Obesity is one of the most popular chronic diseases, and it puts a person at risk for heart disease. Obesity promotes worry, stress, and depression, as well as affecting self-esteem and acceptance, according to scientific evidence. Obesity is becoming more common among children, which has been linked to bullying and emotional deterioration.
