Unfortunately, we live in a toxic built environment which fosters weight gain because it encourages overeating and sedentary lifestyles beyond high levels of stress and uncertainty. To make things worse, the impact of obesity on health is enormous but preventable. That’s the reason why so many people around the world try to solve the problem dieting. Nevertheless, most of them tend to gain all the weight back over time.
