That's why you see individuals visiting the gym, visiting the hospital regularly so as to stay healthy and fit. @sahmie, thanks for organizing this amazing contest, this really shows how much you care about us.

We have so many sickness that can hinder our health, in today's contest we'll be talking about obesity, the causes, and numerous ways to prevent it.

In my own point of view, obesity is a medical condition characterized by an excess accumulation of body fat, it's a very bad condition because it has bad effects on our health. What are some of the health risks associated with obesity? This includes diabetes, heart disease and cancer of different types.

Poor diet
So many individuals take this sickness into their body thinking they're enjoying themselves. How? They do this by taking sugary drinks and low nutrients foods into their body system. Even after warning them about the risks involved in taking sugary drinks, they'll ignore and go ahead with it. Taking fastfood always also contributes to obesity

Lack of exercise
Being inactive in exercise causesobesity for most individuals. It's very crucial to go for exercise atleast every weekends to keep you fit and jiggy. Regular exercise will help sweat out the fat in your body, which can lead to obesity.

Food portion size
Avoid over eating, because this also causes obesity. I had a friend of mine who overfeed himself, though I've been warning him about that, he ignored and continued, right now he's a victim of obesity. So it's very good to avoid large portion of food or overeating.

• Balance diet

Good sleep
So many people don't value the little time God gave us to rest as humans. No matter the work of the day, we should always try to sleep well so as to avoidobesity

Limiting sugary drinks/foods
Not as if it's bad to take all those soft drinks and even beer, but we should have limit. If we can limit the way we take sugary foods and drinks, it'll be for our own good.

Preventing or fighting againstobesity is a long term process, it requires commitment and determination. When we know they results it'll yield, this will help us stay away from things that attractobesity
