Obesity-Related Medical Issues
Reclaiming your health requires recognizing the impact of obesity on your well-being. Obesity is associated with a higher risk of developing various medical problems, including coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes. According to the CDC, being overweight or obese is linked with a higher risk of getting 13 types of cancer, which make up 40% of all cancer diagnoses. This highlights the critical importance of addressing obesity to reduce the risk of these serious medical conditions.
