What is obesity

  Obesity used to be understood in fairly simple terms: excess body weight resulting from eating too much and exercising too little, due in large part to a lack of willpower or self-restraint.

Fortunately for the millions of American adults who are overweight, obesity is now regarded as a chronic medical disease with serious health implications caused by a complex set of factors.

How it began..

Obesity results from a complex interaction of genetic, behavioral and environmental factors causing an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. According to the National Institutes of Health, an increase in body weight of 20 percent or more above desirable weight is the point at which excess weight becomes an established health hazard. Lower levels of excess weight can also constitute a health risk, particularly in the presence of other disorders like diabetes, hypertension and heart disease

Prescription medications currently prescribed for weight loss include:
1. Diethylpropion (Trade names: Tenuate, Tenuate dospan)
2. Mazindole (Trade name: Sanorex)
3.Orlistat (Trade name: Xenical)
4.Phendimetrazine (Trade names: Bontril, Plegine, Prelu-2, X-Troxine)
5.Phentermine (Trade name: Adipex-P, Fastin, Ionamin, Oby-trim)

When applying for medical insurance you will probably be asked about your diet as this aspect of your life has a huge impact on your general well being and health. Many illnesses and diseases are affected by the way we control our diets. Diabetes is one of these.

Diabetics are at serious risk of heart disease. I know this because my own cousin is an insulin-dependent diabetic and survived two major heart attacks by the age of 33. She was warned that this is one of those things that can happen due to the strain on the body of coping with the diabetes. But there is hope for alleviating the threat. Eat chocolate. No, Im not joking.

Studies have found that an enriched form of cocoa that contains higher than usual levels of natural antioxidants called flavanols had a positive effect on patients with stage 2 diabetes. Scientists in Germany have
