Do you have obesity problems? Being overweight not only affects appearance, but also increases the risk of chronic diseases.

However, what is obesity? Song Mingxian, a nutritionist at Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital, said that countries and regions have different definitions of "obesity". Taking Taiwan Province Province as an example, according to the "Experience Guide of Adult Obesity Prevention and Control of the Ministry of Health 107", it is pointed out that a body mass index (BMI) of 24 is overweight, 27 or more is obese, and 35 or more is severely obese.

The calculation method of body mass index (BMI): weight (kg) divided by the square of height (m). ※.

Especially with the arrival of the industrial and commercial society and the acceleration of the pace of life, the lifestyle of modern people is generally biased towards eating out and lacking exercise. Coupled with exquisite high-sugar and high-fat diets, under the long-term imbalance of nutritional intake, it is natural to accumulate obesity problems that are harmful to health.

Obesity not only affects appearance, nutritionist Song Mingxian pointed out that from the health point of view, overweight and obese people are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, diabetes or cancer, and will obviously increase the mortality rate and the incidence of other complications, so even if it is not for appearance, it should be moderately reduced and improved for health.
