Obesity is an epidemic where there is excessive body fat accumulation to such an extent that it has a negative effect on health. A BMI of above 25 is considered to be weight that is higher than what is considered healthy 

Weight loss in obese is essential, it isn’t just a cosmetic concern, it’s a medical problem that increases the risk of heart diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, certain cancers, infertility in women and cholesterol. Loosing excess weight controls all this and prevents further complications
