Health Risks of Obesity

There are by no means any benefits to obesity but to the contrary all the negative consequences to overweight and obese person's health and daily quality of life. An overweight and obese person becomes literally a magnet to all sorts of deadly diseases and affects all aspects of the enjoyment of life. I have been there myself and battled obesity for 17 years and against all odds defeated it. That's why I acquired 5 sub-specialties in pharmacy and went on a 20 year-quest for answers.

The answers are revealed in a book for diabetics titled “ Lifestyle Makeover for Diabetics and Pre-Diabetics” (Release date 10/01/08) and four other e-books which can be purchased for a nominal fee along with tons of bonuses from www.LifestyleMakeoverEbook.com (see below). You can change the course of your life and you must not live with obesity. I provided very simple solutions and with a Lifestyle Makeover process and only 4 small choices a day you will lose weight permanently without ever dieting again . This e-book is titled “Lifestyle Makeover for All Couch Potatoes” and can be purchased from the website mentioned above and it comes along with $250 of bonuses at no extra cost to you.

Now back to the detrimental health risks of obesity. We now know, based on reliable data and clinical trials, that obesity and inactivity cause:

• Premature death

• Type 2 Diabetes (affecting over 20 million people)

• High cholesterol (over 50 million Americans have it)

• Heart Disease

• High Blood Pressure (Over 63 million people have it)

• Stroke

• Blood clots in heart, brain, legs and lungs

• Gall bladder disease

• Varicose veins and swollen legs

• Breathing disturbances while asleep

• Asthma

• Breathing problems (difficulty breathing while performing minimal exertion or walking)

• Fat accumulation inside the tissues of vital organs such as the liver, heart and major arteries, reducing their capacity to function normally

• Cancer (colons, kidneys, endometrial, uterus, breast, prostate and gallbladder)

• Reproductive disorders (women have trouble having children and men have reduced sperm count)

• Menstrual irregularities

• Presence of excess body and facial hair

• Urine leakage caused by weak pelvic muscle

• Complications during surgeries

• Psychological disorders like depression and anxiety

• Stigmatization and discrimination

• Reduced immunity and the capacity to fight off infections

• Catching colds and infections more frequently and taking longer times off work for recovery

• Higher incidences of acid reflux disease and indigestion

If someone is a smoker as well, then the list of fatal risks of smoking is even longer. Similar to obesity, smoking not only has detrimental and damaging effects to the heart, major arteries, blood pressure, blood cholesterol and reproductive organs, but also causes deadly lung diseases and various kinds of cancer including lung cancer. The list goes on and on. It is no secret and no surprise that if someone is overweight, inactive and/or a smoker, and if they continue on this path, their risk of having many of the threats listed above is compounded several-fold. Quit smoking today with the e-book titled “Lifestyle Makeover for All Tobacco Users” in 3 simple Action Steps from the same website.

Unfortunately, the thought that “life-threatening problems happen to others and not me” is rampant, but the crystal clear statistics tell the different but real story. The risks are so very many that in reality, it is highly likely that you will be inflicted with one or many of these deadly ailments IF you continue on the same path of disregard.

YOU ARE LEFT WITH ONLY ONE CHOICE, AND THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE HAS TO BE GREENER. YOU STILL CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR HEALTH, AND IT IS MUCH SIMPLER THAN YOU THINK.
