About this book
Why have I become overweight? Is my obesity a symptom of an underlying illness, or is obesity itself a disease? Can obesity lead to other health problems? Can I overcome obesity?
We often know that we are overweight, and this awareness gives rise to many questions. We begin to experience the disadvantages of obesity: our movements become slower, we face ridicule in social settings, and we are labelled lazy or greedy. These experiences can also lead to emotional distress and depression.
The medical community is increasingly recognising obesity as a disease. However, people living with obesity must also understand that it is a health condition that deserves attention and appropriate care. This book explains that adopting a suitable lifestyle can help people manage obesity and improve their health.
What exactly is obesity? How can you tackle it? What precautions can help prevent associated health complications? How should you plan your diet and exercise?
By addressing common myths and misconceptions about obesity and its treatment, this book encourages readers to adopt a scientific, informed, optimistic and positive approach to managing their health.
