In our society obesity is a consequence of many problems like anxiety, fast food, bad feeding and other problems. When people have one of these situations they can’t solve their problems in the right way because is a long process. For this reason people begin to gain weight but also this situation becomes the worst challenge of their lives. Obesity is one of the main health problems in adults and children. In the last century obesity was not a very common problem because people had better feeding than now questioning how we feed in this moment.
Obesity is a medical condition in which excess fat has accumulated to the extent that it has a negative effect. For the doctors, obesity has many causes in this moment. First is an In active Lifestyle, many people in the world aren't very physically active. One reason for this is that many people spend hours in front of TVs and computers. The second is the genes and family, sometimes your genes also may affect the amount of fat you store in your body and where on your body you carry the extra fat but the other reason is when children have the same habits of their parents. Other reasons is health conditions, when people have a problem and affect your body as underactive thyroid , Cushing 's syndrome and polycystic ovarian syndrome and finally the medicines are one of the most important cause of obesity because some medicines may cause you to gain weight. These medicines include some corticosteroids, antidepressants, and seizure medicines but with these drugs you can increase your appetite.
The most important problem when you have this condition is that your body undergoes many changes in which your heart, stomach and brain are affected in a negative way. In North America the USA is the country with the highest rate of obesity but in Latin America many countries have obesity. On February 21, 2015 The Organization Global Health wrote an article with a list of the countries with highest rate of this problem. In the first place was Mexico with 32,8 %, in the second place was Venezuela with 30,8 % and in the third place was Argentina with 29,4 % but now this organization has written a new article in which Chile is the first country in south America with obesity. One example is Manuel Uribe. He was 18 years, he lived in Mexico and his weight was 560 kilos; he died last may for cardiac arrhythmia. Before he died he wanted to change his lifestyle but his excessive weight was a big challenge. He had a lot of health problems which made it more difficult to lose weight without his body he suffering some unbalance. He could not overcome his problem but you are still on time.
Many people with this problem in the world live in developing countries where the different causes are poverty, violence, corruption and unemployment. One of these countries is Colombia where one of every two Colombians is obese but one article of El Tiempo gave an alarming statistic where 51 % of the people in Colombia have this problem. But also In the children obesity is one of the most common diseases in this moment. In 2013 42 million of children have obesity but the scientists believe that if current trends continue the number of child and teenagers who are overweight will increase to 70 million by 2025.
When people have overweight or obesity it’s very difficult to lose weight but it’s not impossible. You need to do three things; first you should go to the doctor because this person can help people to create a balance diet. What things you can eat or you can’t and most importantly the doctor checks your progress and if the diet that you do is not affecting your body. The second thing is that you should go to the gym and with a personal trainer who can create a routine with which you can lose weight slowly; and finally, think that your family can be the best option in this progress and don’t forget two things, first you never give up and second The future depends on what you do today, Gandhi.
In this moment obesity is one of most common diseases but also it’s one of the learning causes of death. I think when people have this problem they never think that obesity is normal in their lives. They should find a solution and the most important thing is not to give up because if you want to change you can do. You need to find the correct road and lose weight and don’t forget One should eat to live not live to eat at.
