Obesity or overweight it is the condition when a person’s weight is exceeds the normal weight of a person of certain height and also age. Nowadays there are more people who are heavier than they should be, we say that in Western countries where we have so many food take always and they are affordable, that is why there is a big temptation to buy such food and sometimes we buy them because we are lazy to cook.

Explain three lifestyles that lead to obesity

There are many factors leading to overweight such as:

people who less moving, sitting in front of computer or television
people who eat food rich in carbohydrates but also snack between their meals
people who prefer to take car for even small distance instead of walking

How can stress and lack of sleep lead to obesity?

Some people who have stress tend to eat to compensate that, often it is chocolate and ice-cream that is often distract from stress and often psychologists say that they feel themselves like in their childhood, they are protected by parents and feel more secure. Lack of sleep, leads that people tired and have no mood for walking, for doing some fitness exercise, because they are tired. That is why some people gain easily weight.

BMI means Body Mass Index and that helps to calculate your weight and height. Using BMI it is helpful to keep an eye of your healthy body mass. It is also easy to calculate, you take your weight in kg and divide it by your height in square meters.
