8 reason to lose weight now

Summary:

Losing weight is no longer an issue you can afford

to procrastinate, and probably a good health

scare is in order.

Obesity is the second leading cause of death aftersmoking. It is associated with an increased mortality rateof all ages including children. Losing weight though

commercialized is still to your benefit if you carry moreweight than you should.

Obesity and overweight are term often usedinterchangeably. However, technically they refer to two

different states. Being overweight technically means excess body mass.

This includes all the body tissues. Obesity on the otherhand refers explicitly to excess body fat e.g. a professional

heavy weight body builder is overweight because of excessmuscles but is not obese.

Obesity is what should concern you. Losing weight is nolonger an issue you can afford to procrastinate, andprobably a good health scare is in order.

Reason #1 to lose weight

Diabetes:- It is well known that 80 -90% of type-two-diabetes patients are overweight. Diabetes is the third

leading cause of death in the U.S., as well as the leadingcause of adult blindness in the world. One of the directcauses of obesity is eating wrong foods. Some of thesewrong foods include high glycemic foods. High glycemicfoods are energy dense foods that quickly increase the

level of blood glucose in your body after been eaten. Thisresults to the body reserving the unnecessarily highglucose/energy into fat. This makes losing weight verydifficult.

Releasing a hormone called insulin does this. Type-Two-

diabetes occurs because the body cannot produce enoughinsulin to remove the excess blood glucose and store it asbody fat. This will occur after straining insulin productionfor some time. And thats how you end up being fat anddiabetic.

Stroke:- Obesity is associated with

arteriosclerosis, the build up of fatty deposits inthe arteries through out your body. This makes

them narrow slowing blood flow and among

other things increases risk of the blood clotting.Arteries at risk include those supplying blood to

the brain. If clotting occurs due to narrowed

artery, it blocks blood supply to an area of the

brain resulting to stroke. Losing weight reduces

this risk.

Cancer:- The World Health Organization (WHO) estimatesbetween 25% - 33% of cancer world wide are overweight

and physical inactivity related. Body fat evidentlypromotes higher levels of insulin production and excessestoregens, a hormone. Both insulin and estorogensaccelerate cell division.

[Probably to create adipose tissue; new fat cells to store

fat, in addition to the regular cell division] As research has indicated, the faster cells duplicate the

more they increase chances of a cancerous celldeveloping. The situation is further complicated as therapid cell division caused by the excess hormones leadalso to rapid cell reproduction of the one cancerous cell,hence cancer starts to develop actively. In addition fat cellstend to keep carcinogenic i.e. cancer-causing agents,trapped in the body which increases chances ofdeveloping cancer.

Types of cancers you will be at high risk to get

include:-

Breast cancer- affecting the breast possibly inboth men and women.

Colorectal cancer- affecting colon and rectum.

Prostrate cancer- affecting the prostrate gland inmen.

Endometrial cancer- affecting the uterus.

Esophageal cancer- affecting the esophagus.

Renal cell cancer, the cancer of the kidney, etc.

Respiratory problems:- Obesity causes lungs tobecome smaller in size and chest wall becomeheavier to lift in the process of breathing in. Themost common respiratory problem is sleep apnea.Sleep apnea is a condition where by an individualstops breathing for some time while asleep. A softtissue in the throat collapses around the air wayprobably due to weight, blocking it. For the severelyobese sleep apnea may get more complicated with

hypoventilation. Hypoventilation is accumulation oftoxic levels of carbon dioxide (the gas we breatheout) in the blood, due to inadequate breathing.Losing weight would be the only permanent safe

and healthy solution to sleep apnea.

Urinary Incontinence:- This is involuntary release

of urine. Being overweight can contribute tourinary incontinence. A heavy abdomen due tobody fat deposit may cause valve of urinarybladder to be weakened. The weight also exerts

pressure on the urinary bladder, trying to pushurine out. This results to leakage of urine whencoughing, sneezing or laughing. This is becauseof a slight relaxation of the bladder valve that

normally will not result to leakage. It can evenresult to bed wetting at night. This particularproblem can be a very effective motivator to lose

weight.

Varicose veins:- Also known as Venous Stratis

Disease. The leg and thigh muscles assist theheart in blood circulation just like most largemuscles in the body. They are involved inpumping blood against gravity back to the heart

with the help of valves that close to avoid abackward flow. Pressure as a result of a largeabdomen may increase the work load on thevalves eventually causing damage. Damaged

valves then allow for blood to back up, due togravity, causing high pressure in these veinsleading to swelling, thickening of skin and skin

ulcers.

High Blood Pressure:- The BMI (Body Mass Index)and age together are the strongest indicator of

risk of hypertension or high blood pressure. At

least a third of hypertension is related to obesity. Reason #8 to lose weight

Other Diseases:- Other diseases which MAY

occur as a result of being overweight include;


12/14

Gout

Coronary heart disease

Lower back pains

Osteoarthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis

Gall stones

Pregnancy disorders such as

Neural tube defect,

Prenatal mortality,

Maternal hypertension,

Gestational diabetes etc.

Impaired immune response

Liver disease

Pancreatitis

Bad body smell

Depression

Research shows that even modest weight loss of

even 10 pound for the overweight significantly

reduces the risk of developing these diseases.Weight loss is in fact a challenge taken by many

every year.


14/14

Unfortunately many fail in this healthy endeavor.

And all because of one thing; they lack proper

information on effective weight loss. Effectiveweight loss is permanent, and a permanent

weight loss depends fundamentally on four

factors. These four are what we at Health-eMark

call the Top 4 Reasons for Weight Loss Failure.
