CONSEQUENCES and PREVENTION of OBESITY
What is obesity? Obesity is a medical
condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy or increased health problems. Now-a-days, it is mostly seen in adolescents who are really addicted to eating .
WHAT CAUSES A PERSON TO BECOME OBESE
Obesity occurs when, over a long period of time, the amount of food we put into our bodies each day is not used. That energy has to go somewhere, so our bodies store it as fat.

diet The United States had the
highest availability with 3,654 calories per person in 1996. This increased further in 2003 to 3,754. During the late 1990s Europeans had 3,394 calories per person, in the developing areas of Asia there were 2,648 calories per person, and in sub-Saharan Africa people had 2,176 calories per person. Total calorie consumption has been found to be related to obesity.
Sedentary health
• A sedentary lifestyle plays a significant role in obesity. Worldwide there has been a large shift towards less physically demanding work, and currently at least 30% of the world's population gets insufficient exercise.
• In children, there appear to be declines in levels of physical activity due to less walking and physical education .
genetics• Like many other medical conditions, obesity
is the result of an interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Polymorphisms in various genes controlling metabolism predispose to obesity when sufficient food energy present. As of 2006, more than 41 of these sites on the human genome have been linked to the development of obesity when a favourable environment is present People with two copies of the FTO gene (fat mass and obesity associated gene) have been found on average to weigh 3–4 kg more and have a 1.67-fold greater risk of obesity compared with those without the risk allele. The percentage of obesity that can be attributed to genetics varies, depending on the population examined, from 6% to 85%.
Other illness
• Certain physical and mental illnesses and the pharmaceutical substances used to treat them can increase risk of obesity. Medical illnesses that increase obesity risk include in the DSM-IVR as a psychiatric illness. The risk of overweight and obesity is higher in patients with several rare genetic syndromes (listed above) as well as some congenital or acquired conditions: hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, growth hormone deficiency, and the eating disorders: binge eating disorder and night eating syndrome.

The widespread presences of unhealthy snacks, sedentary lives and the loss of "common food culture".
In September 2005, France passed a law banning soda-and-snack-selling vending machines from public schools and misleading television and print food advertising.
Researchers in France have said that poor children were up to three times more likely to be obese compared with wealthier children.
France also put in place 1.5% tax on the advertising budgets of food companies that did not encourage healthy eating.

Prevention of
Obesity
Prevention….
Stay active. The most common way to prevent obesity is to live an active lifestyle.
Eat healthy. The FDA recommends that the average person consume 2,000 calories per day .
Watch your weight. You should weigh yourself once a week to monitor your health.
Keep junk food out of your house. Only eat when you are hungry . Only eating
when your body signals allow you to eat can be a great way to prevent obesity.
1. Exercise regularly
• Physical activity is a component of energy balance that is particularly important in the pathogenesis of obesity and in its treatment.
• According to the American College of Sports Medicine, you need to get 150 to 250 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week to prevent weight gain. Moderately intense physical activities include fast walking and swimming.
2. Know and avoid the food traps that cause you to eat
• Identify situations that trigger out-of-control eating.
• Try keeping a journal and write down
what you eat, how much you eat, when you eat, how you're feeling and how hungry you are. After a while, you should see patterns emerge. You can plan ahead and develop strategies for handling these types of situations and stay in control of your eating behaviours.
3. Monitor your weight regularly
• People who weigh themselves at least once a week are more successful in keeping off excess pounds.
• Monitoring your weight can tell you whether your efforts are working and can help you detect small weight gains before they become big problems.
4. Be Consistent• Sticking to your healthy-weight plan
during the week, on the weekends, and amidst vacation and holidays as much as possible increases your chances of long-term success.
• Regardless of how you do it, make sure you do everything you can to steer clear of obesity. Obesity risks range from heart attacks to diabetes.
