THE PROBLEM

OBESITY

  • Being overweight and/or suffering obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a high risk to both physical and psychological health. A body mass index (BMI) over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 is obese. These treatable diseases have grown to epidemic proportions, with over 4 million people dying each year because of being overweight, obese and the complications associated with these conditions.
  • Being overweight and obese are major risk factors for several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and stroke, which are the leading causes of death worldwide. Being overweight can also lead to many metabolic diseases such as diabetes and its associated conditions. Rates of diabetes have quadrupled since around the world since 1980. Carrying excess weight can lead to musculoskeletal disorders including osteoarthritis. Obesity is also associated with some cancers, including endometrial, breast, ovarian, prostate, liver, and colon.
  • Encouragingly, weight loss is strongly associated with improvements in physical and psychosocial status and function. These positive changes are often most profound among those who have lost large percentages of their weight, as is often seen with bariatric surgery.
  • Don’t delay and let us help start making positive changes in your life today.  The best version of you is yet to come!
