How Dietary Fat Plays a Role in Obesity
Fat is an essential part of our diet. It ensures many benefits for the body. But too much of anything can be bad for you including dietary fat, which leads to obesity. Obesity is a state of being overweight due to high levels of fat in the body. With the help of your Body Mass Index (BMI) you can determine if you are suffering from obesity or simply being overweight. BMI is the comparison of your height and weight. If your BMI falls within the category of 30 and above you have got a case of obesity. However if you fall in the 25 – 29 BMI range you are said to be overweight. Obesity can lead to a number of diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gallstones, trouble with you joints and trouble breathing.
Our body has an unlimited ability to store fats and an inefficient auto-regulatory system for fat. This means if you constantly eat food rich in dietary fat it can lead to obesity.
