Weighing down on diabetes

OVEREATING, especially indulging in diets high in fats and sugars, coupled with the lack of physical activity, leads to energy imbalance. In other words, energy consumed from food exceeds energy that’s used or burnt through daily activities.  

Unfortunately, excess energy is stored as body fat and, depending on the degree of fat accumulation over a period of time, one could eventually be classified as obese. The risk of developing diabetes increases simply by being obese.
