The term "obese" describes a person who's very overweight, with a lot of body fat.
Obesity is generally caused by consuming more calories – particularly those in fatty and sugary foods – than you burn off through physical activity. The excess energy is stored by the body as fat.
Obesity is an increasingly common problem because for many people modern living involves eating excessive amounts of cheap, high-calorie food and spending a lot of time sitting down, at desks, on sofas or in cars or playing video games.
do you struggle to tie your shoelaces? If you are obese do you know why and do you know how bad it is for your health?
