Obesity, or “obesity” by the public, is one of the biggest and most common health problems of our day. The increase in the amount of fat in the human body at a level that prevents healthy living causes this disease. In general, obesity is introduced when the body mass index is 25 or 30 kg / m2 and above. For this reason, obesity does not have an exact limit and there are limits that can vary depending on the person. In this article, we will talk about the factors that cause obesity and list the measures that can be taken against these factors.
If a person eats more calories than they burn, an excess of calories will occur naturally. This excess begins to be stored within the body. This calorie increase in the person causes fat and naturally weight gain.

Small portions in physical terms but large in calories are unfortunately among the foods that cause weight gain. As an example, we can show the general of fast food products.

If we completely remove fast food products and carbonated-sweet drinks such as coke from our lives, we can control excess calorie intake.

However, one of the basic components of a healthy life is to exercise. An adult should exercise for 30 minutes, at least three days a week. Weekends and days off are a great opportunity to exercise. If you have not had a recent surgery and therefore it is not forbidden to do sports by the doctor, you should definitely spare time for sports.
While doing sports, people naturally look for additional tools such as mats or pilates. However, doing sports does not only mean using technological devices. It is also a sport to walk to work from time to time or to climb the stairs a few extra times. Simple stretching movements can be considered as a sport, especially during break times in office life. Our main goal is to move as much as possible. In addition, the correct positioning of the posture will make us less difficult when doing sports. Often a wrong sitting for a long time causes pain during movement and people do not want to move. However, correct posture will provide us with the necessary incentives to act. While doing sports, pay attention to the following:
