Obesity Case

Obesity is a condition in which people become very fat and in a way that is not healthy. Just take a look at a group people anywhere. We are bound to notice a lot of people who are overweight. With bellies leading their way, they strut around night market, the supermarkets and any place that people gather. Their shirt and trousers are too tight and the excess fat bob up and down as they walk about. Besides, having an unsightly body, an overweight person has many other serious problems. It is a common sight to see a fat person huffing and puffing his way up a flight of stairs. If what we see on the outside is bad, the inside story of an overweight person is even worse. The main courses of obesity are overeating, laziness and lack of exercise.

We become obese, under-exercise and prone to multitude of ailments.
