  Obesity
occurs when a person has too much body fat. Obesity
is not the same as being overweight; a person is considered
obese when they weigh 20% or more of the maximum desirable
weight for their height. Current estimates place more
than 35% of Americans in the obese category. The primary
reason for alarm is that obesity increases an individual's
risk of developing a variety of life-threatening diseases.
If you believe that
you are obese, now is the time to do something about
it. Obesity is tagged as morbid because it is associated
with progressive, serious and debilitating disease.
It is a major contributor to a numerous number of
diseases and many other serious disorders. The social,
psychological and economic consequences of morbid
obesity are devastating. Prejudice against the obese
is common in our society.
Weight Loss Surgery
for morbid obesity is the proven method that has resulted
in long term maintenance of weight loss and reduction
in the associated diseases, with marked improvement
in quality of life, social interaction, psychological
well-being, work opportunities,and economic conditions.
On the other hand, those patients who does not want
to undergo surgery opt for Weight Loss Programs that
helps cure a patient's obesity problem through natural
means. |
