A waist circumference of more than 90 cm for men and 85 cm for women is equal to obesity. Obesity is not just a matter of appearance, but more importantly, it brings us many health problems. Heart disease Even obese people with normal blood lipids have a significantly higher chance of heart disease than normal people. Obese people’s fat will adhere to the walls of blood vessels causing blockages, while increasing the workload of the heart, the heart dilates and fails due to overwork. Some studies have shown that obesity is more likely to cause heart disease than smoking. Cancer A study found that if you are overweight by more than 40%, the chance of endometrial cancer is 5.4 times higher than normal, the chance of gallbladder cancer is 3.8 times higher than normal, the chance of cervical cancer is 2.4 times higher than normal, and the chance of breast cancer is 1.5 times higher than normal. The incidence of rectal cancer is also much higher than normal in people with a long-term high-fat diet. Foot diseases and back diseases Because the weight of the whole body is supported by the feet, so the toenails are often deep in the flesh, corns, calluses and a variety of foot diseases are mostly occurring in obese people. An overweight body also brings excessive varicose force to the back muscles, ligaments, tendons, etc., which leads to chronic back pain. Hypertension Even with mild hypertension, the chance of having a stroke is three times higher than that of a person with normal blood pressure, and the number of deaths increases by a factor of one. Diabetes Because too many fat cells require the pancreas to produce too much insulin to convert sugar in the blood into energy. When the pancreas is overwhelmed, the function of the pancreas is diminished, resulting in higher blood sugar. Blood sugar is also more difficult to control in obese diabetics. Kidney disease Obesity and dyslipidemia can both cause damage to the kidneys, leading to diabetic nephropathy and even uremia. Sleep apnea syndrome Sleep apnea Fat people are more likely to snore and have apnea than thin people, which can easily cause oxygen deprivation and suffocation. Menstrual disorders affect pregnancy obese women are prone to menstrual disorders and other endocrine disorders, and the burden on the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, respiratory tract is heavier than the average woman, once pregnant, the symptoms will be correspondingly aggravated. Some people say “waist circumference is an inch longer, life expectancy is ten years shorter”, if the waist circumference is up to standard, life expectancy will naturally be extended. Therefore, waist circumference is also an indicator of our weight loss surgery. At the same time, if the waist circumference of diabetic patients do not meet the standard, they should change their lifestyles, use exercise with diet to reduce weight, reduce waist circumference, long-term persistence, the formation of good habits, not only to control the diabetic disease is good, the body will also be more and more healthy.
