Obesity - How it Affects Your Health
1. Carrying around excess body fat will decrease your energy level. Having just 10 lbs. of excess body fat is like carrying around a 10-lb. bag of lard. 2. Your heart has to work overtime to support the extra weight. Obesity has a harmful effect on your entire cardiovascular system. Your cardiovascular system includes your heart, your lungs, and all of your arteries and veins. 3. You may develop breathing problems. For example, sleep apnea is a breathing problem that causes you to stop breathing for short instances during sleep. Sleep apnea can also cause snoring. 4. Extra weight will take a toll on your joints. Obesity has also been linked to gout, which is when uric acid that cannot be excreted collects in the joints of the toes. 5. Obesity can cause infertility. 6. Type 2 Diabetes has been linked to obesity. 7. Extra weight will put you at a higher risk for certain types of cancer. Obese men have a higher risk of developing colon, rectum, or prostate cancer. Obese women have a higher risk of developing gallbladder, breast, uterine, cervical, or ovarian cancer. 8. Being overweight and obesity are associated with increased risks of gall bladder disease, incontinence, increased surgical risk, and depression. 9. Obesity can affect the quality of life through limited mobility and decreased physical endurance as well as through social, academic, and job discrimination. 10. Being overweight may have an effect on your self-esteem that, in turn, will have a negative effect on your overall health. The Sad Statistics about Obesity If you are overweight or obese you are certainly not alone. Obesity is a serious degenerative disorder whose severity rate is as lethal as most plagues. Obesity is just as deadly as smoking, AIDS or any other of the slow deaths that are caused by contemporary afflictions.
