Research has shown that there is an enormous price to pay for obesity, among these include heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancers of the endometrial, colon and breast, liver and gallbladder disease, and degeneration of cartilage and bone. It can even cause sleep apnea and respiratory problems, and the sufferer may just pass away in his or her sleep. Whatever the case, the good news is that in many cases, the condition is treatable. Other than healthy living with a good diet and plenty of exercise, there are also medications one can take and surgical procedures that can remove excess weight or curb appetite.
