This means you are carrying far more body fat than is considered healthy for your height.<\/p>\n<p>Falling into either category can be a contributing factor for various health concerns including heart disease and stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney problems, and osteoarthritis.<\/p>\n<p>In general, the higher your BMI, the greater your risk.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully with proper care and lifestyle changes, you can manage your weight into a healthy range that works for you.<\/p>\n<p>Experts agree that if you keep your body fit and make healthy food choices, many health concerns can be prevented or minimized.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Causes of Overweight and Obesity?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>There are various factors that can lead to being overweight or obese.
