Obesity and Metabolism Disorders

Poor diet affects obesity because your diet plays a role in a diet to lose weight. In order to lose weight you must have a good healthy diet and a good exercise plan. After you lose the weight you want to stick to your diet becasue you may gain more punds than you had before if you start eating junk again but not always. Muahaaaa! ;)

That depends on her age, height, Nationality, genetics...

No. Do this exactly:

Go to a local donut shop, and look at all the people there, most of the children are fat.

Go to a local McDonald's shop, and look at the kids in the Play Place, the kids are fat.

Look in the Mirror, you are probably fat too, for asking that question. You are worried that the obesity problem might include you too, but you wanted to ask a random person on the Internet. How low modern society has made my fellow human beings? It saddens me.

It is probably not obesity itself that would end your life, but one of the many other conditions that would be caused by or made worse by obesity and the great stress that it puts on the body over time. Even though obese people have a high risk on developing such conditions, they have a higher chance on surviving it. It's called the obesity paradox.

Prevention

Nutrition ~jm~

Both a lack of exercise and poor eating habits contribute almost equally to childhood obesity. The easiest to fix though is the eating habits but most parents have a problem with getting their kids moving.

it depends. some obese people can be very healthy and live normal lifespans. it's not the obesity that shortens the lifespan, it's all of the problems that come with it. for example, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems, ect.

being obese can substantially shorten the lifespan, but only in the worst case scenario. i would contact your local GP if you're worried.

People who eat too much and do not excercise. like never exercise and eat too much candy,cookies,brownies and sometimes to much healty food like stuffing yourself with apples will cause obesity unless you have a rare deasise where you dont get obesity(lol)

Yes... It is ALWAYS a good time to begina exercise..HOWEVER, being fat/obese..you want to start off slow. First off -> CHANGE YOUR DIET!!! Drink one bottled water (16 oz) before EVERY meal!! You will be amazed at how much weight you will actually lose just by doing this. As far as exercise, start off walking....daily! Increase the distance everyday, until you feel you can actually start running, then start jogging/running everyday. Increase distance as you feel you can..but ALWAYS maintaIn a good diet..

You didn't wake up fat~! It took awhile for you to get that way. You are NOT going to wake up trim. It will take a while for you to get that weigh (pun).

Remeber things will NOT change, until YOU change them!!

Obesity has nothing to do with IQ.

It is highly improbable that a child dies from obesity. It is remotely possible that a child would die from complications of obesity or with obesity as a contributing factor to mortality. Generally speaking, obesity just doesn't kill children. What is much more likely is that obesity can be a contributing factor to the shortening of our adult life span, can contribute to "premature" death later in life because "extra" weight was carried by an individual from a young age. Generally, children who develop a profile of "heaviness" early in life face a greater struggle with the "battle of the bulge" throughout their lives. And the effects of being overweight on a child or young person's self-esteem (which is critical) and on peer opinion (which is not critical but is, nonetheless, extremely important) can be damaging, scarring. Plus, being "heavy" has a "feel" of being a self-sustaining personal issue. Once a person is "heavy" (for whatever reason) he may likely make food and activity choices that maintain his obesity. What is probably the saddest of all is the lack of mobility of young (or any other) people who are overweight. They get a bit less from life. They can be quite happy, but could take it up a level with some help and guidance. (Especially if it came early, and with love and support.) Quality of life is a real factor in living. Poor quality of life could be argued to be the primary reason people terminate their lives. That is, low quality of life due to illness or just the perception of a "lousy life" meaning one not worth living (for a single or for a variety of reasons) as motive for suicide. Okay, class. Show of hands, please. Who among you does not think being "overweight" contributes to shorter life and lower quality of life. Anyone? No one. Thought so. Correct. No one believed being "overweight" does not shorten lives and suck some of the quality out of them. You all know that it does. Good! You've all done your homework. Superlative.... Look hard at this one. The country is starting to recognize the truth here. But we're slow. Too slow. Fat ain't where it's at. Fit and mobile is the ideal. Not buffed out. (But go for it if ya wanna.) And not skinny. Despite all the hype. (Why do we let people do that to us? Drive us to obsess over being skinny and do unbelievable things to our bodies to get there? Oh, sorry. That's another question.) In fairness, skinny can be unhealthy, but nowhere nearly as unhealthy (by the number of those affected) as being a good chunk overweight. Let's step up and grab the bull by the horns. We need to get this one under control. Lives are at stake. Quality of life, the joy of living and of cruising around on the planet in a body that isn't over-qualified for couch duty is something we have a lot of control over. If you have a choice of driving any vehicle on the lot, you gonna pick a sports car, an RV or sedan, or you gonna opt for a tired twenty foot box truck? How's it gonna handle? And how far do you see yourself driving it, hmm? Best of luck in any activity that pulls you back away from the "heavy" zone.

