Among the prevailing worldwide epidemic ravaging our nations today, obesity stands as one of the top concerns, not just among adults, but also among children and young adults. Although the problem with obesity seems to be more cosmetic or physically related, the issue is complex according to medical analysis. It is a medical situation that exposes the patient to the risk of heart-related disease, like coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, end-stage renal disease, and even certain cancers. With over a quarter of people in America overweight, ten percent of these populations resort to medication as a remedy. Even though many people in our society are aware of the dangers of obesity, caused by consuming more calories than they burn through exercise and normal daily activities, some of them give up on the fight to stay. There are many factors responsible for overweight, and managing that weight is often very difficult. Some of these are hereditary or genetic, hormonal, metabolic, environmental, and personal dieting, and exercise choices.
