What harm can excessive heat do to the body?

Obesity not only affects physical beauty, but also brings inconvenience to life. More importantly, it is easy to cause various complications and accelerate aging and death. No wonder some people say that obesity is a sign of disease and aging.

First of all, it is the enemy of health and longevity.

According to statistics, the incidence of cerebral embolism and heart failure in obese people is twice that of normal weight people, coronary heart disease is twice that of normal weight people, the incidence of hypertension is two to six times that of normal weight people, diabetes is about four times that of normal people, and gallstones are four to six times that of normal people. More seriously, the life span of obese people will be significantly shortened. It is reported that the life expectancy of 45-year-old men who are overweight 10% is 4 years shorter than that of normal-weight men. According to Japanese statistics, the standard mortality rate is 100%, and the mortality rate of obese people is 127.9%.

Second, it affects the labor force and is vulnerable to trauma.

Obese people are often afraid of heat, sweating, fatigue, edema of lower limbs, varicose veins, dermatitis at skin folds and so on. Seriously obese people move slowly and have difficulty walking. A little activity leads to palpitation and shortness of breath, which affects normal life and even leads to serious labor loss.

Third, it is easy to suffer from coronary heart disease and hypertension.

Obese people have increased adipose tissue, increased oxygen consumption, and a large amount of work done by the heart, which makes myocardial hypertrophy, especially the burden on the left ventricle, and easily induces hypertension for a long time. Lipids are deposited on the arterial wall, which leads to stenosis and sclerosis of the lumen and is prone to coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, stroke and sudden death.

Fourth, it is prone to endocrine and metabolic diseases.

Metabolic and endocrine abnormalities caused by obesity often lead to many diseases. Abnormal glucose metabolism can cause diabetes, abnormal fat metabolism can cause hyperlipidemia, and abnormal nucleic acid metabolism can cause hyperuricemia. Obese women will have irregular menstruation due to ovarian dysfunction.

Fifth, it has adverse effects on lung function.

The function of the lungs is to supply oxygen to the whole body and expel carbon dioxide. Obese people need more oxygen because of their weight gain, but their lungs can't increase their function. At the same time, the accumulation of abdominal fat in obese people limits the respiratory movement of the lungs, which can cause hypoxia and dyspnea, and eventually lead to cardiopulmonary failure.

Sixth, it is easy to cause hepatobiliary lesions.

Because the hyperinsulinemia of obese people makes their endogenous triglyceride synthesis function hyperfunction, it will cause the accumulation of triglycerides synthesized by the liver, thus forming fatty liver. Compared with normal people, the content of cholesterol in bile acid of obese people is increased, which exceeds the solubility in bile, so obese people are prone to a high proportion of cholesterol stones. It is reported that 50-80% of women with cholelithiasis are obese. In surgery, about 30% of highly obese people have gallstones. Cholelithiasis is more common in the following situations: obese women, over 40 years old, the incidence of gallstones is about 6 times higher than that of normal weight women.

Seventh, it will increase the difficulty of operation and make it easy to get infected after operation.

Obese people will increase the risk of anesthesia, the wound will easily crack after operation, and the chances of catching complications such as falling pneumonia are more than those of non-obese people.

Eight, can cause joint lesions.

Weight gain will make many joints (such as spine, shoulders, elbows, hips and feet) wear or tear, causing pain.

Nine, complicated with hernia

Obesity can be complicated with many kinds of hernia, among which esophageal hiatus hernia with upper stomach transferred to chest cavity is the most common.
