic, medical, or psychiatric condition. It has become a really bad problem now that you see younger children become obese. Most of it has to do with video games, instead of going outside to waste all their energy and working their intake they took in that day they sit inside and play video games all day long. A lot of it also has to do with fast food places. It is so convenient to just stop by on the way home or on your lunch break to a fast food place that no one is getting the nutrition they need instead they get all the fatty foods and no calcium, Vitamins, and etc. Now the statistics are 80% of offspring from two obese parents are obese versus 10% of normal weight offspring had normal weight parents. The medical part is some medicines can make you can weight. For example birth control, insulin, steroids, hormonal contraception, and etc. The psychiatric part is it is not a disorder it’s just an illness. How we can fix all this are a balanced diet and a physical exercise. But it's not that easy most of the time that means you has to manage your own calorie intake for the day and this is really hard for some people. You can also take drugs to maintain a weight loss. You can take a pill that absorbs fat or you can do surgery where they can remove part of your stomach so you can get fuller faster, but that can also be dangerous and can lead to health problems to. So what I would stick to is the nutrious diet and exercise, because it is the most affective way to lose weight. Obesity has become a problem in the U.S. no doubt about it.
