But excessive body weight is associated with various diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type 2, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, and osteoarthritis etc. As a result, obesity has been found to reduce life expectancy. Therefore, the excessive body weight is to be reduced at any cost. When obese people reduce their fat after struggling a lot, we use to ask them ‘what happened? Are you sick? Do you have any disease?’.
