Health problems correlated with obesity

04.16.2007

It has been proved that an excessive weight in connection with Insulin Resistance can serve as one of the causes of a heart disease and lead to heart attack or stroke.

Obese people often suffer high cholesterol levels and excessive blood pressure, which are the symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome. This syndrome is one of the risk factors affecting the cardiovascular system.

Remember that Insulin Resistance increases the risk of being taken ill with reversible Pre-Diabetes. The imbalance of glucose and insulin can lead to irreversible type of Diabetes. This illness increases the likelihood of heart attacks, kidney disease and vascular disorders including blindness and amputation.

Let’s look closer at the most dangerous illness that obesity can call for. This is a Coronary Heart Disease, a broad term associated with any sickness that affects the work of cardio muscle including hypertension, atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis. CHD may be caused by many factors including high ‘bad’ cholesterol LDL and low ‘good’ HDL cholesterol, excessive weight, hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes, heavy smoking and lack of physical activity. The above mentioned conditions are found both in Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome.

Constant elevated levels of insulin and glucose are symptoms of Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome. One of the most dangerous factors for atherosclerosis is high level of triglycerides. The major factor for secreting increased levels of triglycerides is the elevated rate of insulin production. This hormone is secreted in pancreas and released into the circulatory system where it is plays crucial role in consuming of glucose.

When body cells resist insulin both insulin and glucose build up in the blood. Excessive amounts of insulin turn in weight gain and elevated blood pressure – risk factors for CD.

When insulin contacts with the interior wall of blood vessels it damages the walls of the arteries and causes plaque. So patients suffering both Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome are highly predisposed to the changes in blood lipids and the circumvented cardiological diseases.

Recommendations to those belonging to a risk group are the same as for reducing Insulin Resistance and are as follows: regular physical activity, healthy food patterns and giving up unhealthy habits and lifestyle choices.

Patients require a consultation with a specialist who will suggest a balanced diet including your disease oriented vitamins, minerals and herbs and a realistic program of physical activity that will help abandoning unhealthy lifestyle pattern.
