Obesity occurs as a result of excessive accumulation of fat in the body, which leads to a negative effect on health. Some organs in the body eventually get affected as a result of this and not everyone is aware. We’ll be sharing with you some of the organs to take note of:
- Heart
Obesity causes fats to build up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, thereby causing a disruption in blood flow. Other risks attached to obesity—like diabetes, atherosclerosis ad hypertension—can also increase the chances of developing heart complications.
- Brain
Accumulation of fats in the body affects different areas in the brain: the frontal and temporal lobes, anterior cingulate virus, hippocampus and the basal ganglia; all of which are essential for memory, planning, attention, proper movement and coordination.
Research has it that people with obesity have 8% less brain tissue than those with normal weight.
- Lungs
Obesity weakens the muscles associated with breathing and makes it difficult to breathe. The presence of excess fat in the lungs can cause a blockage of free air flow, which in turn amounts to insufficient oxygen in the blood vessels. This is often associated with sleep apnea and asthma.
- Colon
Colon cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death. It is mainly caused by insulin resistance, which is a major cause of diabetes; and this is common in people that are obese.
- Skin
Skin conditions are among most obvious effects of obesity and obese people have a higher risk of getting exposed to skin infections. Stretchmarks also are a common accompaniment to obesity and it frequently occurs on the breast, thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen and sides as a result of fat deposits that causes tension in the skin. Obesity also makes the skin itchy and dry with red/black patches.
Conclusion
Obesity causes a lot of disorganization in the body system. Precautions should be taken to avoid them, as much as possible.
