UK Male Obesity Treatments
Obesity is not a simple condition of eating too much. It is now
recognised that obesity is a serious, chronic disease. No human
condition — not race, religion, gender, ethnicity or disease state —
compares to obesity in prevalence and prejudice, mortality and
morbidity, sickness and stigma.
To most people, the term "obesity"
means to be very overweight. Health professionals define "overweight" as
an excess amount of body weight that includes muscle, bone, fat, and
water. "Obesity" specifically refers to an excess amount of body fat.
Some people, such as bodybuilders or other athletes with a lot of
muscle, can be overweight without being obese.
Everyone needs a certain amount of body fat for stored energy, heat
insulation, shock absorption, and other functions. As a rule, women have
more body fat than men. Most health care providers agree that men with
more than 25 percent body fat and women with more than 30 percent body
fat are obese.
Now recognised as a medical condition,
Health Express have
a comprehensive guide to obesity and how to get help.
