What is Obesity?

Obesity is defined as having an excessive amount of body fat that can negatively affect your health. It is usually measured by calculating the Body Mass Index (BMI), where a BMI of 30 or higher is classified as obese. Obesity is not only a cosmetic issue but a serious health concern that can increase the risk of developing conditions such as:

Type 2 diabetes
Heart disease
High blood pressure
Stroke
Sleep apnea
Certain cancers
Joint pain and arthritis
Fatty liver disease

Understanding obesity and its impact on your health is the first step toward improving your well-being. At DasMD Clinic, we work with you to address the root causes of obesity and create a treatment plan that helps you achieve long-term health improvements.

Causes of Obesity

There are several factors that contribute to the development of obesity, including:

Poor diet: A diet high in processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats can contribute to weight gain.
Lack of physical activity: A sedentary lifestyle with little physical activity can make it difficult to maintain a healthy weight.
Genetics: Family history and genetic factors can play a role in your predisposition to obesity.
Hormonal imbalances: Conditions like hypothyroidism can slow down metabolism and contribute to weight gain.
Emotional factors: Stress, depression, and emotional eating can lead to overeating and weight gain.
Medications: Some medications can contribute to weight gain, such as certain antidepressants, corticosteroids, and antipsychotics.
