Consequences of obesity
Heart disease
Heart disease is the most critical diseases caused by obesity. We often hear stories of individuals from different ages had sudden heart attack. Heart attacks can be considered as a silent killer among obese people. Fats when too thick may clog the blood vessels, caused the body organs not get enough oxygen.
Those who are obese within the BMI range of 25, are exposure to a heart attack, sudden death, chest pain and abnormal heartbeat.
High Blood
People who are overweight may have high blood pressure. The reason is because of high amount of blood fat (triglycerides) and low level of HDL (good cholesterol) lower in blood of people with obesity. High Trigliseride can clog blood vessels quickly. When blood vessels narrower, the pressure will increase.
Hypertension
Hypertension accelerated the process of hardening the arteries and accelerates the aging process. This circle has a string in which the harden arteries can cause Systolic high blood pressure, leading to additional damage to the arteries. It is expected for the reduction of weight of 10 pounds a person can reduce Systolic blood pressure at a rate of about 11mm mercury measurements.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a condition in which the sugar content in blood is high. The food we eat transformed into glucose. Glucose is used by our body cells as energy. The process for glucose transformed into energy, done by insulin hormone.
Obesity associated with diabetes. People with diabetes have a problem because the receptors on the cell wall are not sensitive to insulin. If people with diabetes reduced weight, receptors will be sensitive again to insulin.
The obese person is exposed to the risk of type 2 diabetes is two times higher than those with normal weight. Diabetes caused by excessive weight, damage the blood vessels and lead to extensive damage to internal organs of the body.
Cancer
There was a positive relationship between uterus cancer and breast cancer to obesity. Obese people have a higher risk for various cancers such as cancer endometrical (uterus lining cancer), colon, Gall bladder, prostate, kidney and post menopausal Breast Cancer.
Women who have excess weight of 18 pounds have double the risk of breast cancer after menopause. Adolescent women who suffered obesity will have illness because of extra pressure to the brain. The disease emerged in the form of eye disorders and headache.
Exercise or moving activity makes our muscle cells become active and it is important to enable the production of hormones and enzymes in the blood. Active muscle stimulates our body to produces hormones and enzymes well. In the muscle, there are cells called mitochondria. Mitochondria are factory that generate energy to our body for activities. Inactive muscles produce small energy because the numbers of mitokondria are very small.
Strong muscles burn fats rapidly in the body with effectiveness use of energy.
Therefore we should exercise that can increase muscle size and strengthening muscles. Among the best exercise to be done are climbing the stairs, walking and running.
