obesity-related diseases

Obesity-related diseases are health conditions that increase in risk with excess body fat. These include type 2 diabetes, where the body can't properly use insulin; heart disease and high blood pressure, which strain the heart and arteries; certain cancers; sleep apnea, causing breathing issues during sleep; and joint problems like osteoarthritis. Excess fat can lead to inflammation and interfere with how the body functions, increasing the likelihood of these illnesses. Maintaining a healthy weight through balanced diet and regular activity can significantly reduce these risks and promote overall well-being.
