The Dangers of Excess Body Fat

Although a lot of people decide to lose weight because they want to look and feel better, it is important to realize that losing weight is also beneficial for your health, especially when you take the time to combine a healthy diet with regular exercise.


It has been clinically and scientifically proven that excess body fat can increase your risk for heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. In fact, of every four people in the United States, three will die because of either heart disease or cancer, every single year. Of those deaths, around 80 percent are due to unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as inactivity.


When you are obese, it is more difficult to breathe; your heart has a hard time pumping blood to your lungs and the excess fat located throughout your body. It takes more energy just to perform this simple, automatic task. This difficulty can make your heart become dangerously enlarged, which itself can result in high blood pressure and erratic heartbeat, which is potentially fatal.

People who are obese generally have high cholesterol levels, which makes them run a higher risk for arteriosclerosis. This is a term which describes what happens when your arteries narrow because of plaque deposits. This too can be fatal, when blood vessels reach the point of being so narrow that the blood cannot reach your most vital organs: the brain, the heart, and the kidneys. Narrow blood vessels also force your heart to pump more intensively, which causes your blood pressure to rise. This can in turn lead to heart attack, kidney failure, and stroke.


There is also scientific and clinical proof that there is a link between excess body fat and the risk and incidence of cancer. On its own, it is believe that body fat acts as a place for the body to store carcinogens. For women, there is a link between excess body fat and the incidence of breast cancer and uterine cancer, where for men there exists a link with colon and prostate cancer.


There also exists a very fragile balance between your amounts of blood sugar, body fat, and insulin. The liver stores any excess blood sugar, as do other important organs; those sugars are turned into fat when their storage places are fool. When the fat cells reach fruition, they take in lessening amounts of blood sugar. This can make the pancreas produce too much insulin, especially in people who are obese. This overwhelms your system, and that can cause diabetes, gall bladder problems, gastrointestinal disease, sexual problems, osteoarthritis, and strokes.


Clearly, exercise and proper diet are not just ways to make you look better, slimmer, and more fit. It is important to stay healthy so that your body stays healthy.
