<ul>
	<li>Definition: Excess body fat that endangers health.</li>
	<li>How to Measure? Use the BMI (Body Mass Index)!
	<ul>
		<li>Formula: Weight (kg) &divide; Height^2 (m^2)</li>
		<li>Categories
		<ul>
			<li>Overweight: BMI &ge; 25 kg&middot;m^2</li>
			<li>Obese: BMI &ge; 30 kg&middot;m^2</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Real-world example: Ever seen a muscled bodybuilder or rugby player? They might have high BMI because of muscles, not fat!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Fancy Techy Methods
	<ul>
		<li>DXA: Cool X-ray tech. But uh-oh! Tiny radiation exposure.</li>
		<li>MRI &amp; CT: Very detailed but take time and can be expensive.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Simple Measure: Waist circumference! (Men: &ge;102 cm, Women: &ge;88 cm)</li>
	<li>Real-world example: Imagine trying to measure the fat of a football team using MRI. It&#39;d be like trying to fit elephants into a mini-cooper. Better use simpler methods for large groups!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Alarming Stat: 1 out of 4 adults = obese! 😮</li>
	<li>Risks
	<ul>
		<li>Major ones: Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases.</li>
		<li>Scary ones: Osteoarthritis &amp; certain cancers.</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Kids &amp; Teens: Not just adults, even younger peeps are becoming chubbier. Why worry? Obese kids likely grow into obese adults. Plus, no one likes bullies picking on them!</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>Positive News: Exercising regularly decreases some cancer risks.</li>
	<li>Sad Fact: Not moving much isn&#39;t a risk for all cancers.</li>
	<li>Solid Evidence
	<ul>
		<li>Breast Cancer &amp; Colon Cancer: Active peeps have 20-30% less risk! 🎉</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Mystery Zone: Exercising might reduce risks of endometrium, prostate, pancreas, and lung cancers. But we need more detective work to be sure.</li>
	<li>Real-world example: Imagine if exercising was like a magical shield that blocks cancer arrows. For some cancers, the shield works wonders, but for others, we&#39;re not so sure!</li>
