What are the hazards of obesity among young people

Previously, we saw that the population for weight loss was mainly concentrated in middle-aged and elderly people and children, but with the development of society, young people have also entered the ranks of obesity. The reason why people become obese is not only due to unhealthy eating habits, but also unhealthy lifestyles. Some people often work overtime and stay up late, coupled with eating big fish and meat, which leads to obesity. Obesity has a huge impact on people. Do you know the hazards of obesity in young people? 1. Heart. Excess adipose tissue in the body requires more oxygen consumption. This means that the heart must provide more blood oxygen to adipose tissue. The more fat is extracted from the arteries, the worse the arterial outcomes, thickening of the blood vessel walls and reducing blood flow. This not only increases the burden on the heart, but also increases the risk of thrombosis and deterioration of systemic blood circulation. The study found that the risk of atherosclerosis in obese people was 10 times higher than that in healthy people.

2. Colon.

Research has found that obesity is associated with most cancers, but it is most closely related to colon cancer. In obese people, there is a striking positive correlation between the incidence rate of bowel cancer and the level of obesity. Experts believe that one major reason is the excessive intake of processed meat and red meat, which increases the risk of intestinal polyps (early signs of colon cancer). Another major reason is the high level of insulin or insulin related developmental factors in the blood. However, the specific mechanisms by which these factors increase the risk of colon cancer are not fully understood.

3. Brain. A new study by the University of California, Los Angeles has found that compared to normal weight individuals, overweight people have an average of 8% less brain tissue and 16 years of premature brain failure. Generally, overweight individuals have 4% less brain tissue than normal individuals and experience premature aging for 8 years. The fatter you are, the worse your cognitive performance in the brain. Scientists believe that this is related to the deterioration of white matter around brain nerve fibers. This will affect the nerve fiber signaling.4. Skin. Obesity can also damage skin health. Obesity can lead to hormonal changes in the body, which in turn can cause keratosis nigra (skin pigmentation, thickening, roughness, etc.) and stasis dermatitis (skin redness, swelling, inflammation, etc.), as well as reduced venous output, poor blood flow, and increased risk of foot ulcers. Do you know the hazards of obesity in young people? Looking at the above, I believe everyone has already realized that obesity has a significant impact on people. As long as people exercise regularly, pay attention to a light and nutritious diet, do not sleep immediately after eating, and sit down after eating, it can effectively prevent obesity and diseases from appearing on our bodies, making our bodies healthier and healthier.
