The Health Risks of Overweight

World Health Organization (WHO) has been warning us about the health risks of overweight and obesity. Today, more and more kids and adolescents are overweight or obese. According to WHO(4)(5).

Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. The fundamental cause of obesity and overweight is an energy imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended.

In fact, overweight and obesity are preventable. People can avoid them by choosing to eat healthier foods. As the sucrose absorbed from daily food and drinks contains high calories, preventive measures against overweight and obesity may be started with diets.
