nadváhy

Nadváhy, often translated as overweight, refers to a condition where an individual has an excess amount of body fat to the extent that it may negatively impact their health. It is typically defined by a body mass index (BMI) that is higher than the recommended range. BMI is a calculation that uses a person's weight and height to estimate body fat.

A BMI between 25 and 29.9 is generally considered overweight. A BMI of 30 or above indicates obesity, which is a more severe form of excessive body fat accumulation. Nadváhy is a global health concern and is associated with an increased risk of various chronic diseases. These include type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, certain types of cancer, and sleep apnea.

The development of nadváhy is usually attributed to an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. This means consuming more calories than the body burns through daily activities and exercise. Factors contributing to this imbalance can include dietary habits, such as consuming high-calorie, low-nutrient foods, and a lack of physical activity. Other contributing factors can include genetics, environmental influences, socioeconomic status, and certain medical conditions or medications.

Managing nadváhy typically involves lifestyle modifications aimed at achieving and maintaining a healthier weight. This often includes adopting a balanced diet that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, while reducing the intake of processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats. Increased physical activity is also crucial, with recommendations usually suggesting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week, along with muscle-strengthening activities. In some cases, medical intervention or behavioral therapy may be recommended.
