Why is overweight harmful?

Being overweight is considered by modern medicine as an aesthetic and a cosmetic problem. It also contributes to the emergence of many chronic and acute diseases. According to the WHO, approximately every tenth person globally suffers from excess weight. Besides, this number is progressing. All overweight people should be aware of the dangers of an increased body mass index for health. So, why is overweight harmful to people?

Doctors warn that being overweight is a factor that directly affects life expectancy. Only 60% of people suffering from excess mass live to be 60 years old, and less than 10% live longer than 80 years.

Diseases associated with obesity

A surplus of weight affects all systems and organs. The most dangerous pathologies from the extensive list of diseases associated with obesity are:

• Hypertension, atherosclerosis, strokes, heart attacks and other conditions of the heart and blood vessels;
• Type II diabetes and its complications: loss of vision, angiopathy, neuropathy;
• Oncological diseases (colon and uterus cancer);
• Joint and spinal diseases – arthritis, arthrosis, osteochondrosis, protrusions and hernia;
• Shortness of breath and respiratory failure;
• Erectile dysfunction in men;
• Infertility in women;
• Kidney disease;
• Household injuries.

People with obesity have psychological disorders associated with their appearance. Obese people often experience social discrimination at home and work. So why is overweight harmful to health?

Why is overweight harmful

Overweight women are at an increased risk of breast, uterus, and large intestine cancer. Colon cancer also applies to the male population and prostate and rectum cancer. Some types of malignant tumours develop exclusively in obese people.

An additional danger factor is the difficulty of early cancer detection in overweight patients. The fatty layer can hide the presence of a tumour until the last stages of the disease, when it becomes challenging to provide adequate therapy.

Excess weight

A high mass index is digestive diseases such as cholecystitis, pancreatitis, gastritis, and ulcers. Excess weight affects the urinary system, contributing to the formation of kidney stones and urinary incontinence. Obese often develop other pathologies of the endocrine system and metabolic processes (besides diabetes), such as gout and adrenal and thyroid dysfunctions. Excess fat adversely affects the lungs, so obese people often have asthma and shortness of breath.

To sum up, people prone to rapid weight gain should be involved in diet therapy and obesity prevention at a young age. Thus, we discovered why being overweight is harmful and that colonic irrigation may help cleanse the body of accumulated toxins.
