The combination of a sedentary life and an unbalanced diet are the main causes of heart disease. Obesity has important health consequences ranging from cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes and a higher incidence in certain types of cancer, to problems of self-esteem.
