Obesity seems to be an ongoing problem in many places in the world at the moment and a lot of the blame is placed on the amount of takeaway restaurants there end up being available.
Some people will also say that obesity is a disease because of how bad it seems to be in many countries.
Would you go as far as to say that obesity is a disease?
Obesity as such can't be considered a disease as long as the person is healthy in all other ways. I have seen many obese and overweight people being healthy. And I have seen people with ideal body and weight, bur suffering from many diseases.
Having said that it's our moral responsibility to be respectful to our body and take good care of it. One can't let bad lifestyle make them obese. Obesity definitely is a big cause for many more diseases and serious health issues
Don't be deceived by anything. Obesity might not be a disease per say but it is a medical condition that predisposes you to other sundry health conditions. Just like people with high blood pressure and diabetes are susceptible to stroke, people that are obese are susceptible to cardiac arrest. There is nothing healthy about being obessed. If one is, they should take conscious efforts to cut it down.
I totally agree with the above post. That's what even I said that in my earlier post. It's not a disease as such, but it can be a precursor for many. So, one can't make an excuse for staying obese. It's moral and responsibility towards yourself to do every bit to maintain a healthy body weight.
Healthy body weight is actually important. We can not undermine the importance of that. Body weight is crucial and that's ehy that's the first thing that they check when we go for any medical checkup. Our body weight is indicative of many health factors.
It is not us who classify it as a disease, it is doctors in the world that classify it as a disease. So we could not give an opinion opposite to them depending on our feelings.
The excess fat in obessed people can cause insulin resistance which exposes a person to chronic diabetes. Obesity on it's own is a precursor to diabetes. I have seen situations where obesity has caused hormonal imbalance in persons. Some people are predisposed to certain types of cancer as a result of obesity.
A lot of guys like bigger women and I am against fat shaming, obviously, seeing appearance as subjective. However, though, too much weight can hurt health and it's something that should be discussed with the person, certain loved ones and their doctor.
