Obesity: Overview, Symptoms, Causes, Natural Treatments, and Medicine
Obesity is a serious, often overlooked, disabling chronic condition that now affects over one third of the U.S. population. Its most detrimental and costly health effects include type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. In extreme cases, morbid obesity can become a life-threatening illness known as end-stage obesity syndrome. Those who suffer from obesity (or who have a propensity to become obese due to genetic factors), need to pursue a lifelong commitment of weight management that includes a healthy lifestyle, exercise, and proper nutrition.6
The typical Standard American Diet actually promotes obesity, in many cases, because it encourages adhesion to a low-fat, high-carb diet. The truth is that fat does not cause fat; excessive consumption of high-carb, nutrient-void, high-calorie foods has contributed greatly to the nation’s obesity epidemic.
