Obesity means that a person has a high percentage of body weight. Weight may also come from muscle, bone, or body water. But both mean that the body weight is more than what should be the healthy weight in accordance with the height. Obesity starts when a person consumes more calories than he/she can burn. The factors affecting weight include overeating, eating calorically dense foods, genetic make-up, and low physical activity. Excessive weight may be a cause of many health risks like diabetes, stroke, arthritis, heart disease, and some types of cancers.
