Understanding Obesity and Its Health Impact
Obesity is a medical condition characterized by excess body fat that increases the risk of serious health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, joint pain, and certain types of cancer. It can affect physical health, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. At Baytown Internal Medicine, we understand that weight loss isn’t just about appearance it’s about building a healthier future. Our weight management programs focus on personalized, sustainable strategies that lead to long-term success.
Signs, Causes, and When to Seek Help
Obesity often develops gradually due to a combination of factors, including poor diet, lack of physical activity, genetic predisposition, stress, hormonal imbalances, or underlying medical conditions. Common signs include increased body mass index (BMI), difficulty with physical activity, and symptoms like fatigue, joint discomfort, or sleep apnea. If you’ve struggled to lose weight or are experiencing health complications related to excess weight, professional guidance can make a significant difference in achieving results.
