Obesity is serious health concern, which affects a large number of men, women and children worldwide. The number of obese people in the UK has trebled since 1980 and is estimated to continue to increase at an astonishing rate.
Being obese can lead to stress, depression as well as serious long-term health problems, which is why it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. If you have struggled to lose weight by simply dieting and exercising, then prescription treatments, such as Xenical, can help you to lose weight and manage your weight more effectively.
What is obesity?
Obesity is when someone is seriously overweight for their height, because of excess fat, rather than muscle. Obesity occurs gradually overtime when you consume too many calories and don’t do enough physical activity to burn them off. The excess energy stores as fat, and consequently, increases your body weight. Obesity is not to be confused with being overweight; you can still be overweight and live healthily, whereas someone who is obese, of seriously overweight, is at risk of further health issues. You can calculate whether you are suffering from obesity by using a BMI calculator.
What causes obesity?
Obesity can develop as a result of poor eating habits (foods high in calories and low in nutrients) and a lack of exercise. Other possible causes can be due to stress or insomnia; muscle loss through ageing; the use of antidepressants; or even hormone problems, such as an underactive thyroid and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
If your parents suffer from obesity you stand a high chance of developing this health condition too. Obesity does appear to run in families, which suggests there is a biological link, although this common dietary and exercise habits, passed from one generation to the next, is also a significant cause.
Can obesity lead to further health problems?
If left untreated, obesity will not only bring on immediate complications such as breathlessness, difficultly sleeping and back pain when bending, but it will also lead to serious long-term illnesses. Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary heart disease can develop as a direct result of obesity, as can problems during and after pregnancy.
How can I prevent obesity?
To avoid developing any unnecessary health complications, you should arrange an appointment with your doctor. Using a BMI calculation, he will tell you what steps to take in order to prevent an ‘overweight’ condition from becoming ‘obese’, or whether obesity treatment is needed straight away.
The first step to take whenever attempting to lose weight is to improve your diet and to do more physical activity. Ease away from bad habits such as eating large portions of food and make sure you are doing at least 30 minutes of exercise a day.

How can I treat obesity?
There are several ways to approach this solution. Over the counter slimming pills are a popular choice, although as with many herbal supplements, weight loss claims are not always guaranteed.
If dieting and exercise has proved unsuccessful, you can request a course of Xenical tablets from your doctor or from HealthExpress online. Xenical is the only prescription medication for treating obesity, which is proven to be more effective than slimming pills and carries fewer side effects when compared to surgical procedures.
Surgery restricts the amount of food a person can eat. Common methods include gastric band surgery, gastric bypass, bilopancreatic diversion and sleeve gastrectomy. A private operation performed by a surgeon can cost as much as £20,000. Side effects include swelling, bruising and scarring.
Can I buy prescription treatment online?
Xenical can be prescribed to patients who have a BMI of 30 or above, or to those who have a BMI of over 27 and other health complications. A course of Xenical tablets can be ordered and purchased online from any reputable online pharmacy or clinic. To order your treatment today, start a free consultation with us; it is free of charge and takes only a few minutes to complete. |
