OBESITY By: Sameh Jabari, Faris AlRawashdeh, Omar Goussous Samer ALFanek .
What is obesity Obesity can be defined simply as the build up of excess, unwanted fat in the human body, due to various life decisions and actions based on personal lifestyles. The upcoming talk will include all of the main points following this topic ranging from its causes, consequences either globally or nationally and the ways we may eventually overcome this problem.
What are the biggest causes for obesity One of the biggest causes of obesity is when an imbalance occurs between average calories consumed, and the amount of calories burnt through a set of activities performed throughout a day. This means that when the calories consumed are more than the overall calories burnt in a day, it will consequently lead to undesired extras in the body. Another cause that seems very crucial to mention is the lack of exercise in an individual's lifestyle. Missing on sports and exercise in general is a major cause in the increase of a sick population.
What are the consequences for obesity (individual wise ) People who have obesity, compared to those with a healthy weight, are at increased risk for many serious diseases and health conditions like : High blood pressure, high cholesterol which are risk factors for heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and Low self-esteem and lower self-reported quality of life etc.
What are the consequences for obesity(community wise ) Globally, there has been a shift in food consumption patterns towards more energy-dense foods at the same time as significant reduction in physical activity. Overweight and obese people are at significantly higher risk for non-communicable diseases. Obesity has a major impact on national economies by reducing productivity and life expectancy and increasing disability and health care costs.
Solution to solving obesity To this day the obese population is continuously growing due to lack of awareness on this spreading issue. The one way to solve this problem isn t by changing personal lifestyles individually, but by somehow reaching the biggest growing sick communities and raising awareness among them, by going to schools and informing them about this enormous issue and doing conferences in an efficient, effective matter in order to eventually see the difference in the results leaning to more of a positive method of living.
