        abstract = {This short article talks about obesity in simple words. Obesity means having too much body fat and it can harm health. Most of the time obesity happens because of daily habits like eating food a lot, not moving enough, not enough exercises, bad sleep, and stress. Obesity can cause problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems and joint pain. Simple changes in food and activity can help control it. Family habits are also key. If parents are obese or if a family is on a pathway of unhealthy eating, children probably will be overweight. Boredom, sadness, stress, and overeating is a vicious part of the cycle that makes someone become overweight.
Obesity is associated with a long list of diseases it can cause. Cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure and heart attacks are among other health problems linked to breathing or joints; only a sorry few such as high cholesterol have no connection. Crucially, family habits are also a major factor. Children are likely to be overweight if parents are obese or if the family is on a trajectory of unhealthy eating. Boredom, sadness, stress, and over-consumption of food are vicious parts of a cycle that will make a person get overweight.
In addition, obesity may have a negative effect on personality and this, in turn, will affect the person's mental health. The good news is, there are several lifestyle changes that can bring about quick improvements.
