Being overweight is when you have more body fat than is optimally healthy. It's a condition where your body mass index (BMI) is over 25, but under 30. If your BMI is 30 or higher, you are considered obese.
Overweight is a common condition, especially in places with plentiful food and sedentary lifestyles. It can increase your risk of several health problems, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer.
