Introduction

Obesity is currently a worldwide problem. We all have and need fat tissue in our bodies but if you have too much body fat, the result is obesity. Obesity is not a sign of a person being out of control. It is the second leading cause of preventable death after smoking. It is a serious medical disease that affects over about one-third of the adults (approximately 60 million) in the United States, and about 14% of children and adolescents. The number of overweight and obese Americans has continued to increase since 1960, a trend that is not slowing down. Today, 64.5% of adult Americans (about 127 million) are categorized as being overweight or obese. Each year, obesity causes at least 300,000 excess deaths in the U.S.A, and healthcare costs of American adults with obesity amount to approximately $100 billion.

☆Reason why I chose this topic☆

I chose this topic, " Obesity" because I thought it is the most interesting one!! Also I'm strongly against obesity. That is why I like to learn about healthy life and I thoght this topic will help me.

Every day, I come to school by train. In the train there are many fat people. They take two seats because their bodies are big. I think most of middle-aged businessmen are obesity or metabolic syndrome>.<

For this project I will like to search about obesity completely. Also I'm kind of interested to know difference between obesity and metabolic syndrome.

The reason why I thought obesity is a serious problem (controversial ) because, obesity may cause increased sickness and earlier death. Also I heard that obesity people could die from heart attack .

I think recent society made people to eat a lot because they have lots of stress. By consuming more calories than we ough, those over calorie will become fat in our body. It is very hard to drop your weight after you gain.
