Obesity itself is not fatal, but too much obesity will increase the chances of some diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, fatty liver, heart disease and so on, the health risks are great, the following we will understand specifically, what are the dangers of obesity.
Prone to hypertension
People who suffer from high blood pressure, the heart will work harder than healthy people. The heavier a person is, the more likely he or she is to suffer from high blood pressure. Even with mild hypertension, before the age of 65, the chance of having a stroke is three times higher than that of people with normal blood pressure.
High risk of diabetes
Researchers have found that too many fat cells require the pancreas to produce too much insulin in order to convert sugar in the blood into energy. When the pancreas is overloaded, its function is weakened, so the sugar in the blood increases and cannot be fully utilized and excreted from the body.
Women with obesity are four times more likely to develop diabetes than women with normal body size. And 70% of the diabetic patients are obese. Diabetic patients caused by obesity, after weight loss, the condition will be improved, and the metabolic function of sugar will return to normal.
Prone to skin diseases
Dermatologists point out: because fat people sweat more, so it will destroy the original function of the skin to prevent infection. Fat people are prone to eczema, red rash, scabies and other skin diseases.
Prone to fatty liver
About half of the obese people suffer from fatty liver. The liver is the synthesis of triglyceride place, but the liver does not have much extra space to store it. In obese people, the balance between triglyceride synthesis and transport is out of balance, obese people have more fatty acid intake, so the liver synthesizes more triglycerides. A large amount of triglycerides accumulates in the liver. As a result, fatty liver is formed.
It affects life expectancy
Most of the life insurance companies in the United States use a person's weight as the standard for life expectancy. According to their data, a person can live longer if he or she is lighter than the "ideal weight" based on height.
Higher risk during surgery
Surgeons say, "The heavier a person is, the higher the risk of accidents from anesthesia to surgery. The biggest danger is heart failure. In addition, the wounds are prone to inflammation and the hospital stay is longer than for thin people.
Prone to kidney disease
The kidneys filter the blood in the body about 25 times a day to remove waste and toxins from the blood and maintain the balance of salt, water and other substances.
High risk of cancer
The American Cancer Society found that a person whose weight is more than 40% heavier than the average weight of people of the same age has 5.4 times the chance of suffering from endometrial cancer and 3.8 times the chance of suffering from gallbladder cancer.
High risk of heart disease
Even for obese people with very low cholesterol, the chance of heart disease is significantly higher than normal people, because fat will adhere to the walls of blood vessels. Excess fat, not only will affect the appearance, it will also make the blood does not get enough oxygen, in order to compensate for this situation, the body will create an excessive number of red blood cells, so that the blood becomes sticky, the flow of slow speed. Excessive obesity, the heart will be overworked and dilated, weakened, serious "congestive heart failure". Studies have shown that obesity is more likely to lead to heart disease than smoking.
May affect pregnancy
Pregnancy is a big challenge for obese women, because obese people are not easy to get pregnant, psychological pressure, plus the burden of the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, respiratory tract is heavier than the average woman, once pregnant, the symptoms will be correspondingly aggravated. Even proteinuria occurs. Women with diabetes also have a high proportion of giving birth to deformed children.
