    2. Yes probably so. I do think some people may have a genetic tendency towards obesity and we need to make sure "obesity" is defined well.

  3. Hello! I'm Rosalba.
    I think that obesity is an increasingly common disease, since it is the result of eating more calories than we need, more people with diabetes develops obesity, the obesity is definitely a public health problem. I believe that prevention is the most important, have a healthy diet and make exercise and change in lifestyle.

  7. Hi,
    I'm agree with the opinion of the speaker, I think the obesity is more than a person with overweight although it also cause problems with the steem it's a real disease, several studies show that it's a important risk factor to hearth disease, diabetes, dyslipidemias, high blood pressure, etc. And I don't think that do a bariatric surgery was the solution. The people should change your mentality and be convinced to change their lifestyle and work with the children education.
    See you soon.

    2. With a good education from home, teaching us to eat a balanced diet, do not be so shallow in appearance, not leaving us carried away by fads.

  8. Hi, Mrs Tonra.
    I'm think the obesity is a disease, because is the cause of many problems which diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, vascular brain disease. Many studies said the obesity is a factor of risk for developing metabolic syndrome that increase to opportunity of developing cardiovascular disease. The overweight is considered like a first stages of developing obesity and we can prevent with changes in stylelife.

  9. Time ago, the obesity was seen as an aesthetic problem but definitely is a disease which has now increased considerably by the type of food and sedentary lifestyle of people. It is a disease that is usually accompanied by diabetes or increased blood pressure so that it increases the risk of a heart attack.

    To conclude my participation in the forum I might add that obesity is a social problem but also influences the choice of each. Although there advertising and easier to get fast food everyone is free to choose what you buy to eat. But then if people do not have information on healthy eating. How their can make a choice?. The education is very important
