Obesity occurs when a person carries an excessive amount of body fat, which can significantly impact health.

Fat accumulates not just under the skin but around organs. This visceral fat releases hormones and inflammatory substances that interfere with normal body functions.

This excess fat drives several diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and complications affecting the heart, kidneys, and liver.

In simple terms, unhealthy fat accumulation leads to multiple systemic health problems.

Measurements matter since they help us understand what is truly happening inside the body, beyond what weight alone can show.
