What are the dangers of obesity in women

Many female friends will be very nervous when they find that their figure is slowly developing towards obesity, because women attach great importance to their figure. Generally, women attach importance to their figure mainly because of their external image. In fact, being too fat not only affects our external image, but also has certain harm to our physical health. So what are the dangers of obesity in women?

1. Endocrine disorders: Obese women are prone to endocrine disorders, which can make them fatter or even cause excessive fat cells inside and outside the uterus, making it difficult for them to conceive (making it difficult for sperm and eggs to implant).

2. Cancer: Obese women are more likely to develop tumors in the endometrium, gallbladder, cervix, ovaries and breasts.

3. Skin diseases: Obese people often suffer from abrasion rashes, which often occur in skin folds such as the head, armpits, pubic area and thighs, causing red and itchy eczema. Stretch marks-like lines often appear on the waist and thighs, which are called stretch marks. They are caused by the rupture of the rapidly growing dermis. In addition, due to cardiac hypertrophy, venous blood return is slowed down and blocked, which can easily lead to varicose veins.

4. Diabetes: Obesity can cause excessive secretion of insulin in the blood. The more severe the obesity, the higher the insulin concentration when fasting, and the secretion of insulin after eating cannot be increased relatively, resulting in increased blood sugar. Experiments have also found that obese people have fewer insulin receptors in their cells, or are more likely to have problems receiving insulin, so obese people have an increased risk of developing diabetes. If you lose weight, it will improve your blood sugar abnormalities.

5. Hypertension: Excessive insulin secretion and reduced insulin action are the causes of hypertension, and high concentrations of insulin will promote the formation of high blood by enhancing the recovery of sodium ions and the frequency of sympathetic nerves. If you lose weight, your blood pressure will usually decrease as your body's blood flow, cardiac output, and sympathetic nervous system function decrease.

6. Cardiovascular disease: Most obese people have high blood fat concentrations, which makes them prone to vascular embolism, accelerating the atherosclerotic changes in blood vessels and easily causing diseases including coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, etc. Studies have also shown that maintaining an ideal weight can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure and cerebral embolism.

7. Joint diseases: Because obese people’s bone joints need to bear greater weight, they are more likely to age and get injured, leading to osteoarthritis.

8. Abnormal blood lipid metabolism: High blood lipids will affect the rate at which the body carries cholesterol to the liver, and is a risk factor for increasing heart disease.

9. Gallbladder and pancreatic diseases: Obese people have excess fat in their bodies, which causes increased cholesterol synthesis and makes the cholesterol in the bile supersaturated, which is conducive to the formation of cholesterol stones.

10. Poor respiratory function (asthma): Obesity causes thickening of the chest wall and abdominal fat, which reduces lung capacity and vital capacity, affecting the normal ventilation function of the lungs. And because of insufficient ventilation, it may cause polycythemia and lead to vascular embolism. In severe cases, pulmonary hypertension, cardiomegaly and infarcted heart failure may occur. The accumulation of fat may also affect the activity of cilia in the trachea, making it unable to function normally.

The above is an introduction to the dangers of obesity in women. We must correct some bad living habits in our daily lives so that we can maintain a healthy body. At the same time, we should do more exercise, pay attention to controlling our diet in life, and develop a set of reasonable, healthy and nutritious weight loss recipes for ourselves.
