Post 7: Obesity in Chile, is a obesity a disease?

Hi everyone, so today i'm going to talk about a topic very important to our bodies and life,  obesity.

The obesity is the fat build underneath the skin, but this fat has to be excessive in the body. The obesity could generate health problems and affect the activities in the daily life. With this definition, it is important to understand if obesity is really a disease, because, there are people who don't care if they are obese or not, they don't know that the obesity is a real problem.

Well, i think that obesity is really a problem when your body feels sick, because, you can have extra fat but no necessarily you have to be sick, When i said "sick" i refer about don't have energy for move your own body, for example, go up the stairs: if you feel very tired when you do that i think is very necessary do something for change, maybe you can change your diet or start to do exercise and sports (if you are a thin person and you feel tired when go up the stairs, it is necessary do something too).

Sometimes, there are people with other type of bodies and they tend to produce fat even with a good a diet, so, in this case it is very important going to the doctor and ask for help, because, the obesity could cause so much problems in the future, heart attacks are the most famous.


So, to finish, in Chile 3 out of 10 persons have obesity. This is very dangerous because this affects the expectative of life of the chilean people. To change that, I think that It is very important to create  public policies focused on  changing the habits of the people (for habits i refer about eating fast food or avoid doing exercise)
