Why Being Too Fat Is Bad

It is not unknown to many that anything too much is bad. Especially when it comes to excessive body weight, health is really at risk.

Obesity should not only be seen in the size of the waist, the roundness of the stomach or the thickness of the fat that covers the entire body. There is a deeper reason for this to be a warning about being too fat. Because over time, you don't realize that more and more complications develop that need attention.

So here are the diseases that can be acquired if obesity is not prevented.

1. Blood vessel problems to the heart.

so have you heard of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)? Being obese predisposes to the development of this problem in the veins leading to the heart. A condition in which the blood vessels leading to the heart narrow due to fatty deposits. In this condition, the blood that should reach our heart is reduced. what you feel is chest pain and shortness of breath. When the blockage is severe and the vein is completely closed, it is possible to die if not taken care of immediately.

2. High blood pressure

So maybe you are familiar with high blood pressure? You will often hear this and it is not surprising if you have a housemate with high blood pressure, because this disease is a trend, especially among the elderly. Obese people are more likely to have high blood pressure. Why? Because when the body is too big, the heart functions a lot so that all parts from head to toe can be supplied with the necessary blood. A lot of blood circulating in the body high pressure for the veins passing through. When the blood pressure remains high for a long time, the blood that needs to reach its destination does not distribute properly. And this is where various complications arise.

3. Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease in which blood sugar or blood sugar) is extremely high. Normally, the food we eat is processed by the body to become "glucose". Glucose is transported to cells throughout the body. Cells use insulin to turn glucose into energy.

In type 2 diabetes, the cells do not use insulin properly. At first the body will produce a lot of insulin. Eventually the body can no longer produce insulin to control blood sugar levels.

This type of diabetes is often seen in overweight people.

4. Stroke

When a person is very obese, there is a high probability that the vein blood vessels have parts that also accumulate fat. After time passes and the passage becomes completely blocked due to blocked fat, this part can burst and form a "blood clot".

If the clot that is formed is close to the brain, it can block the flow of blood and oxygen to it, which causes a stroke. The risk of having a stroke increases as the weight increases.

5.Osteoarthritis

Pain in the joints such as knees, hips, back is common in obese people. This is what adults usually call Rheumatism. Excess weight puts extra weight on the joints. And it is inevitable to damage the tendons that protect the joints. The knee that holds a person's weight is often always affected. So don't be surprised that fat people have rheumatism.

6.Cancer

Fatty people are also close to colon, gallbladder, uterus, and breast cancer. The presence of excess fat alters the normal movement of tissues and cells within the body which initiates cancer.

7.Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is shallow breathing or sudden cessation of breathing during sleep. This may be due to excess fat surrounding the neck area which narrows the airway, making it difficult for obese people to breathe.

Do not worry if you are fat because if you are serious about losing weight, it is better to avoid various diseases.