Yes, it can. Persons with abdominal obesity become lazy and find it difficult to move easily. Therefore, when they meet with some accident, they can't protect themselves because they can help to get themselves out of the vehicle. Moreover, obese persons' ability to defeat diseases is also suffered by obesity and they get more than average time to recover.

The link is that an unhealthy diet can throw off your sugar levels and cause you to gain weight.

An underlying medical condition or the parents. There is a link between advertising, easy access to unhealthly food, and lack of exercise to obesity. Parents need to stand in between that link and their child. They need to take a more proactive role in their own child's health instead of leaving it up to the school system. They have to quite blaming society for their lack of parenting skill. It isn't an easy task by any means. But who ever said parenting was supposed to be easy? Only when a problem is recognized, responsibility taken for it, can it be solved.

Generally 30 days would be logical for chronic diseases. NHS says 28 days, wonder what is the normal practice around the world?

Obesity can lead to: Joint problems, Diabetes, difficulty breathing, poor circulation, artereal clogs, heart problems, DEATH. Obesity is a real problem that can seriously kill. Not only does it effect you physically, but mentally and emotionally. If you are struggling with obesity you need to take control. Gain the support of loved ones, family and friends alike. Start working out and when you start losing weight your self esteem and confidence will build as well as your physical health.

In the research it shows that obesity is very high in the United States then other state. Why? Because in the United States people like to a lot of fast food and eat late at night. Obesity come from people not exercising and watching what they eat. For example: people in other states watch the calories they eat and how much starch you are taking in. Well people in the United States don't look at the calories and starch they are eating everyday.

Anarexia gets rid of obesity, but anarexia is much less healthy than obesity. People who are anarexic don't get enough nutrients, and nutrients are what enable use to do everything we do. Thinking, moving, growing, healing, and everything our mind and body does, requires nutrients in order to do it. Food is our fuel, and without it we have no energy or strength and we can't think straight. There are better ways to get rid of bodyfat than by malnutrition.

"Research over the past few years has determined that morbid obesity occurs when a person has a combination of two distinct factors. First, the individual has a genetic predisposition to obesity. This simple means, there DNA is already coded for excessive weight gain. Secondly, the individual has a lifestyle that makes obesity more probable. That is to say, instead of living a healthy active life, the person may have a lifestyle that is more sedentary and full of unhealthy eating habits."

Glucagon is a naturally occurring hormone that is produced in the pancreas. The main function of glucagon is to react to a situation where there is a low level of blood sugar present. The release of glucagon into the bloodstream helps to restore blood glucose levels back to a point that is considered acceptable for the general function of the body. So, if the body has too much insulin, as in the case of diabetes, the pancreas will emit glucagon to attempt to stabilize everything.
Glucagon is a hormone, secreted by the Islets of Langerhans by Alpha Cell in Pancreas, that raises blood glucose levels. Its effect is opposite that of insulin, which lowers blood glucose levels

It depends on your height. Think about it, a very tall person should weigh a lot, and a short person should weigh less. So obese for someone of one height is not obese for another height.

Well, advertising clearly works (that's why companies like McDonalds spend millions of dollars on it. McDonalds advertising does not reference the extremely high fat and calorie content of its food. It is argued that parents in particular can be blamed for the obesity of their children.

Gastrointestinal surgery for obesity, also called bariatric surgery, alters the digestive process to achieve rapid weight loss. Many of these surgeries involve staples, so leakage and infection can occur.

The name Bertha is associated with obesity because of its origin which referred to one nun who was overweight and unattractive.
