High Risk To Be Obese

Recent Research says people with kidney problems if obese has a greater possibility to get hyperparathyroidism means a greater possibility to have heart attack and death.

The obesity increases the parathyroid hormone(PTH) level bringing abnormality in bone structure. The study is published in the September issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. Excluding our outer problems obesity may cause following diseases.

Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Stroke (cerebrovascular accident or CVA)
Heart attack (myocardial infarction or MI)
Heart failure (congestive heart failure)
Cancer (certain forms such as cancer of the prostate and cancer of the colon and rectum)
Gallstones and gall bladder disease (cholecystitis)
Gout and gouty arthritis
Osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis) of the knees, hips, and the lower back
Sleep apnea (failure to breath normally during sleep, lowering blood oxygen)
Pickwickian syndrome (obesity, red face, underventilation, and drowsiness).

Obesity is often multifactorial, based on both genetic and behavioral factors. Accordingly, treatment of obesity usually requires more than just dietary changes. Exercise, counseling and support, and sometimes medication can supplement diet to help patients conquer weight problems. Extreme diets, on the other hand, can actually contribute to increased obesity.

We should be careful enough to curb obesity by changing our nature of living.
