Risk Factors for obesity and overweight

1. Risk Factors for obesity and overweight
In Today's society, we still do not have a clear concept about the risks of obesity and
overweight. From the field of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences, many alternatives are
discussed to improve this pathology. There is an unlimited risk associated with obesity
and many aspects that cause it.
In our blog, we try to address this issue as a real problem qualified by WHO epidemic.
Let'S Focus once again on your main risk factors (Ferreira et al., 2004; Van Dijk, Takken,
Prinsen & Wittink, 2012):
- LAs cardiovascular diseases that causes obesity and overweight are reinforced
by a great evidence in the scientific world. Hypertension is one of the most
important causes of death in the world and it is associated with adiposity.
- Metabolic pathologies such as diabetes mellitus They are also associated with
obesity and Overweight As well as metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance...
- At The Level Osteo-Articulate, this pathology causes individuals to have a greater
ailment in the lower train (knees, Ankles..) and complexity to carry out activities
of daily living by having to withstand extremely harmful weights for their joints.
- Asthma can also be a disease from such changes.

2. So what should we do?
First of all, to lead a healthier life. As We know today's work is directed towards a much
smaller physical effort. 8 hours sitting in a chair are not healthy. Therefore, in our free
time we must take advantage to move and provoke a stress in the organism.
As We also talk about in our blog, food must be a key factor to help us fight overweight
and obesity. Our diet should be aimed at improving and carrying out the current
nutritional recommendations of FAO/WHO.
From Our field, the recommended physical activity of a professional's hand should be a
key aspect for the improvement and quality of life of people suffering from obesity.
Therefore, we recommend the advice of people fully prepared to deal with it.
