REASON WHY MANY PEOPLE BECOME OBESE

Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair one’s health.

Anything that makes people’s energy higher than their energy output is wrong. When food energy intake (from carbohydrates, fats and proteins) is higher than the energy being utilised for basal metabolism, thermic effect of food and physical activity, the excess energy gets stored up in an individual’s adipose tissues as fat. This fat, when accumulated around the abdomen, can cause insulin resistance, leading to abnormal glucose metabolism (diabetes). When it is accumulated around the internal walls of blood vessels and arteries, it can lead to heart diseases.

Excessive body fat influences the levels of a number of hormones and growth factors such as Insulin-like growth factor, Insulin and Leptin, which become elevated and this can promote the growth of cancer cells in the colon, rectum, prostate, endometrium and the breast. continue to the next page here http://bodychemist.blogspot.com/2014/01/reasons-why-obese-people-are-not-healthy.html
