Junk foods have a lot of calories and sedentary lifestyle causes the accumulation of these calories as fat in body.

Obesity can trigger a lot of other conditions such as heart diseases, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and even heart attack. Moreover, it can also be a social stigma in a society that is increasingly obsessed with looking fit and young.

A perfect body weight is also dependent on height. As such, if you are 6 feet tall, 75 kg is the ideal weight for you.
