$WVE (1/2) Obesity significantly harms health by increasing the risk of numerous serious conditions, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, certain cancers (such as breast, colon, and endometrial cancer), sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, fatty liver disease, kidney disease, and mental health conditions like depression. These risks contribute to premature death, disability, and a reduced quality of life.
Obesity affects the body by promoting chronic inflammation and placing excessive stress on joints, while also causing psychological distress, including low self-esteem and social stigma.
