Obesity:
Obesity is a chronic condition due to excess amounts of body fat. Body mass index (BMI) is the most widely used method to define obesity. BMI less than 18.5 is within the underweight range; 18.5 < 25 is within the healthy range; 25 to <30 is overweight, and BMI greater than 30 falls within the obesity range. Diet and lifestyle modifications with good eating habits are the first step in weight loss. It is understandable that sometimes lifestyle modification alone might not work for everyone. The good news is there is a medication called SEMAGLUTIDE(SGT). This medication is FDA approved for weight loss. Semaglude works in the brain and suppresses appetite.
To maintain a healthy lifestyle keeping a healthy diet is imperative. If our bodies don’t have the nutrients to allow us enough energy to move around, it will be more challenging to be active. So it is not only about the reduction of calories but also what other nutrients we might be missing by not eating quality foods to be able to maintain a better, healthier, active lifestyle.
