    t is important to understand that obesity is not just an uncomfortable 
    condition of the body. Obesity can cause serious health problems. Many 
    people are not aware of these problems, so they do not try to prevent the 
    problems before they appear. This is unfortunate, since prevention is possible, 
    though difficult. 
    One of the worst health problems caused by obesity is Type 2 diabetes. One 
    study found that about 80 percent of people with Type 2 diabetes are obese. 
    People with diabetes do not have insulin in their bodies. Insulin helps the body 
    to absorb, or take in, sugar. If the body cannot absorb sugar, several bad things 
    can happen. A person with diabetes can suffer from seizures (losing control of 
    the body) or fall into a coma. 
    A number of other problems related to obesity have also been found. 
    Obesity can cause heart disease. Heart disease happens when the vessels that 
    deliver blood to the heart become blocked. This makes it more likely that such 
    people will suffer from heart attacks, which take place 
    when the heart loses blood supply and cannot pump 
    properly. Furthermore, obesity causes problems with 
    breathing, especially when sleeping. Obese people are 
    at high risk for arthritis as well as certain kinds of 
    cancers. 
    All of these problems, and others, can be prevented. Of course, losing 
    weight is very difficult. Changing a lifestyle is hard and often painful. Even so, 
    the results of obesity are much worse.
