The Hidden Impact of Obesity on Your Health

Carrying excess weight isn’t just about how you look — it can quietly harm your body in ways you might not expect. Here are some of the biggest risks:

🫀 Heart & Circulation

Extra fat makes your heart work harder, pushing blood pressure up.

Increases the chance of heart disease and stroke.

🍬 Blood Sugar & Diabetes

Belly fat makes your body resistant to insulin.

Greatly raises the risk of type 2 diabetes.

🩸 Cholesterol & Liver

Drives up “bad” LDL cholesterol.

Leads to fatty liver disease, which can cause long-term damage.

😴 Sleep & Energy

More weight around the neck can lead to sleep apnoea.

Poor sleep leaves you tired, low in energy and struggling to focus.

🦴 Joints & Mobility

Extra kilos put pressure on knees, hips and your back.

Causes earlier joint wear, pain and stiffness.

🧠 Mind & Mood

Obesity is often linked with low confidence, stress, anxiety and even depression.

🎗 Cancer Risk

Increases the risk of certain cancers (such as breast, bowel and womb cancer).

Fat tissue can change hormones in ways that fuel tumour growth.

✅ Key takeaway:
Obesity isn’t just about body size — it affects your heart, blood sugar, sleep, joints, liver and even your mood. Looking after your weight means looking after your future health.
