1. Heart disease and high blood pressure (hypertension)

Did you know, body fat makes the heart work extra hard to pump blood throughout the body tissues. When the ability of the heart is beyond the capabilities it happens from heart failure. Signs, and incidence of shortness of breath swelling of the legs. Also, the body fat, blood vessels may be narrowed due to deposition of fat pinching.

Weight Gain Sleep With Regard to The Short or Long

Weight Gain Sleep With regard to the short or long

Patients who slept for short or long period of weight gain than those who sleep longer average 7-9 hours, according to reports longitudinal study reported in the journal Sleep month of April.

“Individual and environmental factors that affect energy balance is not fully understood.” Writes Jean Philippe Chaput MSc from University Laval in Quebec Canada.
Current treatments for obesity are generally not managed to maintain weight loss long term, so take a new look at the mechanisms that cause changes in metabolism and behavior that may lead to obesity.

To determine the relationship to sleep duration and weight and the addition of fat, researchers evaluated the body composition measurements and patient self report of sleep duration in 276 adults aged 21 to 64 years participating in the Quebec family study, the duration of 6 years.

More than half the sample came from families with at least one parent and 1 child with a BMI of 32 kg/m2 or more.
Researchers compared changes in obesity index among the groups with short sleep (5-6 hours), average sleep time (7-8 hours), and the long long sleep (9-10 hours)

Compared with the average sleep time, sleep a short time, weight increases more than 1.98 kg in 6 years and a long sleep more than 1:58 kg after adjusting for age, sex, initial BMI.
In year 6, a short sleep and long sleep possible weight gain 5 kg each 35% and 25% compared to the average bed.

Compared with the average sleep time, which has a short bed 27% increased risk for becoming overweight and in a long long sleep had increased risk of 21%. Adjustment for energy intake and physical activity did not affect this situation, which remained significantly different after the covariance includes important

Limitations of this study include measurements based on the questions, a small number of samples so that statistical power is limited, the diversity of age, who do not use random samples to examine the role of genetics as a cause of obesity, reporting long sleep of the participants themselves, and possible confounding by variables that are not measured the relationship between long sleep and obesity as breathing disorders during sleep, insomnia and depression.

“This study equip evidence that short sleep and long sleep in the predictions will increase the risk of weight gain and increased fat in the future in adults,” write the authors. “Furthermore, these results emphasize the need to add sleep duration as a key factor that contributes to weight gain and obesity”.

Fat people may Faster Aging

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Middle-aged people who are overweight or obese, have fewer levels of the chemical marker and function of brain health, according to a new high-tech research with brain scanners reported by Reuters Health. The finding was suspected that excess body fat can accelerate the aging process of the brain causing a greater risk of diseases associated with the brain of old age, such as Alzheimer’s disease, said Dr. Dr. Gazdzinski Stefan and his colleagues from the San Francisco VA Medical Center. The researchers were concerned with the brain scan magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 50 male and female healthy middle-aged. They measured the amount of various chemicals in the brain bercitra white and gray. Gray parts of bodies of nerve cells while the white part is the result of the relationships between nerve cells. Five of the study participants were classified as obese, another 15 had overweight and 30 have a higher weight normal.Semakin body mass indexes (BMI) lower mean concentrations of N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) in the frontal, temporal and parietal brain. BMI is a ratio of height to weight, while NAA is a brain chemical that is useful for some functions and a brain that the overall health markers. People also has heavier body less NAA in frontal gray and has a concentration less of choline – carrier metabolites in the frontal part of the brain white. Substance is a key cell membrane formation.
The strongest relationship between BMI and brain chemistry seen in the white part of the frontal region. The researchers belief that section specifically vulnerable suffered damage caused by old age. There is a possibility that the body is too heavy to accelerate brain aging, or being overweight and obese in childhood Affects brain development, the researchers acknowledge that data. They are not sure whether the brain abnormalities have only had a relationship with fat body or also other health related problems such as malnutrition and lack of motion.

Sexual Dysfunction Threat Create The Weight, Part 2

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

In females, disruption of the balance of this hormone is very expensive even valuable, namely disruption of fertility. In a seminar, Dr. Pramono Sp.OG Hendro of RSU Dr Soetomo, Surabaya, called a study, which reported the existence of the fatty material that could potentially trigger the growth of several cysts in the ovary.
”This is Policystic ovaries (PCO). Disorder that usually occurs in women of childbearing age,”writes in his paper Hendro.
Abnormalities that arise due to the increasing tendency of the hormone androgen (male hormone) in obese women. If the amount of androgen hormones begin to compete with female hormones, many things can happen.
One of them, the process of egg maturation in the ovary. As a result, the egg fails to mature and not out of the ovary. The cells do not mature eggs that form cysts in the ovary.
In men, besides affecting libido, hormonal imbalance is likely also determine a person’s behavior.
As we all know, every human being destined to have male hormones and women. Become what one later, depending on which hormones are growing more dominant. If male hormones and female hormones in balance, could have become concerned believers bisexual or transsexual.
Ferryal warned, hormone balance problems in obese people should be seen from the root of the problem. He indicated, begin the large number of patients that sexual dysfunction is still young (age 30 – the year) started from something that is wrong with the mindset of society.
Children”are overweight is considered healthy, so it is always proud parents,”Ferryal firm.
In fact, the children’s nutritional strengths can actually be a pioneer in the birth of sexual dysfunction to future generations. Because of the excessive weight maintenance, is inviting the degradation of male hormones.
With the mindset of an increasingly entrenched that, Loetan not surprised when the latter began many parents who bring children to the clinic, complaining that his penis is very small.
Logically, if the male hormones begin to be degraded (reduced), the development of the penis is not going to work properly. So parents should be observant, if you do not want to regret later on.
Excess weight has to be fought before the child reaches adulthood (17 or 18 years). Since then passed through puberty or adult age, the penis is already hampered development will be difficult to be restored to its normal size.
As adults, the imbalance of Harmon men and women who have been initiated since childhood peak. If Harmon is more dominant woman, the man will grow like a woman. Enlarged nipples, while the penis shrink permanently.
Nonsense”if anyone can claim an adult penis enlargement,”the owner of the clinic doctors firmly ‘Room Silk Road’ in the Mother’s Hope Hospital.
At this stage, which could be a doctor or therapist is trying to maintain or keep the size of the penis is still below normal functioning properly.
Namely, can still ‘tense’ and ‘hit the target’ with the telling. Vacuum could be used, but not to enlarge the penis, just to repair the blood vessels and nerves pinched.
Settings nutrition become key factors before the patient’s sexual dysfunction therapy to restore the desire and ability to have sex. In other words, patients are usually advised to visit your doctor first to reduce nutrients in the body fat.
The most ideal, overweight patients brought to the clinic before the age of 17 years. Ferryal guarantee overweight children and teens can still be helped.
Micro penis Children”with controlled usually given hormonal therapy, to improve the hormones in the body to be more dominant male hormone, so that his penis is will grow up,”Ferryal beber.
After therapy, based on experience Fernyal, usually micro penis not only growing, but also grow larger than normal size.

Obesity is a recognized risk factor for many health problems, including hypertension, cholesterol, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory problems, arthritis and certain cancers.
In France, since 2001, the National Health Nutrition (PNNS) aims to improve the health of French acting on one of its major determinants: Nutrition. One of the objectives of P.N.N.S. is to stop the increasing number of children and young people who are overweight, currently estimated at 16% of school-age children (Source: Ready Reference Statistics 2005, Ministry of National Education).
