∙ 11y agoBeing overweight can become a matter of live and death. People who are overweight and obese are more likely to develop a number of potentially serious health problems. Also, the overall risk of death increases with obesity.
Some of the dangers of being overweight include developing:
- High Blood Pressure: When you have excess body fat, your body retains sodium. When your body retains sodium, blood volume increases and blood pressure rises. High blood pressure causes your heart to work harder, which is dangerous for the heart.
- Diabetes: Obesity is the leading cause of type 2 diabetes. Excess fat makes your body resistant to insulin. When your body is resistant to insulin, your cells can't get the energy they need.
- Stroke
- Abnormal blood fats: A diet high in saturated fats increases the level of LDL (bad) cholesterol.
- Osteoarthritis: Excess weight adds pressure to joints and wears away at the cartilage that protects them.
- Sleep apnea: The more overweight a person is, the greater more severe the sleep apnea will be.
- Cancer: Men and women who are overweight have a higher risk of developing many different kinds of cancer.
- Gallstones: Gallstones are more common in people who are overweight. The connection between gallstones and weight is unclear.
- Weak Pelvic Muscles
- Physical Discomfort: As fat accumulates, it crowds the space occupied by your organs. People who are overweight may have difficulty breathing, walking or sitting.
