Obesity means having too much body fat. It is not the same as being overweight, which means weighing too much. A person may be overweight from extra muscle, bone, or water, as well as from having too much fat.
Both terms mean that a person's weight is higher than what is thought to be healthy for his or her height.
Obesity is something that we all NEED to be aware of. Not only in ourselves, but in our children, friends and family. It is the foremost important health issue that we all need to address. Help me end the cycle of obesity!
