What kind of diseases do obesity cause?

There are three kinds of diseases that cause Obesity:

• cancer
• stroke
• diabetes

Waist circumference

BMI does not take into account the differences between fat and lean tissue, nor distinguishes between different forms of adiposity, some of which may be associated more closely with cardiovascular risk.

A better understanding of the biology of adipose tissue has shown that central obesity (male type obesity or apple type) has a link with cardiovascular disease, only with BMI.

The absolute waist circumference (> 102 cm in men and> 88 cm in women) or waist-hip ratio (> 0.9 for men and> 0.85 for women) are used as measures of central obesity.

In a cohort of nearly 15,000 subjects in the study National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III, the waist circumference explained that BMI significantly improved risk factors for obesity-related health when metabolic syndrome was taken as a measure.

What are the causes of obesity???? :O

The Simple Truth

The core reason people become overweight or obese is fairly simple:

If you take in more calories than are required by your body on a daily basis (known as "energy imbalance"), those surplus calories will be converted into fat.
If this energy imbalance continues for an extended period of time, it will lead to overweight or obesity.

How prevent obesity

How prevent obesity

1. Stay active. The most common way to prevent obesity is to live an active lifestyle.
2. Eat healthy. At least you can consume 2,000 calories per day in foods such as dairy, meats, breads, fruits, vegetables and legumes. This can help you to prevent the obesity. 
3. Watch your weight. You should weigh yourself once a week to monitor your health. If you notice that you are starting to gain some weight, you should take appropriate measures to lose that weight. Investing in a scale for the home is recommended.
4. Drink water. Many times people will mistake dehydration for hunger signals in the body. Water cleanses and detoxifies all the impurities in your system.
