Diseases caused by obesity

Due to the fast pace of life and the improvement of living standards, most people do not eat in the morning and have simple fast food at noon. In the evening, they will have various dates and eat and drink a lot without paying attention to healthy eating. Therefore, there are more and more obese people now. Obese people not only look unsightly, but also have a direct impact on our health. Most obese people suffer from diseases such as high blood lipids and fatty liver.

Compared with healthy people, obese people have many inconveniences in life, work and family. However, once people become fat, it is very difficult to lose weight, so in daily life we ​​should pay attention to developing good habits and not let ourselves become unhealthy obese people.

heart disease

Obese people are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke than people of normal weight.

diabetes

Obese people are more likely to develop diabetes, and people with diabetes can often improve their blood sugar levels simply by losing weight.

hypertension

Obesity may cause high blood pressure, and the degree of obesity is proportional to the degree of high blood pressure. Reducing weight often improves blood pressure.

Hyperlipidemia

The blood cholesterol and triglycerides of obese people are much higher than those of normal weight people, and high blood cholesterol and high blood triglycerides are both risk factors for coronary artery sclerosis.

skin disease

Excess fat acts like an insulation board, so obese people dissipate heat slowly and sweat easily. Due to excessive sweating, moist skin is easily irritated and damaged, and itchy red rashes often appear on the neck, pubic area, and armpits. The skin and fat overlap and rub against each other, which can harbor dirt and grime, so skin abrasions and infections are common problems.

Respiratory diseases

Studies have shown that obese people are more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases such as colds, tracheitis and pneumonia. Obese people often have difficulty breathing because of excessive fat accumulation in the abdomen, which hinders the movement of the diaphragm; or because of excessive fat in the throat, which blocks the airway and makes it impossible for the lungs to breathe effectively.

Skeletal abnormalities

Being overweight will increase the load on the lower limbs, causing bone deformation over time. The joints will become inflamed due to excessive wear and tear, especially the knees and waist.

Nowadays, obesity is no longer just a concern for adults. More and more children are also suffering from obesity, which will affect their normal development and even their future fertility. Therefore, if adults love their children, they should not spoil them and let their children develop good habits from an early age. The elderly must not be too fat. People always say that money can't buy thinness in old age! This shows that it is healthier for the elderly to be thin!
