Explanation / Answer

A person is called Obese when he/she is overweighted or have too much fat accumulation according to their height and particular weight. Expects have presented various charts inorder to make thingd easy for us , we just have to monitor thins accordingly. A perfect body weight according to height and age , its all cleared . But nowadays we not bother about things unless and untill they get worst.

1) In this particular documentary the expects have visualized and taken record from few areas , they state that obesity is a condition due to the interaction of genes with the environment, one cannot definetly change his/her genes, but what we can take control is of the environment we are surrounded with. Its difficult for some people to maintain a healthy weight according to their body but its just the matter of a positve and healthy life style. What they mean by the term Environment... its not the climate n temperature, but it includes your daily diet, daily food requirement, daily exersice etc. Basically your life style. For some people reduction of the obesty best works when the cut down the portion of extra food the eat, manage their calorie intake and stuff , while for others it works with just the cut down of sugery intake. So basically understand your body and body needs, and work throught. An average range that our expect detected was that only 40% of obesty is due to gene and the left 60% is due to the environmental effect. So, eat healthy and stay smart .

2)       More than 62 % of BRUNX residents are obese or overweighted, its the % higher than the rate in any New York City's , while if compared to MANHATTAN its was just 42% which is the lowest of any of the New York City's. All this is because of the environmental issues , Brunx is labelled as having the hungriest people in America today , they go on gulping the food not at all concerned about their heath. All this is faced just because of the quality of food they eat. Food that looks beatiful and tasty doesnt mean its needed by your body. Train your mind to choose for the healthier option of food over the delicacies that are just good for nothing.

3)        The growing obesty in children is one of the major concerns now. T.V ads are the main culprit, parents are not able to stop themselves from buying what they are actully forced to by, and the worst part is that they dont even realise it. Children are innocent cant take any of the decisions of their own but once they feel good taste in some food they will obviously crave for that. Children nowadays find homemade food boring and tasteless just because they are getting addicted to what they are served outside which has only taste and the adverse effect on thier bodies.
