When you hear the word obese what comes to mind? People who are severely overweight are generally ones first thought when they hear that word. Obesity is a state that a person is in where their health can be in danger from having too much body fat. With the extra weight on your body, you can put yourself at risk for such problems as; high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, arthritis and even sleep apnea.
With those possible conditions alone, it is important to get your weight down to a healthy level, even if you do not have any of the above mentioned conditions. Make changes in your life before obesity takes it toll on you. If you continue to carry a great deal of extra weight around you can end up with any number of the above conditions.
Body Mass Index is what professionals use to tell if a person is obese. This is a combination of your weight and your height measurements that will give your total Body mass Index. You are considered obese if your BMI is greater than 30. You are considered at risk for health problems. The amount of BMI for people of Asian race is 27.5, any higher than that and your health may be at risk.
There are plenty of websites that have interactive tools that you can use to figure out your own personal BMI. Many people do not realize that where they carry there is weight is just as important as the extra pounds that they carry around. For instance, people who carry their weight around their middle part versus their hips seem to be more prone to having health issues.
Men with a waist size bigger then 40 inches have a higher chance of disease where for women a waist size that is more than 35 inches are at a higher risk for disease. For people of an Asian race their chances are greater for disease with a smaller waist. For the men a waist size of 46 inches or more is a risk and for the women with a waist size of 32 inches or more puts them at risk
It is said that main reason for obesity is that people eat more in calories then the daily recommended amount. When you do that your body can’t process the food, fat and nutrients as fast as it should and therefore it stores the fat. It can also be due to a medical issue or medications that you may be taking. The best bet is to talk with your doctor for the best advice as to what you need to do to loose weight.

Estrogen seems to act like a middleman in its positive effect on the brain, raising the possibility that future drugs may bypass the carcinogenic hormone altogether while reaping its benefits. A split-personality chemical, estrogen is thought to protect neural circuits and boost learning and memory, while at the same time increasing cancer risk when taken in high doses…
Obesity is becoming more and more of a health issue as the rate of obesity rises. There are several reasons that obesity has become more prevalent, especially in America. There are of course many things that we can do to change the obesity rate, and part of that is understanding the effects of obesity on a person. If enough of the population understands the effects of obesity they may begin to see how detrimental it is and work harder to correct the problem.
First of all the effects of obesity can be listed as feeling overweight, tired, irritable, and having underlying health issues such as high cholesterol or heart disease as a result of the obesity. If you are overweight there are symptoms and danger that you should look out for. Obesity is considered a medical condition and there are several causes for the obesity to occur, which is why understanding the effects of obesity are very important.
Obesity has been associated with osteoarthritis in the hands, hips, back, and knees. The weight of being obese causes these joints to work improperly. In other words the arthritis is usually caused by inflammation of the joints. The inflammation occurs because the joints cannot handle the added pressure on them that the obesity is causing.
Next you can have an increased risk of breast cancer in women and men due to the effects of obesity. It seems that the breast cancer tends to form in the fatty layers formed by the excess fat in the breasts and can help the cell mutations of cancer form. There are of course unknown causes of actual breast cancer, so it is hard to say if the obesity is the cause or just making it more prevalent.
There is also a strong association with effects of obesity for esophagus cancer. It seems that perhaps the more food a person eats that is toxic to the body the more likely they are to have cancer in the esophagus as the food moves its way into the stomach. It could also be the heart burn or acid reflux that can occur form overeating which is an effect of obesity.
Heart attack is by far the most deadly concern for people with obesity. The effects of obesity on the heart are as follows: the heart is straining to pump blood through the body, the cholesterol of the individual is usually higher, and the fatty foods that are eaten tend to cause blockages in the aorta and heart valves.
