Extra body weight puts more pressure on the heart and other important organs like the liver. It increases blood pressure and levels of cholesterol in the body; this, in turn, leads to other serious complications and diseases in the body like stroke and heart disease.

"An individual with a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or higher than 30 is said to be obese. An individual who has a body mass index of 25 to 29.9 is still regarded as overweight. Normal body weight is in the range of 18.5-24.9 BMI."
