Excess fat is poisonous! Being overweight can cause disease

Excess fat is poisonous

Fat is an indispensable substance for providing heat to the human body and forming certain hormones. A moderate amount of fat can beautify your curves, provide calories, and help the body function smoothly; but excessive fat is a silent killer of your health.

The fat in the blood is the most lethal to the human body. Excessive blood fat can easily cause "arteriosclerosis". Arteriosclerosis is caused by excessive fat in the blood, which makes the blood viscous and has poor fluidity. When the oxidized fat sticks to the blood vessel walls, the originally soft and elastic blood vessels will become increasingly rigid and fragile, leading to "arteriosclerosis."

Arteriosclerosis can easily worsen hypertension and diabetes, and eventually cause cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the impact of blood fat index on health is greater than that of subcutaneous and visceral fat. It may hide fatal dangers in blood vessels and should not be ignored. Fat stored in other parts of the body is also easily oxidized by free radicals to form toxins such as lipid peroxides. Excess fat itself will also secrete toxins, cause allergies and other problems, and is harmful to the human body.

Diseases caused by excess fat

There are quite a lot of diseases related to obesity, including diabetes, hypertension, hyperuricemia, gout, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, sleep apnea syndrome, fatty liver, gallstones, infertility, etc. Fat is also associated with many cancers, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and gallbladder cancer. Among them, diseases caused by high blood lipids are the most common and the most easily ignored. Fortunately, you and I can prevent the problem of high blood lipids in our daily lives through diet and exercise to detoxify.
