The obese population is mainly teenagers and middle-aged and elderly men, because the older generation thinks that it is better for children to be white and chubby. Therefore, with the improvement of material living standards, the situation of teenage obesity is increasing. Due to the high pressure of work and life, middle-aged men have to work overtime, have meals together, and drink alcohol constantly when facing work and socializing, which leads to gradual obesity. However, the harm caused by obesity is too many. Below are a few major harms of obesity that we will popularize to everyone. What are the hazards of obesity?
1. diabetes
The incidence rate of diabetes is increasing due to obesity, excessive sweets and other reasons. People's living standards have improved, their daily energy supply is sufficient, and their nutritional status has also improved significantly. However, most people's nutritional structure is not reasonable enough, their intake of high fiber food is low, and most people lack exercise, so the number of obese people is increasing. Excessive obesity makes the incidence rate of diabetes younger and younger.
2. The causes of hypertension, hyperlipidemia
and diabetes are very similar. Obesity will also lead to hypertension, hyperlipidemia, irregular and unreasonable diet will lead to fat accumulation, excessive fat intake will lead to obesity, nutrients and fat in the body will not be fully absorbed, which will affect blood circulation, leading to a significant increase in the incidence rate of hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
3. Impact on lifespan
The degree of obesity is closely related to the lifespan of the human body. Scientific research data shows that when the body mass index (BMI) exceeds 35, the mortality rate increases by 30 to 40 percent compared to the general population.
4. Prone to sudden death
Because obesity can affect breathing, most obese people snore. However, snoring should not be underestimated, medically known as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Therefore, some people may experience temporary respiratory pauses while snoring, which can cause brain damage and lead to sudden death in the long run.
5. Decrease IQ
Many people may have doubts that obesity can also lower IQ. Isn't this misleading? In fact, there is scientific evidence because obese people have too much fat, which can affect the development of neural networks and brain function. Secondly, obese people need more oxygen, which makes breathing difficult and causes brain hypoxia. Therefore, obesity can affect intellectual development and reduce IQ.
6. psychological disorders
Due to excessive obesity, obese individuals may experience feelings of inferiority, high body weight, and affect daily life. Slow movements and insufficient reaction speed can cause anxiety, depression, and other psychological problems in obese individuals. If the surrounding environment is slightly unfavorable, it can further exacerbate the psychological problems of obese individuals. The current overweight rate in China has reached nearly 20%, so we need to pay attention to our own weight, improve our dietary structure, avoid overeating, increase the intake of fruits and vegetables, persist in exercise, and maintain good physical fitness.
