OVERWEIGHT AND CHRONIC DISEASES

Gone are the days when we used to congratulate each other for gaining weight, yes, when being obese was viewed as a symbol of status. Today many of us know that weighing more than your normal weight is a risk factor for a number of chronic diseases and that obesity is a diseases in itself and that it is also a major risk factor for other chronic diseases.

Overweight can lead to a number of chronic diseases including sleeping problems, joint problems, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, gallstones, heartburn, etc. With such a list of plagues that can come as a result of being overweight, it is obvious that being overweight or obese can shorten one’s life or incapacitate someone from living a productive life.
