Obesity means the excessive amount of fat in your body. Obesity is one of the chronic diseases because your body has excess amount of fat that is not necessary for you and has excessive amount of carbohydrates and nutrients and anything that exceeds the requirements leads to problems. When the weight of the person is not equal to the required weight they should have then you are obese, the weight should be according to your height. Some people cannot avoid obesity and they do not understand the consequences until the obesity leads them to some serious health conditions. Obesity has now become one of the major problems in the world and serious health issues occur due to this. It has now become a deadly disease in many countries. In the USA the amount of the obese people has increased day by day. According to a research in 2015, almost around 40% of the people in U.S are obese with serious health conditions. There are many causes of obesity and hence its impacts are really negative for the people facing this disease.

The causes of obesity depends on many factors. Some of the causes of obesity include: one of the major cause of obesity is physical in activity. Most of the people do not have any physical activities now a days, most of the children’s waste their time on screen by sitting in one place, they do not have any habits of doing any exercises nor they have any interest, moreover the children are burdened with daily homework that keeps them intact in their homes and they cannot go out do play, same is the case with the adults they have been so busy in their jobs and in the household management that they do not find any time to do any exercises or any walk.

Another cause of obesity is overeating, most of the children and adults nowadays like to eat more and more fast food and oily things and junk food, these food attractions make them to eat more and more and try different and new food items every time. These attractions of the food leads them to overeating and this is one of the cause of the obesity, because the junk food and the fast food has much fat content and oil in it that leads to obesity.

Family lifestyle also matters a lot when it comes to obesity, because some families are fond of eating and trying different and unique dishes every time, eating has become a trend in their families and they eat in every little occasion, they celebrate every occasion by hanging out somewhere, having dinners and lunch, arranging barbeques every time, going to fast food restaurants on a daily basis, these family lifestyles and trends also leads to obesity.

Nowadays there are many health problems and people frequently visits the hospitals and to the doctors, and take medications, but medications also lead to obesity, because some medicines might have effect on your metabolism and increase your hunger, this causes the person to eat more and in this way he gains extra weight. Some medicines effect your metabolism in such a way that burns the calories in your bodies at much slower rate, not at the rate at which your body burns the fat normally. This also leads to obesity when your calories are not burned properly at a faster rate they began to store in your body and the result is obesity. Some medicines stores and absorbs different nutrients and sugar in your body that also leads to obesity and also some medicines react with your bodies and you become allergic and this can lead to obesity. So, medicines are also the cause of obesity.

There are some diseases as well that also might lead to obesity, these diseases include Polystic ovary syndrome, hypothyroidism, Cushing’s syndrome and insulin resistance, these are the disease that also leads to obesity.

Some people might have some genetics and hormonal problems, because some genes might have the effect on your body metabolism and they can affect the amount of food that a body can store.

Also, some social, economic and financial issues lead to depression and anxiety and the person wants to eat more and more to overcome with this anxiety problem or to cope up with depression, this also leads to obesity.

These are the causes of obesity; obesity has many causes but these are some of the major cause of obesity.

Obesity leads to any problems and have many negative impacts. The death rate has increased all over the world due to the problems that are raised by obesity. Some of the negative impacts of obesity on the health of the people include: High Blood Pressure also called hypertension is one of the problem that occurs with obesity.

Another problem that occurs due to the obesity is High Cholesterol, this disease occurs because the children and the adult are eating high cholesterol, and oily fast food on a daily basis.

Heart attack is also one of the leading cause due to obesity, because eating high cholesterol food increase your heart beat and develop the coronary artery disease and the persons who survive the first heart attack, the obesity increase the chances of the second heart attack. So obesity is much dangerous disease.

It leads to the pulmonary diseases which includes the abnormal function of the body, Obstructive sleep apnea and the hypoventilation syndrome.

Obesity also leads to hair fall because the amount of carbohydrates, nutrients and other fats have increased in our body and the excess amount of anything leads to destruction, the hair are getting the excessive amount pf everything that the hair cannot support and eventually the hairs start to fall.

Obesity also leads to insomnia, depression and anxiety. The more obese people depend on the help of the people, so they feel helplessness, isolation, lack of motivation, Negative Self-worth and the self-consciousness because obesity leads to many social problems, the people make fun of you and these factors then leads you to depression and anxiety and all of the above factors.

So we have seen that obesity has negative effects on the people and their health and many people are facing some serious health problems.

The measure to control the obesity includes: the people must eat healthy fruits, nuts and the whole grain and healthy food. We should promote to do exercise and go to the gyms, because daily exercising will lead to a healthy body and healthy body leads to a healthy mind and the people will work more efficiently. The use of fast food should be cut down in different countries or we should introduce the fast food with more healthy items. Introduce vegetable oil in the restaurants rather than animal based fats. Family eating habits and trends should be changed and they should focus on being heathier rather than focusing on eating foods with high fats, they can eat food with health alternatives. Be a role model for other people, start eating healthy food and exercising daily, inspire people either your health or fitness.

 Develop eating habits in your child, ask them eat slowly and make them indulge in some physical activities. Avoid the use of processed food prepare fresh food at home with fresh items. Limit the intake of frizzy rinks because they add more sugar in your body. Drink more and more water this will regulate your metabolism and will increase your food digestion. Add more proteins in your diet like meat, fish and eggs they will keep your health and avoid you from being obese. Get enough sleep set a routine for yourself, because disturbed routine also makes you obese, eat in a proper time and sleep properly and do exercise in the morning this will keep you healthy and avoid you from becoming obese. Obesity has caused many problems and has many negative impacts but we have to find some solution to overcome with the obesity and keep our self-healthy and fit
