Obesity...


Obesity???

Obesity means that you have an unhealthy amount of body fat. Everyone needs some body fat, but too much fat can cause health problems.

The main causes of being overweight or obese are eating too much and/or not being active enough. If you eat more calories than your body burns up, the extra calories are stored as fat. Everyone has some stored fat. Too much fat results in being overweight or obese. Other factors that may affect your weight include your genes (obesity tends to run in families), your metabolism (how your body processes food), your racial/ethnic group, and your age. Sometimes an illness or medicine can contribute to weight gain. Among factors of obesity are inheritance, old age, smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart-attack and stress.



Obesity in Brunei???

mMm~ yes!!! because heart disease is a major cause of death in Brunei. Cardiovascular diseases lead to 30 per cent of deaths every year in Brunei Darussalam. This was stated by the Acting Belait District Officer Awg Hj Mohamad bin Hj Abd Rahman.
