1. Obesity definition and type
Obesity is a chronic disease that consists of excessive accumulation of adipose tissue. It can occur as a primary disorder (simple obesity) or as a complication of another disease (secondary obesity). According to the BMI scale (body mass to growth ratio), obesity is divided into several degrees: grade I from 30 to 34.9 kg/m. grade II 35 to 39.9 kg / mq. grade III people from 40 to 49. 9 kg/ mq. However, in people with a slightly larger body weight 50 to 59.9kg/mq.2. Obesity method of diagnosis
Obesity is often diagnosed when the body mass index (BMI) in women exceeds 0.7 and in men 0.9. Visceral obesity is recognized when the WHR in women is at least 0.85, and in many people it is not very productive. The WHR (thigh-body) indicator determines not only the occurrence of obesity but also its type. It can be calculated by dividing the waist circumference by the bifurcation of the body.3. Obesity is statistics
Obesity is one of the major diseases of civilization. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of children with obesity has tripled in the last 20 years. The scale of the problem unfortunately continues to increase. Europe and the United States are most at risk. More than 50% of Europeans are overweight or obese. Worse, the statistics are especially alarming for the youngest. About 20% of children are obese, and a third of them qualify as obese too. The situation in Poland is not very optimistic. The results of a study published by the Centre for Health and the Study of Obesities in 2014 show that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals shows that, according to the School Barriers Act, up to 16% of the population of children without obesity and overweight in the country are well-fed.4.

Dependence on sweets, salty drinks, soda, and alcohol is the most prevalent problem for those who are obese. However, not only what we eat, but also how we eat affects our body's health. We know that the primary cause of obesity is a decrease in the level of body fat in the body, and that the hormone levels of stress in our bodies are the most important factor in determining whether or not the body fat intake increases our body fat and body fat production, and the ability to reduce body fat consumption, as well as our body tissues and organs.5.
