take six

in this day and age when the number of diseases that are linked to obesity is rising.
i don't know if that is a grammatically correct sentence.

in this day and age we have a large number of diseases linked to obesity.
hmmm i think that works, not what i am really trying to say but it works better than the first sentence. but yeah as i saying obesity increases your risk of alot of diseases so it would be wise if you are overweight or obese to look into free weight loss programs that exist
