Obesity is a growing global problem and a real threat to the health of individuals. It is not just an aesthetic issue, but also a serious health concern – it is, to be blunt, very hard to be overweight and healthy, says Ali Khavandi, consultant interventional cardiologist at the Royal United Hospital Bath.
In the US more than 40% of adults are classified as obese, which has created a “health crisis” as a result of rising healthcare costs and reduced productivity in the workforce.
