An increasing number of people are battling obesity – which is now recognized as a disease state. It has been estimated that nearly 60% of US adults and 13% of children and adolescents can be classified as either overweight or obese. Increased fatigue, muscle and joint pains often accompany the disorder. Furthermore, obesity impacts a number of health problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes. Excess weight can increase one’s risk for developing certain types of cancer such as breast and ovarian in females and prostate as well as colon cancer in males.
