HEALTH RISKS OF BEING OVERWEIGHT
Being overweight isn't
only hard on your mind and emotions it's also staggering on your health and

lack of energy, lack of zest for life, a low self image and mental issues it
also causes disease in the body.
Most people that are
overweight don't realize just how dangerous it is and how life threatening it
can be. You wouldn't walk across a busy freeway at will, you won't put your
hand in a fire for the fun of it and you wouldn't drink a bottle if the poison
sign was on it, so why would we as a society being so negligent about our weight?
Being obese is just as dangerous as walking across a busy street without
looking.
FAT RUNS MORE THAN JUST SKIN DEEP
The trouble with belly
fat is that is as though it’s its own entity.
It produces an over abundance of estrogen which alters hormone levels
negatively and causes muscle loss and emotional upsets. The fat you see hanging over your belt runs
deeper than you may realize it's not just limited to the extra layer of flab around
your waistline it also engulfs deep within tissues and organs. The fat that lies just below the skin is
called subcutaneous fat; it’s unsightly and causes cellulite, the deeper fat
which lies deep inside which is called visceral fat —surrounding and overcrowding
your precious life giving organs which prevents optimal health and wellness.
Although subcutaneous fat
is unsightly it isn’t as dangerous as visceral fat is. That's because an
excessive amount of visceral fat come greater health concerns such as it produces
an over abundance of hormones and other substances that raises blood pressure, alters
good and bad cholesterol levels and stops the body's ability to use insulin correctly,
which is called insulin resistance. If
you have a big belly then you are most likely insulin resistant—not good!
