1. Shortened Life Expectancy

Obesity shortens life expectancy in individuals with moderate obesity (30 to 35 BMI) by three years.

2. Depression, Decreased Quality of Life

Adults with excess weight had a 55% higher risk of developing depression over their lifetime compared to people that did not.

3. Cardiovascular Disease

Excess weight can lead to build up in your arteries. If the arteries get damaged and clogged, it can lead to a heart attack.

4. Diabetes

Being overweight raises your risk for type 2 diabetes. It can also increase the risk of high blood pressure & cholesterol.
