4 Steps to Preventing Hereditary Obesity

A person is said to be obese when their BMI (Body Mass Index) is greater than 30. Experts, after a lot of research, say many forms of obesity are associated with genes. These genes can be passed on from parent to offspring and can lead to what we call “Hereditary Obesity”.
You might be asking yourself “If it’s in my genes how can I prevent it?” the answer is; although different people inherit these “obesity genes” your environment and lifestyle also determines how and if most of these genes are expressed. This means that although most members of your family are obese, you can actually prevent yourself from getting obese.
