Obesity is a illnes, where a person suffers from such a high weight that it brings his health in danger. Obesity is caused by over eating, eating the wrong sort of food and the current western lifestyle. In the last few decades, our lifestyle changed radically. For instance: the average adult has a car, students go to school with public transport and little kids are driven everywhere by there parents. A few decades ago, people didn’t had acces to this kind of transport and they where forced to walk or cycle to their destination. This radicall change causes people to put on weight and that has a lot of consequences. For instance, being overweight increases the risk of getting diabetes. Not all people that are overweight are diabetic and not al diabetics are overweight. Nevertheless, its a fact that being overweight increases the chance that you might get it and diabetes in turn, increases the chance on many other things. For instance, if you have diabetes you have a higher chance off suffering from eye problems, blindness, heart disease, foot complications, skin problems, nerve problems, stomach and intestine problems, joint problems, kidney complications and brain complications. The complications that you suffer from, can again result in other complications. Imagine that you suffer from blindness, this can cause you to be unable to go out and socialize, resulting in you being lonely and maybe getting depressed. At long last this depression could provoke you to commit suicide. But you could also suffer from foot complications, resulting in you being unable to sport. This could again result in you putting on even more weight end so the viscious cirle goes on and on.
