overweight is an excess of body stout in the body, the result of an imbalance between calorie intake and energy expenditure: the organization receives more than it spends and therefore “store” part of the surplus.

But, equipment are not so simple. Indeed, many factors can increase this imbalance and promote obesity, or at least weight gain:

Heredity;

Food culture;

Physical inactivity;

Smoking cessation;

Hormonal phenomena (especially among young people and women).
