I'm always surprised at how many people suffer from obesity in the US. It's so unhealthy to carry all that extra body fat!
I unfortunately suffer from obesity, it's tough.
A few cases of obesity are caused primarily by genes or some medications.
What about diet or lack of exercise?
Absolutely. The most common cause of obesity is a combination of excessive food intake and a lack of exercise.
What are some steps to battle obesity?
The best way to prevent or combat it is through a combination of social changes and personal choices like eating less and exercising more.
Does sugar intake contribute to the prevalence of obesity?
Definitely, but only because sugary drinks tend to have a lot of calories! They even call sweetened beverages "liquid candy". It's that bad!
