Obesity is a great amount of fat that gathers to the degree where you become prone to diseases that can harm your health or even take a few years off of your life. The Department of Health predicts that, by 2010 around 6.6 million men will be obese compared to 6 million women (Dr Roger Henderson, GP). Many problems that occur with those who are obese are: high cholestrol, high blood pressure, difficulties breathing, and so much more. However, some people are unfortunate and are obese, but not by choice.
Although it is not a major main cause, some people do inherit obesity through genetics.(Some studies of adopted children indicate that adopted children tend to develop weight problems similar to their biological, rather than adoptive, parents.) Nonetheless families also share common dietary, physical exercise, attitude and lifestyle habits that may also aid to obesity. Few may also have a very slow metabalism and the amout of calories they take in, they do not burn off. Research has also shown that normal-weight children of obese parents may have a lower metabolic rate than normal-weight children of non-obese parents, which can lead to weight problems.
Society has a major role in obesity. We have so many fast food restuarants that have a great amount of fat in their food. Society also cause self esteem issues. Society shows an image in how one should look, and if you do not look like that it may cause some to have self esteem issues which may lead to depression which will then (may) lead to over eating.
