Fat, Between Appearance and Health

 
A person who is overweight is not just concerned with appearance, but also closely related to health problems.
You're reading this article might have been unhappy with the appearance of your own. But you must understand that losing weight is not just a matter of good appearance, it's also about how you feel better with a healthier, more productive and comfortable with your environment. Above all, this is about avoiding the terrible health risks when you are fat. Increasing evidence suggests that if you are obese, you are more likely to experience health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, some types of cancer, gout (joint pain caused by excess uric acid), and gallbladder disease. obesity also can cause problems such as sleep apnea (interrupted breathing during sleep) and osteoarthritis (arthritis), the more you fatter the more you are experiencing health problems. In comparison, losing weight the healthy may help reduce the harmful effects of obesity. Recent research shows that by losing 5 to 10 pounds means you can dramatically improve your overall health status, while significantly reducing the risk of disease. Obese at higher risk for heart disease and stroke
Heart disease and stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability for the world community. Obesity is more likely to affect high blood pressure, one of the main factors for heart disease and stroke, compared with people who are not overweight. High levels of cholesterol and triglycerides can also cause heart disease and often associated with obesity. became overweight also contributes to chest pain and sudden death from heart disease or stroke. The good news is losing a significant amount of weight can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. Obese at higher risk of diabetes
Non Insulin-dependent diabetes Insulin (diabetes type II) is the most common type of diabetes in the western world. Type 2 diabetes reduces your body's ability to control your blood sugar. It is the leading cause of premature death, heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, and blindness. statistically shown that obesity will eat a 2-fold risk of suffering from diabetes mellitus type 2 than those who are not obese. Obese at higher risk of cancer
Some cancers have a relationship with obesity. in women, including cervical cancer, biliary cancer, cervical, ovarian, breast, colon. Whereas in the obese men at risk of rectal cancer, colon, and prostate. for some types of cancer such as breast cancer and colon cancer, it is unclear whether the increased risk is caused by a weight or a diet high in fat and calories, but of course both are strongly associated with obesity. Fat is more at risk of sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious condition that is closely associated with being overweight. apnea can cause a person to stop breathing for a short time during sleep and to snore heavily. apnea risk increases with obesity. once again, weight loss will reverse this risk. Fat increases the risk of osteoarthritis
osteoarthritis is a common joint disorder that most commonly affects joints in the knees, hips and lower back. obesity seems to increase the risk of osteoarthritis by placing extra pressure on these joints and potentially erode the cartilage (tissue cushions the joints) that normally protects the joint. Some diseases other than mentioned above are also associated with obesity, including gout and gallbladder disease.
So once again that obesity is not just a matter of appearance but also the health problems
