Obesity - a concern that needs to be addressed

Don't you love your life ?
An obese man sitting on a beach. Close-up of fat under the skin and fat around the organs.Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health. It is most commonly caused by a combination of ;
  • excessive food intake
  • lack of physical activity 
  • genetic susceptibility
This problem seems to be small and does not have instant reaction but BELIEVE ME it has long term complications.

People are generally considered obese when their Body Mass Index (BMI) ,a measurement obtained by dividing a persons weight by the square of the persons height ,is over 30.

           
               Body Mass Index = weight (in kg)
                                               height square(in m)

It's high time to fight against it. Some of the measures that can be taken are ;
  • eat more fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains.
  • exercise, even moderately, for at least 30 minutes a day
  • cut down your consumption of fatty and sugary foods
  • use vegetable based oils rather than animal based oils
''Don't let it, Just Bat it and also Test it. ''
If you are cautious about your health ,then calculate and take reasonable steps.

Comment in about your health status.
