DISADVANTAGES OF BEING OBESE

Obesity is an obstacle to do any work. Obese people do not look fair. Especially it affects  youngsters who are yet to be married women if they are obese have to face sarcastic remarks about their figures. Girls, if obese, are  not liked by bridegrooms. Even a slim girl is found rejected because of her over weight a few weeks after engagement.

Obesity is not supposed to be mistaken for perfect health. It is not the symbol of good health or a good personality. If a person is put on weight others think he is healthy, it is unfortunate to hear remarks like “what a personality he has !” he is becoming rich and so he is happy but actually the obese person will be worrying a lot how to reduce his weight.

Obese people cannot walk fast or run fast at certain times they miss a bus, they cannot attend a work well in time etc. Especially in a crowd they cause discomfort to others. A child born to overweight parents has a 90% chance to become obese . So heredity may cause obesity in children. More over young children are fond of sweets instead nutritious foods, as they grow into their youth they allow growth of flesh around their waist and abdomen.

Consequently they become obese. Therefore the disadvantages is even children become obese. Other children tease those obese children calling them elephants or gluttons. Some children are obese simply because they follow their parents ‘food steps’

Usually people pity obese persons they give some exemption. Some time more obese men or women need the help from others to walk or to climb steps. Obese are large snorers also. Snoring not only disturbs others  but is a health hazard to themselves also.


Apart from these social aspects there are physiological aspects also. There is a greater risk  of developing serious health risks such as high blood pressure, diabetes etc. 

obesity itself is a chronic disease. Obese people cannot lead a carefree life. There will be high risk of heart diseases also.
