Everyone in my family is obese. it's obviously an inherited condition. there is nothing i can do about it. explain why this statement is not true . offer two practical recommendations to the person who made the statement

Obesity is a medical condition where one person has too much fat in the body and in which the bodyweight is about 20% higher than it should. There are several factors causing this and one of it is genetics. Nonetheless, there are still ways to prevent this. In the scenario, obesity is not only about inheritance and there are at least 2 recommendations to avoid such condition. One is to have a well balanced diet. This would mean eating right food, less carbohydrates and more fluids. Second, is engaging in an active lifestyle which includes exercise.

Iwould say being around others who are not drug free is the wrong step because your peers are likely to influence any new or past habits
