It is usual human nature to notice the big things and leave the minute things unnoticed. Like starting for an examination with every material in hand but forgetting the hall ticket. This is a common phenomenon where the entire humankind falls. But a very rare case exists among us which is very large but still is unnoticed. It is obesity!!! People keep putting weight around us and we witness all those changes and sometimes feel jealous of them. The fact is obesity is not good all the time. Obesity may cause serious cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

         To reduce the hazards caused by this growing disease, anti-obesity campaigns are being launched and people are educated on this ground. But theory classes will not help as we are not ready for exams. Practically, reducing junk foods and other diet including hydrogenated and saturated fats alone can reduce the rate from now on. We expand our physique but shrink the brains in the name of urbanization. Eating junk foods and oily items cannot be termed urbanization.

         Obesity in children less than 7 years of age raises the risk of heart diseases in the future. A recent survey shows that there are more than 1 billion overweight adults (Reports from World Health Organization) and another survey says that nearly four out of 10 adults in the USA will be obese within five years if people keep packing on pounds at the current rate. So obesity is really a problem to be controlled when it is in our hands. Let us start to educate people on this from Anti-obesity day on November 26.

          We have a lot of problems in our society like population, pollution, nuclear deal, unemployment, recession, and many more. Should obesity fall in this list??
