The World Health Organization (WHO) defines obesity as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, and those with a BMI of 25 and above as overweight. The chronic complex condition leads to excessive fat deposits which can impair health by leading to diabetes, hypertension, cancers, and a host of other issues. In 2022, 1 in 8 people in the world were living with obesity.
Over 390 million children and adolescents aged 5-9 years were overweight in 2022, including 160 million who were living with obesity, as per the WHO. In 2022, a novel drug called Semaglutide, marketed as Ozempic and Wegovy by Novo Nordisk was introduced as a weight loss medication. These were originally prescribed to people with type 2 diabetes.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Elon Musk슬롯사이트™s X Testing New Feature 슬롯사이트˜Group Video Calls슬롯사이트�, Likely To Be Rolled Out Soon on Platform.
In 2023, Musk said he lost about 20 pounds by using Wegovy and by practising intermittent fasting -- restricted eating during specific windows of time. Semaglutide drug mimics glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) -- a hormone that is naturally released after the intake of food. The drug connects with the GLP-1 receptors in the body, making a person feel less hungry and fuller. The weekly injection has been shown to benefit people with obesity by offering an alternative to weight loss surgery.
