The number of overweight individuals in the country has drastically increased in recent years. According to a survey carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2010, the prevalence of overweight in men in Nigeria is 26%. While in women it is 37%.

The issue of individuals becoming overweight is a huge source of concern. This is because, it is the major cause of many health complications such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, amongst other illnesses.

Over the years, several solutions, such as surgery, tablets, liposuction, and tummy tuck have been invented in a bid to tackle this issue faster.

EXERCISE
