Obesity is not just a cosmetic consideration; it is a direhealth dilemmadirectly harmful to one's health. In the UnitedStates, roughly 300,000 deaths per year are directly related toobesity, and more than 80% of these deaths arein patients with aBMI (body mass index, which will be discussed later inthisarticle) over 30. also increases the risk ofdeveloping a number ofchronic diseases including:

Insulin Resistance. Insulin is necessary for the transport ofblood glucose (sugar) into the cells of muscle and fat (which isthen used forenergy). By transporting glucose into cells,insulin keeps the blood glucoselevels in the normal range.Insulin resistance (IR) is the condition wherebytheeffectiveness of insulin in transporting glucose (sugar) intocells isdiminished. Fat cells are more insulin resistant thanmuscle cells; therefore,one important cause of IR is obesity.The pancreas initially responds to IR byproducing more insulin.As long as the pancreas can produce enough insulin toovercomethis resistance, blood glucose levels remain normal. This IRstate(characterized by normal blood glucose levels and highinsulin levels) can lastyears. Once the pancreas can

no longerkeep up with producing high levels ofinsulin, blood glucoselevels begin to rise, resulting in type 2 diabetes, thusIR is apre-diabetes condition. In fact scientists now believe thattheatherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) associated withdiabetes likelydevelops during this IR period.


Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes. The risk of type 2 diabetesincreases with the degree and duration of obesity. Type 2diabetes is associated with centralobesity; a person withcentral has excess fat around his/her waist, sothat thebody is shaped like an apple.

High blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension is common amongobeseadults. A Norwegian study showed that weight gain tended toincrease bloodpressure in women more significantly than in men.The risk of developing highblood pressure is also higher inobese people who are apple shaped (centralobesity) than inpeople who are pear shaped (fat distribution mainly in hipsandthighs).
