10 RISK FACTORS OF BEING OBESE AND OVERWEIGHT


Overweight and obesity are two words that are in news more and more frequently in the last decade. It has become an epidemic in the world. When you eat more calories on daily basis than you burn through exercise and physical activities, the extra calories add up over time and lead to obesity. Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more. BMI is calculated taking a person’s weight and height into account. Some of the reasons for obesity are an unhealthy diet, lack of sleep, inactive lifestyle, genetics, age, pregnancy and hormonal changes in the body. At times, people gain weight due to medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hypothyroidism. Obesity is a serious issue that can have a negative effect on many systems in your body and increase your risk of several health problems.

Here are the top 10 health risks of being overweight or obese.

Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which the body is either not capable of producing sufficient insulin to regulate blood glucose levels or the insulin produced is unable to work effectively. Obesity increases a person’s risk of Type 2 diabetes. A 2011 study published in Diabetes Care approves the relationship between obesity and Type 2 diabetes and emphasizes preventing obesity in order to benefit the incidence and care of Type 2 diabetes. A 2014 report by Public Health England states that being overweight or obese is the main modifiable risk factor for Type 2 diabetes.
According to the report, 90 percent of adults with Type 2 diabetes in England were overweight or obese in 2014. A 2015 study published by Nature Medicine reports that obesity causes inflammation, which in turn leads to Type 2 diabetes. The inflammatory molecule LTB4 promotes insulin resistance.  While obesity increases the risk of diabetes, this metabolic condition is the leading cause of early death, coronary heart disease, strokes, kidney disease and   blindness. To cut your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, try to lose weight, eat a balanced diet, get adequate sleep and exercise more.

  1. I was married at 32 and immediately tried to get pregnant. When I was unable to conceive I had blood tests for fertility and was told that I had an FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) of 54 and would not be able to have children. Even though the doctors knew that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis since age 25, no one bothered to check my thyroid levels. my TSH was measured at .001. My Synthroid dosage was lowered. a friend advise me to contact a spiritualist who help with fertility with his medicine, i collected his contact and explain my situation to him he prepared for me a herbal medicine which i took as describe by him. became pregnant very quickly, I had a successful pregnancy. I have my baby august 2017. to get pregnant at age 35 with my 2nd child in september 2019, thank you sir , this is his email contact if you require his help babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka
