Ailments and Situations - Obesity - Symptoms and Signs

 

Symptoms and Signs:

Modern culture tends to value slenderness. Never has there been greater societal pressure for people, especially women, to be "thin". This pressure causes undue emotional and self-esteem issues for women and men alike. Be careful though: there is a significant difference between being healthy and attaining a magazine-cover figure. In fact, many models follow unhealthy diets in order to maintain their body shape.

Do not be pressured into thinking "the thinner the better". Recognize, however, when your weight is interfering with your daily activities or your general health. Recognize also if your naturopath or other health practitioner advises that you lose weight in order to alleviate the symptoms of another medical problem.
