Obesity is a pathological state in which too much fat is in the body, resulting in a bodyweight higher than what is healthy for the person’s height. It affects not only people’s appearance but also increases people’s risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, infertility, and other chronic diseases. By merging the essence of Chinese and Western medicines with a Japanese physician’s “lean brain” weight loss method, you can successfully lose and maintain weight without rebounding.
According to statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from 1999 to 2000 through 2017 to 2020, the prevalence of obesity in the United States increased from 30.5 percent to 41.9 percent, an increase of more than 10 percent within 20 years. At the same time, the rate of severe obesity also rose from 4.7 percent to 9.2 percent. In addition, being overweight or obese increases the risk of 13 types of cancer, which account for 40 percent of all cancers diagnosed in the United States annually.
