Harmful effects of obesity
Reduces the body's immune system, because obesity always puts the body in a state of chronic inflammation;
Suffering from bone and joint diseases: Overweight and obese people are susceptible to osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and constant pain due to body weight putting pressure on bones and joints. Knee joints and spine are damaged the earliest. Overweight and obese people are susceptible to gout.
Cardiovascular disease: Obese people often have high cholesterol, causing fibrosis of blood vessels, leading to high blood pressure, stroke, and myocardial infarction. In obese people, the heart has to work harder to pump blood to the body and in the long run causes overload on the heart, so obese people are susceptible to cardiovascular diseases.
Diabetes: Obesity is closely related to type 2 diabetes due to insulin resistance
Vulnerable to gastrointestinal diseases: obesity causes excess fat to stick to the intestinal loops, causing stool stagnation and constipation. Stagnation of f***s and toxic waste produced during metabolism can easily cause colon cancer. Meanwhile, excess fat accumulates in the liver causing fatty liver disease. If not treated promptly, it can lead to cirrhosis... Fat metabolism disorders cause gallstones.
Susceptibility to respiratory diseases: Obesity causes excess fat to weigh heavily on the muscles, causing the activity of the diaphragm and bronchial airways of obese people to be limited, causing shallower breathing. Obese people often have breathing disorders, snoring, and sleep apnea; the more obese they are, the more breathing disorders they become.
Obesity causes memory loss: Overweight and obese children often have lower intelligence quotients than children with normal weight. Obese adults have a higher risk of Alzheimer's than normal people
Endocrine disorders: Obese women often have menstrual disorders, polycystic ovaries, difficulty getting pregnant, and high risk of infertility. If you are pregnant, you are at risk of having a difficult birth and your baby is susceptible to metabolic disorders. Obese men often have weak physiology and are at risk of infertility.
Low self-esteem, prone to stress: Obese people often have anxiety in front of crowds, which over time leads to lack of optimism and anxiety, leading to prolonged stress and depression.
Increased risk of cancer: Some studies show an association between obesity and cancer such as esophageal cancer, re**al cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, hepatobiliary cancer and prostate cancer. .
