8 Reasons Why You Should Lose Weight Now
Obesity is the second leading cause of death after smoking. It is associated with an
increased mortality rate of all ages including children. Losing weight though
commercialized is still to your benefit if you carry more weight than you should.
Obesity and overweight are term often used interchangeably. However, technically they
refer to two different states.
Being overweight technically means excess body mass. This includes all the body
tissues. Obesity on the other hand refers explicitly to excess body fat e.g. a professional
heavy weight body builder is overweight because of excess muscles but is not obese.
Obesity is what should concern you. Losing weight is no longer an issue you can afford
to procrastinate, and probably a good health scare is in order.
Reason #1 to lose weight
Diabetes:- It is well known that 80 -90% of type-two-diabetes patients are overweight.
Diabetes is the third leading cause of death in the U.S., as well as the leading cause of
adult blindness in the world. One of the direct causes of obesity is eating wrong foods.

Some of these wrong foods include high glycemic foods. High glycemic foods are
energy dense foods that quickly increase the level of blood glucose in your body after
been eaten. This results to the body reserving the unnecessarily high glucose/energy
into fat. This makes losing weight very difficult.
Releasing a hormone called insulin does this. Type-Two-diabetes occurs because the
body cannot produce enough insulin to remove the excess blood glucose and store it as
body fat. This will occur after straining insulin production for some time. And that’s how
you end up being fat and diabetic.
Reason #2 to lose weight
Stroke:- Obesity is associated with arteriosclerosis, the build up of fatty deposits in the
arteries through out your body. This makes them narrow slowing blood flow and among
other things increases risk of the blood clotting. Arteries at risk include those supplying
blood to the brain. If clotting occurs due to narrowed artery, it blocks blood supply to an
area of the brain resulting to stroke. Losing weight reduces this risk.
Reason #3 to lose weight
Cancer:- The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates between 25% – 33% of
cancer world wide are overweight and physical inactivity related. Body fat evidently
promotes higher levels of insulin production and excess estoregens, a hormone. Both
insulin and estorogens accelerate cell division.
[Probably to create adipose tissue; new fat cells to store fat, in addition to the regularcell division]
As research has indicated, the faster cells duplicate the more they increase chances of a
cancerous cell developing. The situation is further complicated as the rapid cell division
caused by the excess hormones lead also to rapid cell reproduction of the one
cancerous cell, hence cancer starts to develop actively. In addition fat cells tend to keep
carcinogenic i.e. cancer-causing agents, trapped in the body which increases chances of
developing cancer.
Types of cancers you will be at high risk to get include:-
Breast cancer- affecting the breast possibly in both men and women.
Colorectal cancer- affecting colon and rectum.
Prostrate cancer- affecting the prostrate gland in men.
Endometrial cancer- affecting the uterus.
Esophageal cancer- affecting the esophagus.
Renal cell cancer, the cancer of the kidney, etc.

Reason #4 to lose weight
Respiratory problems:- Obesity causes lungs to “become smaller” in size and chest wall
become heavier to lift in the process of breathing in. The most common respiratory
problem is sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a condition where by an individual stops
breathing for some time while asleep. A soft tissue in the throat collapses around the air
way probably due to weight, blocking it. For the severely obese sleep apnea may get
more complicated with hypoventilation. Hypoventilation is accumulation of toxic levels
of carbon dioxide (the gas we breathe out) in the blood, due to inadequate breathing.
Losing weight would be the only permanent safe and healthy solution to sleep apnea.
Reason #5 to lose weight
Urinary Incontinence:- This is involuntary release of urine. Being overweight can
contribute to urinary incontinence. A heavy abdomen due to body fat deposit may cause
valve of urinary bladder to be weakened. The weight also exerts pressure on the urinary
bladder, trying to push urine out. This results to leakage of urine when coughing,
sneezing or laughing. This is because of a slight relaxation of the bladder valve that
normally will not result to leakage. It can even result to bed wetting at night. This
particular problem can be a very effective motivator to lose weight.
Reason #6 to lose weight
Varicose veins:- Also known as Venous Stratis Disease. The leg and thigh muscles assist
the heart in blood circulation just like most large muscles in the body. They are involved
in pumping blood against gravity back to the heart with the help of valves that close to
avoid a backward flow. Pressure as a result of a large abdomen may increase the work
load on the valves eventually causing damage. Damaged valves then allow for blood to
back up, due to gravity, causing high pressure in these veins leading to swelling,
thickening of skin and skin ulcers.
Reason #7 to lose weight
High Blood Pressure:- The BMI (Body Mass Index) and age together are the strongest
indicator of risk of hypertension or high blood pressure. At least a third of hypertension
is related to obesity.
Reason #8 to lose weight
Other Diseases:- Other diseases which MAY occur as a result of being overweight
include;
Gout
Coronary heart disease
Lower back pains

Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Gall stones
Pregnancy disorders such as
Neural tube defect,
Prenatal mortality,
Maternal hypertension,
Gestational diabetes etc.
Impaired immune response
Liver disease
Pancreatitis
Bad body smell
Depression
Research shows that even modest weight loss of even 10 pound for the overweightsignificantly reduces the risk of developing these diseases. Weight loss is in fact a
challenge taken by many every year.
