Dr Mhlongo talks Obesity on #HealthTalk

Loading player...
Obesity is often misunderstood as simply “weight gain,” yet it is far more complex and deeply tied to overall health. In this important health conversation, we unpack what obesity really is — exploring the difference between body mass, fat, and natural body structure, and why not everyone in a bigger body is necessarily unhealthy.

Joined by Dr Banele Mhlongo, we also confront the serious health risks linked to obesity, including hypertension, diabetes, kidney failure, breathing difficulties, and chronic snoring.
