Obesity

I researched on obesity. I found some facts about it.
Globally, there are more than 1 billion overweight adults, at least 300 million of them obese. Obesity and overweight pose a major risk for chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke, and certain forms of cancer. And the key causes are increased consumption of energy-dense foods high in saturated fats and sugars, and reduced physical activity. It reduces life. Increased consumption of more energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods with high levels of sugar and saturated fats, combined with reduced physical activity, have led to obesity rates that have risen.
