Obesity is frequently seen in developed and developing modern ages and is frequently seen as a serious event. If left untreated, short or long-term losses are treated as a serious disease brought on by many diseases.
However, due to the fact that it is an undesirable appearance and the fact that it brings psychological problems together, and its distribution is disrupted, it needs to be treated by a doctor or during a diet in order to reach and maintain its ideal weight.
According to the World Health Organization, it has increased 3-fold in 40 years all over the world and in research conducted in 2016, it was determined that 1.9 billion people in the world are overweight, 650 million of them are obese.
The rates of occurrence in Turkey are increasing day by day as in other cases. According to a standard made by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey, obesity performance in Turkey is 20.5% in men, 41.0% in characteristics and 30.3% in total. In total, overweight people are 34.6%, overweight and obese people are 64.9%, and the rate of very obese people is 2.9%.
In general, it is a fact that one in three people in the world and in Turkey is overweight or obese. The disease caused by obesity and the observation of the expansion of this rate during the day are the protection of the importance of the fight against obesity.
Obesity can generally grow in a way that the other volume ratios of fat cells in the body will grow excessively. Excessive fat affects body hormones and causes the secretion of some hormones that cause more food desire in the body.
The person’s desire to eat increases even more, causing obesity to progress. Additional diseases occur due to the chemical and hormonal factors secreted from the accumulated fat tissue, and as a result, the person’s quality of life and life span are negatively affected.
Obesity is a treatable tumor. It can be treated with weight loss diets and applications that support this. A problem occurs in the limited movement restriction of the extremely obese.

Not every fat person is considered obese. Rather than the value seen on the scale, the ratio of this value to the person’s height (taking into account the person’s age and gender) is important. For this purpose, the body mass index is used and obesity status is evaluated according to the reference ranges of the World Health Organization.
Obesity calculation is done by dividing the body weight in kg by the square of the height in meters.
According to the values found, over 30 kg/m2 is considered obese, over 40 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese and over 50 kg/m2 is considered super obese.
In addition to the body mass index, the person’s age, gender, daily activity level, waist and hip circumference, subcutaneous fat tissue thickness and muscle mass are also important in the evaluation.
The main cause of obesity is that a person takes in more energy from food than their metabolism consumes.
Increased energy is stored as fat in the body. However, genetic factors, psychological reasons and some diseases increase weight gain and form the basis of obesity. Hormonal disorders, thyroid diseases and some medications trigger weight gain.
If both parents of children are overweight, these children are likely to be overweight in adulthood due to genetic factors. However, it is wrong to attribute the cause of obesity to this. This risk factor can be eliminated by changing lifestyle and nutrition during childhood.
Irregular and unhealthy nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, consuming too much fast food and sugary foods, and eating excessively when hungry are important reasons for the formation of obesity.
Disruption of metabolic balances due to obesity brings with it many additional diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, heart diseases and sleep apnea.
Obesity disease cannot be seen only as weight gain, increasing the amount of fat in the body, i.e. increasing body mass index. The vital organs of the person also start to gain fat. Obesity is the underlying cause of many clinical diseases.

Obesity can generally be defined as the excessive increase in the fat rate in the body compared to other components of the body to the extent that it affects health. Excessive fat affects body hormones and causes the secretion of certain hormones that cause the body to want to eat more.
The person’s desire to eat increases even more, causing the obesity disease to progress. Additional diseases occur due to the chemical and hormonal factors secreted from the accumulated fat tissue, and as a result, the person’s quality of life and life span are negatively affected.

Insulin is a vital hormone secreted by the pancreas. It separates the sugar we get from food from the blood and allows it to enter the cells for energy needs.
Thus, the sugar level in the blood decreases. As the amount of fat in the person’s body increases, the cells become less sensitive to the insulin hormone secreted by the metabolism. Therefore, insulin cannot separate the sugar in the blood and the blood sugar increases. Insulin resistance Type-2 diabetes is the most important problem that causes the development of diabetes symptoms.
Type-2 diabetes and insulin resistance, which are called pre-diabetes, are prevented by controlling excess weight and thus reducing insulin resistance.
