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 reduce life expectancy or increased health problems.

Obesity can lead to such things like blood pressure and Diabetes type too. High blood pressure weakens the heart and may cause heart attacks and stokes. It strains the muscles, joints and lungs...
