Understanding the Complexity of Obesity
Obesity is a chronic disease influenced by a myriad of factors, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle choices. It’s crucial to understand that obesity isn’t simply a matter of willpower or personal choice. Recognizing it as a medical condition is the first step towards addressing it effectively and compassionately.
