Obesity is a complex condition, associated with a wide range of serious health issues. In
contemporary society, body size is an important part of a person’s self-representation. There is

countries and is responsible for an important burden for the health systems and increase in deaths.
High calorie intake in diet due to increased consumption of refined sugars, sweetened beverages,
vegetable oils, chunk and fast food and lack of physical activity, absence of play ground, and
sedentary life style are all the causes of obesity. Excess adiposity also known as obesity and excess
body weight are associated with increased association with different types of diseases like type 2
diabetes, dyslipidemias, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and cancer. Lifestyle changes are
