800 million people around the world are living with obesity
Obesity is characterized by
-abnormal, highly pro-inflammatory fat storage,
-malfunctioning metabolic pathways
It is associated with
-increased cancer risk
-premature death
- increased risk of COVID19 related complications
OBESITY IS A DISEASE
And needs to be treated. But it rarely is!
