"Obesity" is closely related to 13 types of cancer! 168Is intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet suitable for you?

After the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, many people found that they had more fat on their lower back and abdomen, and obesity followed! It is worth noting that studies have confirmed that "obesity" is closely related to 13 types of cancer. In order to lose weight, many people try to eat starch, 168 intermittent fasting, ketogenic diet, etc. However, nutritionists remind that dietary weight loss methods are not suitable for everyone. You should consult a doctor and nutritionist first to avoid weight loss and weight gain again, or even failure to lose weight.

Study confirms: Obesity is associated with 13 types of cancer

The World Health Organization once pointed out that "obesity is a chronic disease" and called for attention to the harm of obesity to health. Obese people have more than three times the risk of developing diabetes, metabolic syndrome and dyslipidemia, and twice the risk of developing hypertension, cardiovascular disease, knee arthritis and gout. The health hazards brought by obesity are also closely related to the Chinese people. Cancer (malignant tumors) has been ranked first among the top ten leading causes of death in China for many years, and studies have confirmed that "obesity" is related to 13 types of cancer.

According to the "Survey on Changes in the Nutritional and Health Status of the People" released by the National Health Administration of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among adults over the age of 18 in Taiwan has been increasing year by year. It is worth noting that more than 50% of people aged 45 and above, both men and women, are overweight or even obese.

Nutritionist Pan Fuzi from Beitou Health Management Hospital pointed out that the definition of obesity should not be judged by looking at the body shape with the naked eye or relying solely on the weight number, but should be based on calculating the "body mass index (BMI)" as an indicator for assessing obesity. If you want to further understand the muscle and fat composition of various parts of the body, you can arrange for an IOI body composition analysis to test the actual weight including total body water, minerals, protein and body fat, and measure the correct body composition analysis, such as: overall and local muscle mass, muscle and fat weight of the limbs and trunk, minerals and body type, etc.

Losing more than 5% of body weight can bring many health benefits to obese people

Studies have confirmed that when obese people lose more than 5% of their body weight (for example, an adult weighing 90 kg loses 5 kg), it can bring many health benefits, and obesity-related diseases such as hypertension and diabetes will be improved. You can control your weight by adjusting your diet and exercise routine. If necessary, you can consult a doctor or nutritionist to design a weight loss plan that suits you.

Nutritionist Pan Fuzi reminds us that we often hear about some fast and effective diet control methods for weight loss, such as: not eating starch, 168 intermittent fasting method, ketogenic diet, apple weight loss method, etc. Not all diets are suitable for everyone, especially those with chronic diseases (endocrine, three high problems, chronic kidney disease and kidney disease, etc.). They must consult with a doctor and nutritionist before implementing a diet. It also reminds us that in all diet weight loss methods, we should still achieve a balanced diet and adhere to the principle of less oil, less salt and more fiber.
