The health risks of excess stomach fat

Too much fat kills people. This is a fact. Every year, millions of Americans suffer from heart disease and stroke—which are fatal consequences of being overweight. Being overweight, with a body mass index of greater than 18, is a risk factor for stroke and heart disease.

Much has been said in the media about campaigns to lose weight. This is probably due to the fact that there is a great need for awareness in the public with regards to the health problems brought about by excess fat in the body. Indeed, there should be an increased public awareness, since obesity is becoming more of a big health concern. Obesity is a modifiable risk factor. Mortality and morbidity rates brought about by the fatal consequences of this disorder can be greatly reduced if people know the proper ways to diet and exercise.

With these goals in mind, let us enumerate the consequences of having excess fat in the body.

1. Heart disease. As time goes on, many people around the world are being hospitalized for heart attacks, congestive heart failure and ischemic heart disease. Eating foods rich in fat and sweets may cause fat deposits to accumulate inside the walls of your blood vessels. These deposits make the diameter of your blood vessels narrow, thus blood flowing through these blood vessels cannot immediately reach the tissues they supply. As a result, these tissues will suffer from a lack of oxygen and die. This is especially important in the heart, because the heart tissue needs a good supply of oxygen for it to pump more efficiently. Yet, if there is a lack of oxygen for the heart tissue, it cannot pump very well, thus this results to heart failure.
   
   
   
2. Diabetes Mellitus—Diabetes Mellitus Type II is a type of diabetes which is usually adult in onset and is usually seen in obese individuals. This is usually due to the fact that there is already insulin resistance in the fatty tissues of the fat individual. Diabetes mellitus has many fatal consequences including gangrene of the foot, hypoglycemia, diabetic coma, blindness in the form of glaucoma and kidney failure.
   
   
3. Stroke—Narrowing of the arteries by atherosclerotic plaques can also lead to decreased oxygen uptake by the brain. When there is a lack of oxygen in a certain part of the brain, it cannot function very well. The result may be paralysis, slurring of speech or even coma.
   
   
4. Cancers— Obese people are prone to certain types of cancers such as endometrial, colon, gall bladder, prostate, kidney, and post-menopausal breast cancer.
   
   
5. Fatty liver— In obese people, fat accumulates in the liver—a term known as fatty liver. Later on, a liver filled with fat can transform into a fibrosed or scarred liver, which is termed as liver cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis can lead to coma, electrolyte and nutritional disturbances, jaundice or yellowish discoloration of the skin and sclera, bleeding form the esophagus and rectum and finally, death from liver and kidney failure.

These are just some diseases brought about by excess fat in the body but there are many others like venous insufficiency, sleep apnea or excessive snoring and eventually sudden death. So, if you want to live longer, lose fat and keep it off!
