Obesity Treatment:
Obesity must not be viewed merely as an increased amount of fat in the body, but also as a chronic and serious disease which is increasingly affecting civilization. It’s a disease that has spread worldwide, whose occurrence is constantly and rapidly increasing and which affects not only adults but more and more frequently also children. The number of obese children comprises as much as 15% of the population.
Around 22% of men and 26% of women suffer from obesity as a serious condition (BMI ≥ 30). Obesity is always created by an imbalance between the intake and expenditure of energy. But there is a sure remedy to this problem through proper weight loss treatment.
