The health risks associated with obesity are numerous. Obesity is not just a cosmetic problem, it’s damage to your health because obesity has been linked to several serious medical conditions, including:

• Heart disease and stroke
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Cancer
• Gallbladder disease and gallstones
• Osteoarthritis
• Gout
• Breathing problems, such as sleep apnea (when a person stops breathing for a short time during sleep) and asthma

Doctors agree that the more overweight a person is, the more likely they are to have health problems. People who are overweight or obese are at  increased risk for chronic disease compared to normal-weight individuals. 

A weightloss of 10 to 20 pounds can bring significant health improvements.
