Obesity, which is thought to be a result of excessive eating and lack of physical activity, is actually a disorder of the functioning of our body. According to this aspect, it is made clear that even if a person overeats and does not have this disease, will never get fat. Hence, it is easy to understand that obesity is more like to be a disorder, than a result of habits or self-control.
According to severity, it can be divided as mild, moderate and severe. The severe form will accumulate fat rapidly while the mild form will take a long time to show an increment of weight.
This disorder affects both genders and all ages. It may have a genetic factor as well. Among them a secondary involvement of endocrine glands such as pituitary, thyroid, adrenals and sex glands plays a great role too.
According to these reasoning and facts, it is clear that obesity should be treated as a disease. The treatment should be effective in both sexes and all ages. Also, this disorder, once corrected should allow the patient to eat any food, normally, without regaining lost weight. If this goal is approachable, then we can say that we are able to cure obesity as a disease.
