【Obesity is the number one killer of health】
In the past, people thought that being able to eat was a blessing, but this concept no longer applies to today. Modern people generally eat high-calorie and high-sugar diets, grab a cup of pearl milk tea, and increase their static activities. They spend long hours watching TV, watching TV series and playing video games on their mobile phones. Not only adults have obesity problems, but also the health of children is worrying. In particular, obesity in children is different from that in adults. In adults, fat cells become enlarged, while in children, fat and obesity cells "increase." Obesity in children not only makes them more likely to gain weight in the future, but also causes chronic diseases in the future.[What are the problems caused by obesity? Even high-risk groups for Covid-19]
Today, let’s talk about what are the problems caused by obesity?When too much fat accumulates in the body, it not only affects the appearance, but also affects our health. Obesity can lead to physiological dysfunction, serious diseases, and a great impact on quality of life. The commonly heard three highs (hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, high blood sugar), fatty liver, degenerative arthritis, asthma, etc. are all proven to be related to obesity. When fat is too high, it is easy to develop painful gallstones, fatty liver, cirrhosis and other liver diseases, as well as pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, etc. with extremely high mortality rates. Various cancers in women (breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer), infertility, and polycystic ovary lesions are also related to fat. Fat not only interferes with the normal operation of organs, but also secretes a variety of hormones that affect development. Therefore, obesity in children may lead to premature puberty in children, disrupting the growth rhythm of adolescence, causing children to have poor appearance and sexual function development problems. For example, excessive obesity in young boys may cause poor testicular development, weak function, low sperm motility, etc. Girls' menstruation will come earlier and their breasts will develop earlier. Obese children grow faster in height and weight than children of the same age, but when they reach adolescence, they stop growing and are mostly short and fat. Obese people's bodies are in a state of chronic inflammation for a long time, their immune function is low, and their resistance to various seasonal epidemics is relatively weak. In addition to influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae, norovirus, etc. that are popular every year, there is also Covid-19, which has hit the world hard this year. In comparison, obese people belong to a high-risk group. In addition to physical diseases, external infectious diseases, etc., there are also physical and mental problems that are easily overlooked by us. Studies have found that obese people have a higher chance of suffering from depression, but there are relatively few discussions on this aspect at present. I will talk about this with you later. Having said so much, the solution is actually very simple, that is - lose weight.
