If your body mass index (BMI), a measurement obtained by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of the person's height in metres, exceeds 30 kg/m2 you may be in the danger zone with excess body fat.
Excess body fat increases the likelihood of various diseases, particularly heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. Excess body fat is most commonly caused by a combination of excessive food energy intake and lack of physical activity.
- Overeating + lack of exercise = Excess body fat!
- According to the World Health Organization, there are more than a billion adults with excess body fat, and at least 300 million of them grossly overweight.
- Our modern diet with its excess of sugar, combined with a lack of exercise, has created the perfect storm for weight gain and increased the risk of many diseases including diabetes.
- We currently face a worldwide pandemic of a grossly overweight population and associated medical conditions.
