Overweight is generally defined as having more body fat than is optimally healthy . Being overweight is a common condition, especially where food supplies are plentiful and lifestyles are sedentary . Excess weight has reached epidemic proportions globally, with more than 1 billion adults being either overweight or obese . Increases have been observed across all age groups. A healthy body requires a minimum amount of fat for the proper functioning of the hormonal , reproductive , and immune systems, as thermal insulation , as shock absorption for sensitive areas, and as energy for future use. But the accumulation of too much storage fat can impair movement and flexibility, and can alter the appearance of the body .
