Have you ever knew what is the most common and big problem in our society today? Well if you don’t then it is this obesity. A few propose that up to half the population of many western societies is overweight. This obesity is associated with a lot of kinds of health problems. Such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, strokes and shortens lifespan. Not only is being overweight a risk factor for developing these wide range of problems, because it is also a significant predictor of the progression of the problems. Of more concern recently are the number of children that are becoming overweight or obese and the appearance of the wide range of related health problems in these younger age groups.
