Obesity is a medical condition characterized by an excessive buildup of body fat, which can negatively impact health. It is commonly measured using the body mass index (BMI), where a BMI of 30 or higher is classified as obese. Causes of obesity include a combination of genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors, such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, and certain medical conditions. Obesity increases the risk of various health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain cancers. Managing obesity typically involves lifestyle changes like adopting a healthier diet, increasing physical activity, and sometimes medical treatments or surgery.

A sweetener, as a food ingredient, is used to enhance the sweetness of various dishes and beverages. It is added to provide a sugary taste without the need for natural sugars. Sweeteners come in various forms, such as granulated sugar, honey, maple syrup, artificial sweeteners, and natural alternatives like stevia or monk fruit extract. They are commonly used in baking, cooking, and in the preparation of beverages like coffee, tea, and soft drinks, allowing individuals to customize the sweetness level according to their preferences.

A scale is a device used to measure the weight of people, ingredients, or other objects. It typically consists of a flat surface or platform on which the item to be weighed is placed, and a digital or mechanical display that shows the weight in units such as pounds, kilograms, or ounces. Scales come in various types and sizes, including bathroom scales for weighing people, kitchen scales for measuring ingredients in cooking or baking, and industrial scales for weighing heavier objects or materials. They are valued for their accuracy and precision in providing measurements, making them essential tools for tasks such as monitoring weight, portioning ingredients, or packaging products.
