00:00According to experts, being obese or having a very fat parent is also possible for a child to get pregnant.

00:06But aside from genes, there's another reason for obesity.

00:10Let's find out in the report of Nico Wahe.

00:16There's a saying that whatever tree it is, it's a fruit.

00:20Mary has type 2 obesity and she thinks she can get pregnant because her parents are also obese.

00:28My grandmother is also high blood.

00:32My mother is high blood diabetic.

00:35I think she has all kinds of diseases.

00:37According to the Philippine Association for the Study of Overweight and Obesity,

00:41being obese is considered as food.

00:44It's hereditary or passed on to the children.

00:47Studies are now saying that 40-70% of the chance of a child of developing obesity actually is genetic.

00:57It comes from the blood and it can be obtained from the family, from the parents.

01:03And obesity is not just a risk factor anymore.

01:06Obesity is now a disease in itself.

01:09Just like hypertension, just like diabetes,

01:12and what organ is the main one that has abnormality?

01:16It is the fat cells or the adipose tissue.

01:19But aside from genetics, it's also an added factor that food is given to the family.

01:24Familial practices?

01:26As early as childhood, who teaches us how to eat?

01:30How much to eat?

01:32Family.

01:33Mary admits that it's hard to stop eating,

01:36especially when her mother says it's delicious to cook.

01:38I enjoyed eating the skin of the chicken.

01:42And then that's before dinner, I'll have rice and then I'll have dinner again.

01:46One way to know if you're obese is the waistline.

01:50If it's 31.5 inches higher for a woman and 34.5 inches higher for a man,

01:56it's called abdominal obesity.

01:59We'll try if we have abdominal obesity.

02:03We have a measurement.

02:05How much is it?

02:06To measure it, you should look for your last rib and your most prominent bone in your hip.

02:14And in the middle, that's what we need to measure.

02:19And the measurement?

02:20How much is it?

02:24There.

02:25My waistline is now 37 inches.

02:30And I already have abdominal obesity.

02:34Obesity is getting worse, but it's not all over yet.

02:38Because it's in our hands to have a healthy lifestyle,

02:42including a balanced diet and exercise.
