This book brings a comprehensive treatise about obesity, examining
the measures that can be taken to stop and even reduce obesity if
these right measures are taken in time. Recent studies show that
obesity is on the increase at an alarming rate, especially in the
industrialized and affluent countries. A number of reasons have
been put forward for this increase, including life style choices,
over-eating, over-use of commercially processed food, addiction for
fast food, high caloric diet specially containing high levels of
sugar and fat, lack of exercise and sedentary life style. Also
genetic make up has been associated with obesity. Obesity can lead
to a variety of lethal diseases, notably coronary heart disease,
cancer and diabetes. These diseases account for the highest number
of human death amongst all other causes. There are also a number of
other side effects associated with obesity including increased
stress, loss of intelligentsia, pancreatitis, premature birth and
osteoarthritis. In recent years media have been playing important
roles in highlighting the lethality and damage caused by obesity,
nevertheless no significant effects can be seen in the population
and obesity remains on the increase, especially amongst children.
The editors believe that it is important that more education,
campaign and research are used to stop this increasing disease.
