Abstract

Obesity is a long-lasting condition marked by an excessive build-up of fat in the body, elevating the possibility of numerous health issues like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and certain cancers. This condition arises from an imbalance in energy, meaning an individual consumes more calories through their diet than what they expend via physical activity. Preventive measures involve maintaining a nutritious diet, engaging in regular physical exercises, and making lifestyle adjustments, while treatment options may consist of medication and surgical procedures.
