WHO estimates indicate that obesity kills four times as many people as cigarette smoking every minute. There is indeed a deep nexus between obesity and various diseases.

A fat surgery person invariably has high cholesterol, Blood Pressure, Mal functioning endocrine Glands, Respiratory and Digestive disorders, which are the causes for the stroke, cardiac arrest or cancer which ultimately is reported as the reason for the death.

Just by reducing the body weight, the risk to these diseases can be minimized by nearly 90%. The reason to be slim is not only for the attractiveness thereof, but also to mitigate the perils to healthy and long life.

So, indeed while speaking about preventive health care, obesity tops the list.
