Ang 23 hanggang 24.9 ay overweight. Mas mababa ito sa global chart dahil mas maagang tumataas ang panganib sa kalusugan sa mga Asyano.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Iba ba ang obesity sa overweight?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oo, magkaibang antas sila sa iisang chart. Sa Pilipinas, overweight ang 23 hanggang 24.9 at obesity ang 25 pataas. Pareho silang dahilan para magpatingin, pero mas mataas ang panganib sa kalusugan sa obesity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Sakit ba talaga ang obesity?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oo. Tinuturing ito ng World Health Organization bilang chronic at relapsing disease, at ganoon din ang tingin ng Philippine Clinical Practice Guidelines for Obesity. Kaya ang plano ng doktor ay may follow-up at pagsusuri ng dahilan, hindi isang diet lang.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Namamana ba ang obesity?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bahagi nito, oo. Ang genes ay nakakaapekto sa gutom, sa pag-iimbak ng taba, at sa bilis ng paggastos ng enerhiya, kaya mas malaki ang tsansa kung maraming tumataba sa pamilya. Pero kasama rin ang tulog, stress, hormones, at kapaligiran, at ang doktor ang tumitingin kung alin sa mga ito ang nangyayari sa iyo.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Anong doktor ang tumitingin sa obesity?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Endocrinologist para sa hormones, thyroid, at PCOS. Internal medicine doctor para sa kabuuang kalusugan ng adult. Family medicine doctor para sa unang pagsusuri malapit sa bahay. Pwede ring i-refer ka nila sa registered nutritionist-dietitian para sa plano ng pagkain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Magkano ang konsulta sa NowServing para sa obesity?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sa NowServing, nagsisimula sa Php 500 ang konsulta sa endocrinologist o internal medicine doctor, at nag-iiba ito depende sa doktor at klinika. Hiwalay ang bayad sa lab tests na ipapagawa ng doktor. Tingnan ang HMO plan mo kung may sagot ito sa konsulta, at kung sakop ang weight management mismo.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Konklusyon<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ang salitang narinig mo tungkol sa iyong pagtaba ay hindi hatol sa pagkatao mo.
