Help With Obesity
Obesity is not a simple condition of eating
too much. It is now recognised that obesity is a serious, chronic disease. No
human condition — not race, religion, gender, ethnicity or disease state —
compares to obesity in prevalence and prejudice, mortality and morbidity,
sickness and stigma.
To most people, the term "obesity" means to be
very overweight. Health professionals define "overweight" as an excess amount of
body weight that includes muscle, bone, fat, and water. "Obesity" specifically
refers to an excess amount of body fat. Some people, such as bodybuilders or
other athletes with a lot of muscle, can be overweight without being obese.
Everyone needs a certain amount of body
fat for stored energy, heat insulation, shock absorption, and other
functions. As a rule, women have more body fat than men. Most health
care providers agree that men with more than 25 percent body fat and
women with more than 30 percent body fat are obese.
