What are the hazards of excessive obesity? Can trigger four terrifying diseases

As the quality of life improves, the number of obese people is also increasing. Many people believe that obesity can affect people's external beauty, but little do they know that many diseases are directly related to obesity. Let's take a detailed look below. The harm of excessive obesity is significant, which can lead to four terrifying diseases.

1. hyperlipidemia

Obese people like high-fat foods and are prone to accumulating fat in their bodies. When body fat increases, the first thing that increases is blood lipids. High levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood will reduce high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which can transport cholesterol and increase low-density lipoprotein (LDL) formed by atherosclerosis. Seventy percent of friends who have been obese for three years will suffer from hyperlipidemia, but with weight loss and fat intake control, blood lipids can be reduced to normal in a short period of time.

2. diabetes

The incidence rate of diabetes is 30%, and diabetes is 52% for those who have been persistently obese for more than 5 years and 8 years. The obese have good gastrointestinal function, good digestion and absorption, that is, high blood sugar, and insulin needs to be supplemented constantly. Busy work, insulin overload for a long time, when insulin resistance is abnormal, if you do not control diet and insist on exercise, diabetes will eventually fall on you in a year or two.

Even if you lose weight and keep your weight within the ideal range, diabetes will still accompany you.3. Biliary Tract Disease

Compared to normal individuals, obese individuals tend to secrete excessive amounts of bile beyond the normal range. Excessive cholesterol in the bile duct can lead to a series of diseases caused by long-term blockage of the bile duct by stones. According to reports, 50% to 80% of patients with gallstones experience obesity. The incidence rate of biliary tract diseases among obese people is 30%, especially women over 40 years old should pay more attention to the diseases caused by body deformation.

4. breast cancer

Obesity and breast cancer have a certain relationship, because obesity will lead to a large accumulation of fat in the chest. For female friends, excess fat will not be stored in the abdomen like men, but in the chest, buttocks and thighs where fat is easy to accumulate. Excess fat can also accumulate on the breasts, which can easily lead to typical hyperplasia. Especially for those who enter menopause after the age of 40, estrogen secretion decreases, endocrine disorder, typical breast hyperplasia will further deteriorate, thus inducing breast cancer, the reason is directly related to the increase of female obesity.

In addition, obesity also leads to hyperlipidemia, which leads to atherosclerosis. When sclerosis occurs in the cerebral blood vessels, it can lead to insufficient blood supply to the cerebral blood vessels. If left unchecked, the atherosclerotic plaque will become more serious, gradually blocking the cerebral vessels, causing cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis and cerebral infarction. So, everyone must pay special attention and lose weight in a timely manner if they are overweight.
