Summary: The article discusses weight gain and obesity, highlighting health risks such as diabetes, heart problems, osteoarthritis, and respiratory disorders. Obesity is defined by an excess weight of 10 to 20% above normal weight, calculated by the Body Mass Index (BMI), which ideally should be between 18 and 25. The main causes of obesity are an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure, although genetic, dietary, and psychosocial factors can also play a role. The article warns against self-medication and miracle products, which can be dangerous and ineffective. It recommends consulting a healthcare professional for diets or treatments, especially in cases of chronic diseases or significant weight loss. To prevent or treat obesity, it is advised to adopt a balanced diet, reduce the intake of fats, sugars, and alcohol, and increase physical activity. Diets should be gradual to avoid the yo-yo effect. Lastly, weight loss medications are strictly regulated and must be prescribed by a doctor. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of dietary discipline and regular exercise to maintain a healthy weight.
