obesity and insulin resistance
Obesity refers to a condition of having excess body fat, which can result from consuming more calories than the body can burn. Insulin resistance, on the other hand, is a condition in which the body's cells do not properly respond to the hormone insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels. Obesity and insulin resistance often go hand in hand, as excess fat can interfere with insulin's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively.
