The obesity diet;
Why I said this topic is mostly for females is because they are more prone to being obsessed than men. For instance, after child birth a woman tend to add up more than how she was and not being able to control these accumulation of fats in them my somehow lead to obesity. Yes! Most times it also occurs when one does a lot of exercise and after some time drops there is a possibility of Gaining weight. So, this obesity diets are mainly for those who are overweight and are willing to shade off some fats.
Obesity may result from excessive consumption of fuel foods, such as yams, friends foods or from grandular disorders of lack of exercise, sometimes psychological or emotional factors may cause a person to develop the bad nutritional habit of incessant eating and consequent overweight.
Whatever the cause maybe it's is important that an obsessed patient is placed on a reducing diet. And this should be under medical supervision. The aim of these diet is to help reduce their intake of joules. How is this possibly you may ask? I was taught that excess fatty acids, glycerol and glucose are converted into fats and stored in the fay depots in the body. So therefore when the joule intake is reduced to a lower level than that required by the body, stored fats will be reactivateda and utilised thereby reducing the weigh of the individual. During these process the patient weight should be recorded weekly and assessment should be carried out to compare differences or improvement per say.

Effects of obesity on women's health

Obesity is a growing health concern worldwide, affecting millions of people, particularly women. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines obesity as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. Obesity is not just a cosmetic issue, but a serious health problem that increases the risk of various chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. In women, obesity has a profound impact on both physical and mental health, affecting their quality of life, self-esteem, and overall well-being.
The most significant effects of obesity on women's health is the increased risk of reproductive problems. Obesity is a major risk factor for infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes and hypertension.
Obesity also increases the risk of various types of cancer in women, including breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified obesity as a carcinogen, highlighting its role in cancer development. Obesity can lead to chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and hormonal imbalances, which can contribute to cancer growth and progression.
It can also affect women's quality of life, making everyday activities more challenging. Simple tasks, such as walking, climbing stairs, or carrying groceries, limit social participation, making it difficult for women to engage in activities they enjoy, such as exercise, travel, or spending time with friends and family.
