Answer:

The correct answer is Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements, related to fatigue.

Step-by-step explanation:

The combination of a sedentary life and an unbalanced diet are the main causes of heart disease. Obesity has important health consequences ranging from cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes and a higher incidence in certain types of cancer, to problems of self-esteem. If obese people reduce their weight by 10 or 15%, they can significantly reduce the risk of suffering from these diseases.
