Obesity is More Dangerous Than You Think!

 

Obesity has become a common problem in society, especially among middle-aged people. Obesity has brought people a lot of trouble and harm, but the key problem is that many people don't understand the threat obesity is causing but do think that it just affects the outside beauty.

The harm of obesity is far greater than you think!

More than 80% of diabetes is caused by obesity or overweight!

The close relationship between obesity and diabetes makes it hard for you to imagine that it is not only an independent disease, but also a major risk factor for diabetes.

The risk of obese people developing type 2 diabetes is three times that of normal people, and for every kilogram of weight gain, the risk of diabetes will increase by at least 5%. It can also be said that more than 80% of diabetes is caused by obesity or overweight.

There are currently 490 million pre-diabetic patients in China and most of them are overweight or obese. If such a huge population develops into diabetes in the future, it would be terrifying to think about it!

The blood sugar is not well controlled, which is also caused by obesity!

Obesity, especially abdominal obesity, is not only as simple as growing meat, but the key is that it also makes the pancreas inconvenient aggravates insulin resistance, damage pancreatic B cells, gradually reduces insulin sensitivity and secretion, and makes blood sugar long-term The high level greatly increases the difficulty of sugar control.

Clinically, we can see that obese sugar friends often need to take more insulin or take more kinds of hypoglycemic drugs to control blood sugar, but blood sugar is still not easy to reach the standard. For example, people with normal weight may need 10 units. Insulin can stabilize blood sugar, but obese people need at least 20 units, or even 30 units.

Obesity accelerates vascular disease!

Although the main cause of the vascular disease is abnormal blood sugar, blood lipid, blood pressure, and other indicators, the role of obesity in the process of vascular disease is absolutely outstanding.

Because obesity will significantly increase the level of inflammation in the body and these inflammatory factors will greatly damage the vascular endothelium, make the blood vessels no longer smooth, cause wounds and make it easier for fat and other garbage to penetrate into the vascular intima to form plaques, which leads to arteries. Atherosclerosis, narrowing of blood vessels, and even blockage, greatly increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In fact, about 23% of coronary heart disease is caused by obesity.

In addition, metabolic disorders such as blood sugar, blood lipids, uric acid, and hypertension caused by obesity are all risk factors for vascular damage. It can be said that obesity leads to diabetes and obesity will also make complications come earlier and faster!

In addition, obesity will increase the burden on the heart and make the heart overwhelmed; the fatty liver caused by it will make blood sugar more likely to fluctuate; obesity can shorten the life expectancy of patients with type 2 diabetes by up to 8 years; about 41% Cancer is caused by obesity, and obesity can also increase the burden on joints and greatly increase the risk of sugar fractures.

Therefore, those who are obese must lose weight. This is something you need to do, even if you don't want to do it. You must reduce it because the future is not planned and anything can happen.
