Health And Obesity - Are You Or Is Someone You Love Obese?

When we think about health obesity is one of the primary causes that make the equation go wrong. Majority of health issues that can be seen in children and young adults either have to do with the food they consume or due to lack of physical exercise. Bad food habits such as eating junk day in and day out plus lack of physical exercises to burn calories both sum up to health obesity issues.

Sadly, while more than half a population of kids starve to death or are food deprived, there is another fraction of kids that suffer from obesity epidemic due to excessive consumption of food. Due to some bizarre reason, many people do not seem to consider excessive eating and being overweight as a health hazard. If the parents are obese, it is much more likely that the children too will become obese and the issue has everything to do with food habits in the family setting.

Health obesity issues were not considered very serious back in the day but from recently, doctors, parents and even children have become aware of its implication. Researchers predict that we are likely to experience health obesity issues due to an overweight generation. How do you think it will affect the world if all young adults start falling ill of one chronic condition or the other? What if the mortality rate of premature deaths increases? How would that affect the current young generations children in another decade to come? Are we about to see a world with orphans or maybe a world without any children at all?

According to a research more than 300,000 Americans pass away each year due to health obesity related causes; the more overweight a person is the more at risk he/she may be. Similarly, heart diseases such as heart attacks, congestive heart failure, angina, chest pain are the common culprits that cause death in many people who are at risk from health obesity.

Another aspect of health obesity has to do with the psychological well being of the person and his/her self esteem. Many over-weight individuals try to pretend that they are happy but deep inside they either suffer from low self esteem or feel bad about eating. On another ground, they may neglect themselves where they would keep on eating although they know that overweight will bring forth health issues. There is another type of health obesity sufferers who take up excessive eating in order to combat depression. But sadly, over eating is by no means an answer to depression.
