Obesity, or being severely overweight, is a serious health problem that affects many people. It's linked to high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

But what causes obesity? And how can you prevent it?

Causes of obesity
The main cause of obesity is simply eating too much and moving too little. If you consume high amounts of energy, particularly fat and sugars, but do not burn off the energy through exercise and physical activity, much of the surplus energy will be stored by the body as fat.

Dietary habits established in childhood often carry into adulthood, so teaching children how to eat healthy at a young age will help them stay healthy throughout their life.

Obesity results from a combination of causes and contributing factors, including individual factors such as behavior and genetics. Behaviors can include dietary patterns, physical activity, inactivity, medication use, and other exposures. Additional weight gain can result from medications for mental health conditions such as depression.

Genetic factors that might contribute to obesity can include inherited conditions or genetic predisposition to certain medical conditions such as Prader-Willi syndrome or Bardet-Biedl syndrome. Some inherited disorders can lead to obesity and should be ruled out by a doctor if severe obesity develops

I think adding a workout routine would also be a great way to prevent obesity. Once you are able to burn out more than what you take in, obesity would not be an issue for you.
