Obesity is the excessive buildup of adipose tissue in the body brought on by eating more than is necessary to maintain one's level of energy.

According to the WHO, 1.9 billion people worldwide were overweight in 2016; 600 million of these individuals were obese, and tragically, 41 million of these individuals were children under the age of five.

According to some epidemiologists, 20% of the world's population will be obese by 2030, which is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of more than 30 kg/m2 in adults and the percentile for age and sex in children between the ages of 2 and 18 years. Checking waist size and body composition is also crucial. Obesity increases a person's risk of developing cancer, having a stroke, developing metabolic disease, experiencing heart failure, and developing other cardiovascular issues.
